about
Lena Hessels is a musician, songwriter and singer from The Netherlands. Born December 2000 at Wormer's 'Witte Villa', music was all around Lena. Her father, Terrie, is the legendary The Ex's guitarist. Her mother, Emma, is a violinist. Together, her parents run the adventurous Terp Records label, home to The Ex and their many, many projects. Musicians like Han Bennink, Sonic Youth, Konono No.1, Getatchew Mekuria and many others stayed at the White Villa regularly. Lena visited Ethiopia when she was three (and many times after) and almost literally grew up in the countless music endeavors of her folks. When Lena finished high school in the Summer of 2018 she was very determined to make a record straight away. She locked herself in the top room of the villa where she created a little studio. After three weeks of writing, practising, recording and recording over, her short début album, Billow (2018), was done. It won't be her last.
