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 and the possibility’s it gave my imagination to seek out different parts of myself.
Feeling restless as a kid I left my hometown at the age of sixteen to pursue my passion; music and the visual aspect of it.
What to say about the things I do? 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 authentic 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 Project, 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…
