Amsterdam rapper announces album and returns with new energy
Dio, born in Amsterdam, made his breakthrough at the age of 19 with an iconic feature on the hit Dom, Lomp & Famous by The Opposites. Soon after, his debut album Rock & Roll was released, featuring hits like Aye and Tijdmachine. Prestigious awards, sold-out headline shows, two albums, and multiple EPs followed. Dio set himself apart by blending hip-hop with various genres and his relentless drive to reinvent himself with every project.
In 2025, Dio makes his long-awaited return with his first album in ten years. The project is a coming-of-age story, inspired by a journey that led him back to his roots, both personally and musically. More mature and honest than ever, yet infused with the same bravado and energy that maintain his reputation as one of the best live performers in the country.
