ABOUT JOOST
With gigs all around the globe, releases on the world’s biggest labels and collabs with the best DJ’s of the planet, Joost (as Billy The Kit) left his mark on the biggest clubs and festivals, travelled each day to another country and lived like a rockstar.
Then Joost had to, and chose to, work on himself. He faced his struggles and cleaned up the past, not knowing if he would ever return as an artist... but he came back stronger than ever!
Joost has multiple years of experience dealing with addiction, mental and behavioural disorders. With his skills to inspire and connect, he provides life changing strategies to reach a new life of self discovery.
Joost works as an Addiction Experience Expert, certified coach, trustee, speaker, consultant, workshop leader and mentor. He’ll guide you through a journey using his experience, enabling you to create your talent and find your super power.
Billy The Kit is still getting booked at the largest festivals and clubs in the world and is a resident guest on Holland's most popular radio station Radio 538 and SLAM!
Wanting to start a movement, Joost started his own label ‘Rise Recordings’ and ‘Rise Publishing’ in collaboration with ADA music and Warner Music.
His release “I Got You” is a personal story about sharing struggles, friendship and supporting each other, especially in challenging times. The track is chosen to be the anthem in Yes We Can Clinics where Joost/Billy the kit gives workshops for the young fellows after finishing the Jung International coaching academy.
Rise Recordings is determined to make a difference from a social perspective; for every song that is released, the label will donate a percentage of its revenue to various charities of their choice.
“We RISE by lifting others.”
