Gijs Kohlen on SoundBetter

Let's build YOUR future together! Worked with all the Major record labels in the music industry. Armada Music, Warner Music Group and Sony Music to name a few. Peaked #22 in Denmark with 'Young & Reckless' and #26 in Finland with 'Dive' on Spotify. Recently started a Branding Company, I can design the branding of your release as well.

Hey you!

My name is Gijs Kohlen and i am half of the Armada & Sony Music signed duo KRYGA. In total we reached already 8.000.000+ streams on Spotify. With records like 'Dive' (1.500.000+) and 'Young & Reckless' (4.000.000+) are we on the right way to achieve our goals.

At the moment I am running a design company, where I provide video's, photo's & graphic design for some company's in The Netherlands. Besides that I am also working with several artists for their branding. I did the whole branding of KRYGA of course, including artworks, logo's, etc.

If you need a new logo, music video, or something else, feel free to contact me.

I’m looking forward to work with you!

Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.

    Gijs did a really fast job with Mastering my song! He not only did the Master of my new release, he did the full branding (artwork, music video, coming soon posts) of my release as well! Absolutely fabulous. Definitely going to hit him up in the future.

    Gijs did an awesome job. I bought a bundle with Gijs, so he didn't only do a song production, but the artwork design for my song as well against a reduced price. Super fast and kind guy. Not only a great producer, also a great Graphic Designer.
