Son Mieux is a Dutch indie pop group from The Hague headed by Camiel Meiresonne.
Initially, Son Mieux was started as a solo project of Camiel Meiresonne in 2015, who then played keyboard for indie rock band Soul Sister Dance Revolution and sang for garage rock band All Missing Pieces . [1] Initially, he wanted to perform as a singer-songwriter and in that capacity, he recorded the song "Easy". Shortly after, he was invited by the reggae band Splendid to provide support for their upcoming tour. However, during preparations, he decided that he "didn't want to be just another singer-songwriter with a guitar and that [he] wanted to incorporate electronics into [his] music." [2] During Splendid's tour, he started playing together with Timo Prins and Chayenne van der Kooij, which would later be expanded with addition of Wrister Meiresonne, with whom he previously played in All Missing Pieces. [2] In 2015, after their first single "Easy", the band was named 3FM Serious Talent , [3] and on 15 October that year, they made their television debut at De Wereld Draait Door. [4]
Wrister left the band in 2018 and was succeeded by Thijs van Teijlingen. The formation was then expanded with the addition of Maud Akkermans and multi-instrumentalist Quinten Meiresonne, who played bass for bands such as The Consolers, All Missing Pieces, and Taymir . With this line-up, work continued on the debut album, which was released on 8 February 2019, under the title Faire de Son Mieux. The presentation of this album took place on the release date in a sold-out Paard van Troje in The Hague. The album entered the Album Top 100 after one week at position 16. [5]
At the beginning of 2021, their latest hit "1992" became TopSong on NPO Radio 2 in week 3, and in week 5 Megahit on NPO 3FM. On 27 April 2021 the band released the single "Drive". In week 20, "Drive" also became Megahit on NPO 3FM. On 28 July 2021 the band released the follow-up to "Drive", titled "Can't Get Enough". This single was voted NPO Radio 2 TopSong in week 31. During this period, the band was also the resident band for Studio Tokio, the NOS evening program on NPO 1 around the Olympic Games, for six days. Every day Son Mieux played songs that were interspersed live with the highlights of the Olympic day.
