Ilse Huizinga (15 October 1966) is a Dutch jazz singer. She performs throughout Europe.
She lived in Australia for a year and attended the University of Amsterdam, where she received a degree in public administration. From 1993 to 1996 she studied music at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam [1] and took master classes with Dianne Reeves and Margriet Eshuis.
Her informal debut was at Ronnie Scott's, and she has performed at Concertgebouw and Amsterdam's Bijlmerbajes prison. She has toured in Spain, Turkey, Switzerland and France, and regularly performs in the United Kingdom. A winner of the Schiedam Jazz Award, she has represented the Netherlands at the international jazz festival in Vienne, France. In 2011 Huizinga formed Vocal Jazz Trip, a tour operator based in Amsterdam that hosts vocal jazz master classes and jazz themed city breaks in Paris, Berlin, Rome, New York City, Prague, and London. She was invited to several concerts in China and performed with the Orchestra de Jazz do Algarve in Portugal.
KLM selected Huizinga's debut album Out of a Dream for its in-flight entertainment program. In 2001 Huizinga recorded an album devoted to the songs of Richard Rodgers entitled The Sweetest Sounds , which was voted Album of the Week on Dutch radio and is played on specialist jazz radio stations across Europe. Her album Here's to Maya Angelou is a celebration of the poetry of Maya Angelou, set to music by her husband Erik van der Luijt and received rave reviews from the international press.
Huizinga's most frequent collaboration is with her husband, the pianist, composer, and arranger Erik van der Luijt. Other collaborations include double bass player Sven Schuster, percussionist Frits Landesbergen, double bass player Ruud Jacobs, and guitarist Ed Verhoeff.
She teaches online courses through the Jazz Singers Academy.

The Ex is an underground band from the Netherlands, started in 1979 at the height of the original punk explosion as a Dutch punk band. The Ex originated from the squatting movement in Amsterdam and Wormer, and was inspired by bands like The Fall and The Mekons. Although initially known as an anarcho-punk band associated with the Dutch post-punk ultra scene, over the decades The Ex's sound has gradually developed into its current form of highly intricate, experimental punk/post-punk/no wave-inspired work. This sound includes a combination of diverse genres and styles, such as noise, folk, world music, free jazz, and crossovers between these genres. Other examples of branching out stylistically include the improvised double album Instant and a release under the moniker Ex Orkest, a 20 piece big band assembled for performances at Holland Festival. "One reason we are hard to describe is that we never had an education at music school, and in that sense we are not influenced by any traditional playing," explained Katherina Bornefeld, drummer for The Ex since 1984. The Ex's lyrics consist of straightforward statements about politics and abuses in society. The band enjoys international acclaim for this socially critical message, as well as for the energetic, rhythmic, atonal guitar playing, and for the furious vocals of singer G.W. Sok, who was replaced in recent years by Arnold de Boer of Zea. The Ex have released over 20 full-length albums.
