ISAAC ROUX
Belgisch talent dat naar Vosselaar komt om zijn nieuwe album voor te stellen. SOLO komt hij zijn nieuwe nummers brengen. In een beperkt aantal intieme settings vooraleer hij terug gaat optreden in de grotere club- en festivalpodia opzoekt. Uiteraard zullen ook de songs van de debuutplaat niet ontbreken.
SHORT FORM
Belgian indie folk artist Isaac Roux, a graduate of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), crafts a distinctive blend of indie folk and alternative rock that draws comparisons to Ben Howard, Bear's Den and Bon Iver. He won the public price at Humo's Rock Rally in 2022, his debut single "White Rose" won De Nieuwe Lichting of Studio Brussel in 2023, leading to lots of Spotify and radio support, a European club tour and major festival slots including Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop, Reeperbahn & Eurosonic in 2024 & 2025. New music is coming up in 2026.
LONG FORM
Meet Isaac Roux, nom de plume of Belgian singer-songwriter Louis De Roo. After graduating from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA), signing a record deal, scoring several hit singles and with a sensational debut album coming up, Roux is more than ready for his big breakthrough.
If LIPA doesn't ring a bell, then 'Paul McCartney's music academy' certainly will. In 2015 De Roo was admitted to study there for four years, even having the chance to work on some songs with Sir Paul himself. It certainly perfected his English, which he impeccably uses to put his emotions and soul into songs, wrapped in guitars that build up at the right moment. Think: Bon Iver, Ben Howard, Perfume Genius and My Morning Jacket.
Take debut single 'White Rose', heavenly indie folk with just the right amount of edge, a full sound, and the warm glow of De Roo's characteristic voice. It brought him victory in 'De Nieuwe Lichting' ('The New Class'), a steppingstone to a thriving career. Spotify was quick to provide full support, and radio stations in Belgium and The Netherlands were head over heels. Follow-up singles 'Colours' and 'Autumn Love' followed suit and opened doors in Germany (radioeins) and Austria (FM4), earning Roux a live session on German national radio station Deutschlandfunk Kultur.
His combination of warm indie folk and alternative rock works even better on stage, never failing to leave a crowd open-mouthed. With all that in mind, every normal person would start to swoon, but not Louis De Roo. With the experience he already has and his feet firmly on the ground, he played at the two main Belgian summer festivals Rock Werchter and Pukkelpop in 2024 and presented his debut album at AB (Brussels), Paradiso (Amsterdam) and Privatclub (Berlin). The future is looking bright for this new indie kid on the block as he's working on new music, set for release in 2026.
