Jelske Wilmer - Musical intermezzos

Musical intermezzos at TEDxVenlo 2019 are provided by singer-songwriter Jelske Wilmer.

In 2011, her debut album Breeze was released. This earned her a guest appearance on Radio 3FM as well as supporting act appearances with renowned artists such as Jan Akkerman and Janne Schra. In 2014 and 2015, during the Venlo Heartbeat project, Jelske played two shows in the Domani and the Maaspoort theaters in Venlo together with Mike Roelofs and Baer Traa. This project took them all way outside of their comfort zones, playing both self-composed work and covers on a variety of new instruments.
In September 2017, Jelske left the Netherlands and departed on a journey to write new songs and return to her musical basics. That resulted in seven songs, pure, personal and vulnerable, featuring only the guitar and her voice, that can be heard on her new album On My Way.
