MUSICThe bullet is in the church. After an intense search, Lasgo has a new singer. The choice fell on the Dutch Nikki Born (25). “She managed to convince with her dynamic stage presence and versatile voice,” says Peter Luts, the driving force behind the Belgian dance formation, enthusiastically.
The strong revival of Eurodance prompted Peter Luts to look for a new front woman for Lasgo in mid-2023. After several rounds of auditions, the Dutch Nikki Born managed to convince the DJ and producer. The singer has already written and released several of her own songs in the past and made a huge impression last season in the Dutch music program ‘The Talent Scouts’ on SBS6. “It was a tough search, but with Nikki we found the future face and sound of Lasgo. She has an impressive, versatile voice and a dynamic stage presence. In addition, she also adds a very nice energy with her charisma,” Luts is full of praise.
Nikki can immediately prepare to tour internationally with Lasgo. “It promises to be exciting times, because the tour starts very soon. We currently already have seventeen confirmed shows,” said Luts. In addition, new music will be released soon.

For fans of the Belgian dance formation, it will take some getting used to. Jelle Van Dael, who announced her solo career last year, will not return. But according to Luts, there is no argument: “We were no longer on the same wavelength in terms of ideas, but I sincerely wish her success with her solo career.”
For the new chapter of Lasgo, Luts once again joins forces with Belgian producer Jef Martens, better known by his stage name Basto. Jef produced, among others, the worldwide number 1 hit ‘Scream & Shout’ by Will.I.Am and Britney Spears.
