The Netherlands have since very early, specifically December, revealed that the country will be represented by S10 (Stien den Hollander) in this year’s Eurovision in Turin.

S10 is an emerging artist of the indie/alternative music scene. We also know that her participation will be entirely in the Dutch language, which makes her the first since 2010 to represent the country in their native language, after Sieneke and her song Ik ben verlierf (Sha-la-lie).

The last few days there were rumors by local media of the country about the song’s release date being Thursday, March 3rd!

Today, both the Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS and S10 herself, officially announced that the rumors were true, placing the release of the song on Thursday, March 3rd.

Shownieuws reports that the Dutch entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Italy will be revealed on March 3.

RTL’s Shownieuws reported that the song that S10 will represent the Netherlands with at Eurovision will be revealed on March 3. AVROTROS has yet to confirm the date that the Netherlands will reveal their entry for the 66th Eurovision Song Contest.

The date reported by Shownieuws ties in with previous Dutch song reveals which have traditionally taken place during the first week of March. S10’s entry for Eurovision 2022 will be in Dutch, this will be the first time that the Netherlands will send a Dutch-language entry since 2010, when Sieneke performed Ik ben verliefd (Sha-la-lie).

Little information on the Dutch entry for Turin has been revealed so far. Back in December, the broadcaster announced that S10 would be representing the Netherlands. S10, stage name of Stien den Hollander, is a rising star in the alternative scene of the country. Her music discusses personal and difficult topics, such as her own struggle with mental health. All we know about her song for Turin so far is that she will be singing in Dutch.

A commission consisting of Dutch television commentators Jan Smit and Cornald Maas as well as radio-DJs Coen Swijnenberg and Sander Lantinga chose the Dutch entry for Eurovision 2022. Similarly to 2019, when The Netherlands’ winning entry was chosen, the group is more focused on the song itself, rather than the artist.

Last year, the Netherlands hosted the Competition in Rotterdam. The country was represented by Jeangu Macrooy with the Birth of a New Age taking the 23rd place.

A few minutes ago, the Dutch national broadcaster AVROTROS announced that Stien den Hollander, known by the stage name S10, will represent The Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, with a Dutch song.

S10 appeared at a YouTube video, practically announcing her participation at the contest representing The Netherlands, to the masses of eurofans:

It gives me courage.
Music is for me the most important thing there is.
For anyone who’s experienced the lows,
or the highs.
For those who dance in front of the mirror,
or prefer to stay out of the light.
I am S10.
And I am performing on behalf of the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest.

You can watch the video below:

Who is S10?

S10, 21 years old, is currently one of the leading alt-pop and rap artists in The Netherlands. She signed her first record deal with Noah’s Ark label at the age of 17. Subsequently, she released her debut album named “Snowsniper” in 2019, leading her to winning an “Edison Award”, the most prestigious Dutch award.

A second album release named “Vlinders” followed, the year after, in 2020 and also a sold-out tour and multiple chart-topping singles.

S10 shares with her fans her most personal stories by spoken word, rapping and singing. For her, it is important that personal feelings and stories are conveyed to the public in her mother tongue. That means that she will sing in Dutch, as also announced by the Dutch broadcaster.

She has collaborations with some of the biggest names in The Netherlands, reaching millions of streams on all major music streaming platforms and earning fabulous reviews, from music critics.

S10 said of her selection:

Music is everything to me. I hope my music can bring something to other people’s lives, simply because it has done so much for me. Which is why I could almost explode with joy at the idea that I’ll be taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest this year. In front of such a massive audience, being able to do something that’s such an honour while representing the Netherlands… I think it’s absolutely wonderful.

Eric van Stade, general manager of AVROTROS, added on behalf of the selection comeetee:

S10’s song displays guts and authenticity. While normally we don’t reveal anything at this stage beyond the artist’s name, this time I dare to make an exception. S10 remains true to herself and her unique style. This means that, having selected English-language entries for the last 11 years, we’re now sending a Dutch song to the Eurovision Song Contest. We’re sticking our necks out with this choice, which the selection committee is behind unanimously. It promises to be another very special edition for the Netherlands.

More details will be revealed soon.

Below, you can find some of her already released songs:
