Contagious Summer Record is a little trip for Hoogkamer, who is actually basically rendition of the songs of life. But in this song, the 23-year-old from Leiden raps quite a bit. The song was created two years ago during a writing camp with Lange Frans, among others. It was a very hot period, so at one point people cried that they felt like they were going for a swim. To which the popular singer immediately replied: “Yes in Bacardi Lemon.” A big hit, as it turns out.
This isn’t the first time this 23-year-old has gone viral from Leiden. A year ago, the Dutchman was already in the spotlight. Then a video of a young man with a golden throat was shared on a Spanish beach. This is Hoogkamer, who usually sings only in Dutch, with his “Unchained Melody”. The photos have since been viewed more than 61 million times on Facebook and have earned him fans all over the world.
