Roxy Dekker (born 12 January 2005) is a Dutch singer, songwriter and TikToker.
Roxy Dekker was born on 12 January 2005 [1] in Amsterdam, North Holland.
Dekker participated in the Junior Songfestival in 2019, the Dutch national final for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019, where she was part of the group 6TIMES with the song "End of Time". The group finished runners-up. [2]
In 2021, Dekker launched her solo career. She sings covers of songs on TikTok, among others. Partly due to this platform, she has already managed to achieve quite a few streams with her singles "Himewee" and "Spijt".
In 2023, Dekker came up with a concept on TikTok where her followers could submit four words under her videos. When a follower left the words 'colours', 'sun', 'Ibiza' and 'mirror', Dekker decided to turn this into a song. [3] Ultimately, the song "Anne-Fleur vakantie" emerged from this. It didn't take long for this song to become popular on the TikTok platform, making it a hit; the single reached 5th place in the Top 50 and managed to reach the Tipparade. In November 2023, Dekker released the single Satisfyer. This single, whose name is a nod to the sex toy of the same name, [4] more than equaled the success of Anne-Fleur vakantie. It even reached ninth place on the Dutch Top 40. [5] [6] On 21 December 2023, Dekker was a guest on 3FM Serious Request. [7]
At the Edisons 2024, on 4 March 2024, Dekker's breakthrough was rewarded with her first Edison Award. She won the prize in the category for best newcomer. [8] On 21 March, she was named 3FM Talent during the 3FM Awards. [9] On 4 April 2024, Dekker released the single "Sugardaddy". This single was teased on TikTok for over a month and quickly went viral there. [10] On 12 April, "Sugardaddy" managed to enter at number one on the Dutch Top 40, thus giving Dekker her first number-one hit. [11]
On 3 May 2024, Dekker announced that she is in a relationship with Koen van Heest, a member of the Bankzitters. [12] [13]
