Singer Roxy Dekker has been awarded the Popprijs 2024. The 20-year-old artist received the accolade at the Eurosonic Noorderslag festival in Groningen.
According to the jury, she had the most significant influence on Dutch pop music last year. Dekker gained rapid popularity through TikTok and Instagram.
The jury noted her ability to capture the zeitgeist with sharp, humorous lyrics full of self-mockery about her own generation in self-written songs. Her single “Sugardaddy” was the most streamed track of 2024.
Despite having released only eight songs and performed a handful of shows, the jury acknowledged her remarkable success. The award includes a €10,000 prize.
Last year, Joost Klein won the annual pop award.
