Sebastiaan is in love with the piano trio format but is also praised when performing solo or as part of The Edison Duo with renowned jazz pianist Rob van Bavel (who just happens to be his dad).

Kirsi-Marja Harju
Born:
Kirsi-Marja “Kiki” Harju (1993) is a Finnish trumpet player, singer, bandleader and composer based in
Amsterdam. “I didn’t choose the trumpet, the trumpet chose me,” she recalls. “I wanted to play
everything else, particularly violin, but as a kid I made mistakes in the music school exam, I was so
nervous.” She was put into the wind department, given a pocket trumpet and soon found she could play
beautiful melodies. She also sang. “My friends said I was too loud but I loved it. I was in choirs and vocal
groups at school. Later I heard Chet Baker and realised I could combine the two.”
She has studied music both in Finland and in The Netherlands, and lastly she graduated from the jazz
department of Conservatorium van Amsterdam in 2019
