Reinel Bakole, a multidisciplinary artist raised in a Belgian art-loving family, diverged from her musically inclined siblings to passionately pursue dance. At 20, her interest intensified alongside a budding love for music. Studying at Amsterdam's University of Arts, she crafted her debut EP 'A Gal on the Moon,' refining her skills. Gaining recognition back in Belgium, she shared the stage with Ichon at Fifty Sessions, her art flourishing through collaborative inspiration drawn from nature and introspection. In her latest EP, 'Closer To Truth' (2021), Reinel engaged with accomplished producers and musicians such as ShunGu, Chris Ferreira, and Samuel van Binsbergen. 

These collaborations enriched her performances and various projects, echoing her artistic ethos of collaboration. A transformative journey to Congo in 2022 exposed her to the vibrant young artistic scene, profoundly influencing 'Eye Land' her subsequent release, resonated with the essence of the Democratic Republic of Congo, her homeland. 

After a successful two-year touring journey, gracing renowned stages like Botanique, Horst, Bozar, Dour Festival and more recently Couleur Café, Reinel Bakole is in the midst of preparing her debut album, set to release in 2024. The album promises to be a tribute to rhythm, a return to lyrical and dreamy origins, a gentle echo reflecting her melancholic and committed side. Her latest single ‘Silver armour’ teases with style and intention, heralding the arrival of her album that is poised to be powerful, explosive and liberating.
