Diggy Dex returns to Haarlem on Friday, November 13, with the theatre show 'De Zoektocht Naar Geluk' (The Search for Happiness). Together with his regular guitarist René van Mierlo, the rapper, singer, and songwriter seeks answers to 'the big and small questions of life' at the PHIL.

In his new theatre show, Diggy Dex takes the audience on his personal journey of discovery. Dex: “Where exactly does happiness lie? In love? In parenthood? In success? In friendship? In music? In connection? I have been trying to find the words for that for years. From the first lyrics I wrote as a teenager, right through to songs like 'Treur Niet (Ode Aan Het Leven)', 'La Vie Est Belle', and 'De Zon Op': all my songs are a quest for meaning and happiness. In this tour, there is even more room for the story behind the songs. I am really looking forward to that.”

Diggy Dex, aka Koen Jansen, made his debut in the music industry as a hip-hop artist in 2006. He has always remained true to the hip-hop genre, but simultaneously explored other musical paths. In 2016, he released his platinum album 'Golven', followed by 'Karavaan', 'Carrousel', and 'Tempo Giusto'. In 2020, he participated in the TV program Beste Zangers, he is part of the successful group The Streamers, and is a regular guest at Vrienden van Amstel Live. This year, together with Italian artist Adriana, Diggy Dex created the official Team NL anthem for the Winter Olympics in Milan: 'Omhoog (Come Va)'.
