Inholland student Ikram to perform at the Liberation festival The Hague

Our International Creative Business student, Ikram Benomar Batti, won the final of the Hi The Hague Student DJ Contest at the Paardcafé in The Hague on March 5th. The jury was unanimous after the first decision round. Thanks to her convincing performance, Ikram will be performing at the Liberation Festival in The Hague on May 5th.  


 

Last Monday evening, five promising DJs, all students from The Hague, gave their best show at the Paardcafé for the audience and a professional jury, including programmers from event venues and organizers such as Paard, Danzig, Clubhopping, and Stappen in The Hague. Ikram participated in the DJ Contest last year but was not chosen at that time. This year, she delivered a performance that blew everyone away!

Unique style that crosses cultural boundaries
Ikram, born in Madrid and of Moroccan descent, grew up with electronic beats, Arabic music from her mother, and Latin rhythms, which sparked her love for diverse music styles. A trip to underground raves in Germany strengthened her connection to music and laid the foundation for her own unique style. Her sound is a fusion of influences that crosses cultural boundaries.

Festival performances
In the coming months, you can see Ikram performing at various festivals in The Hague, including the Liberation Festival on May 5th at the Malieveld, where she will perform on the Sena Performers Stage (18.45) . The other finalists, including another Inholland student (Kevin Sewnarain), will perform at the Liberation Festival on the HI The Hague Student Experience.
