Moto stokes the fire with raw boom bap in both Dutch and Frisian
Alexander Moto is a storyteller with disarming honesty. Dreamy yet purposeful, his words dance through the cosmos. The Frisian rapper and keyboardist explores matters of the soul through lyrical, reflective hip-hop that doesn’t hold anything back.
His live show ranges from raw boom bap to intimate, theatrical songs—performed in both Dutch and Frisian. From his base in Leeuwarden, he has already released the album Radiostilte op Iselmar (2020), several EPs, and the mixtape rups(2024). In 2025, Moto continues to fuel the fire with multiple projects, a second album on the way, and a spot in the heart of the Oerol Festival!
This show is part of the Explore the North Hub. From June 13 to 22, Explore the North will present work by talents connected to its production house at various locations across the island. Explore the North is a production house and festival based at Podium Explore in Leeuwarden.
