Hi my name is Lieke,

as a performer I go by the name of Loki. The name sends a little wink to the god of the Norse mythology, for Loki is the god that changes gender and shape.

I grew up in the east of the Netherlands (Twente), my mother would take me to the opera where I would watch her sing. I remember being fully immersed by this alternate reality we call a theatre. Feeling restless as a kid I left my hometown at the age of sixteen to pursue my passion.

I am a lot of things – a songwriter, ceramicist, writer, producer, creative director, performer, kite builder, curator, organizer, protector and overall dreamer. For me it derives from the same source. I often switch disciplines; practicing different crafts have led me to unique combinations and insights in the broadest sense of it.

Sometimes an idea materializes as an object, at other times it becomes a song, a collaboration or an immersive happening. I derive a childlike joy from changing the playground; a new creation must above all be a leap into the unknown for myself and ideally blur the boundarie between reality and fantasy –

 order and chaos.

I have a live show called Loki, and I travel around with my music and craft, doing shows, performances, workshops and recordings.

It is my passion. 

On that note… please enjoy my website:)

I hope to see you at a show someday, somewhere…
