About Ariel Kanary Amsterdam (AKA)

Ariel Kanary Amsterdam (AKA) is the musical alias of Arold Jansen, whose lifelong passion for music has always run parallel to his professional career. Moving effortlessly between pop, dance, jazz, and funk, AKA embodies a composer and independent label in one. He is bass player in the band Recovered. During his student years, he chose a four-string and became a 'bassic' fixture in the music scenes of Haarlem, Leiden, Zwolle, and Amsterdam, composing countless tracks on a beloved Fostex 4-track recorder—his first step into songwriting. In 2024, a dusty cassette tape unearthed a long-lost track from 2009. Struck by its analog warmth, he was inspired to digitize and rework his old catalog. The result: a series of releases that pay homage to the sounds of his youth —soulful, groovy, and pop-infused. The debut single True Love marks the beginning of this new chapter. Enjoy!
