Snollebollekes singer Rob Kemps: ‘People think I’m simple’ | NOW

Rob Kemps enjoys the positive response he is getting thanks to his participation in The smartest person. The Snollebollekes singer notices that people often think that he is not very intelligent and likes that that perspective is now changing.

“I enjoy that more than I expected. I am used to something, but it often comes from the corner of the party world. Now people like me for a completely different thing. I saw reactions such as ‘he is sympathetic’. or ‘he secretly knows quite a lot’ “, the singer said in conversation with AD.

Because of his hits and success with Snollebollekes, Kemps (35) always takes into account that people do not see him as he really is. According to the singer, this is part of the party music genre. “Those lyrics don’t have a deeper bottom layer. They are meant for the party tent, so as not to think about your problems. That makes people think that I must be simple and don’t know much. On the other hand, I do participate. in large and small halls. “

According to Kemps, it’s really not that everyone thinks they’re not that intelligent. “Some people also realize that you have to be somewhat smart about that, but it doesn’t annoy me. People just put others in a box, I don’t worry about that. Then you better prove the opposite.”

His role at Snollebollekes is exactly that: a character he assumes. “Normally I am praised for something that I play a little bit, now I get compliments about who I am. And I dare to say that I am myself on television. I really like that.”
