Early life

Roxy Dekker was born on 12 January 2005 [1] in Amsterdam, North Holland.

Career

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 "Heimewee" 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 7 June, Dekker released another new single in collaboration with Bankzitters dubbed "Huisfeestje". On 12 July, Dekker then released another single, this time with Ronnie Flex, entitled Gaan we weg?. On 27 July, this new single also reached number 1, which was her second number 1 hit in the Dutch Top 40. Her next single was "Industry Plant", in which she responded to hateful reactions from "fans". This also peaked at number 1 in the Single Top 100. In 2025, the single "Ga dan!" followed, which Dekker also teased for a while before its release. [12] With the latter song, Dekker scored her fifth number 1 hit, in a row, in the Single Top 100. [13]

Personal life

On 3 May 2024, Dekker announced that she is in a relationship with Koen van Heest, a member of the Bankzitters. [14] [15]
