Wouter is Renee’s brother. These brother and sister hardly ever argue. That’s because they enjoy what they do so much. Wouter is, so to speak, the manager and record boss. He is good at organizing, coming up with things and recording music. Wouter has a beautiful studio where thousands of albums have been recorded. So many that he has lost count. My favorite character: JazzCat Louis, because he swings so much and we always leave the studio cheerfully!
Have we met before?
Quite possibly, yes! With 10+ million streams per year, we are widely listened to via Spotify and other streaming platforms. Good for 162,000 cheerful listening hours for the smallest ears. You can also find us on YouTube!
Digitally, we travel all over the world, with quality kids content in 18 languages, good for 300+ million streams! With over 75 professional musicians, writers, actors and makers, we have already created over 5,000 music and stories albums. Pretty proud of that.
Mission & vision
Our mission is clear: to conquer all children’s hearts with the love for music. Because it makes all the difference to the smallest ears and hearts. That’s why we take children’s music very seriously.
For almost 10 years, we have been building a world full of real music and stories for all children every day. The world of Loulou & Lou.
In 2028, Loulou & Lou will enchant young hearts worldwide with music, stories and visuals in 30 languages. The ultimate goal: inspire boundless creativity in children, reach the world and be the place for quality children’s content for generations.
milestones
meet the team
Alexia
Office Maestro Assistant, French by origin, a world citizen in many different countries, working hard on her Dutch, lover of children, arts, crafts and yes… Music, of course.
Anneke
Our design guru! She helps create all of our social posts and more visual content. Do you see Loulou & Lou or one of their musical friends passing by while you’re scrolling? There’s a good chance that Anneke has magically brought them there.
Sophie
Sophie is the sweetest of the bunch. But she also has a super cool side! She plays bass guitar and has toured with many artists. She studied at the Rock Academy and has a very beautiful voice that you have probably heard before. She also has a child with Wouter, for whom she sings and makes songs a lot. He can talk now and soon he can sing along. My favorite character: Loustock, because I’m secretly a hippie.
Olaf
In house producer and music wizard in our studios!
Ilona
First team member, came on board with her sharp pen and creative spirit. Creator and writer of the Loulou & Lou audio stories, and brain behind projects and texts. Favorite character: Guru Woof, because she is also very zennnn and a yoga teacher herself!
Renee
Renee is a designer. She knows exactly which style goes with which character. She also works closely with the illustrator and ensures that all the puzzle pieces fit together beautifully. She completed the Art Academy in Maastricht. And did you know that Renee’s daughter is called Loulou? Strange how could that be… My favorite character: Guruwoof, because it calms me down!
Kirsten
Our one and only Office Maestro. Former music teacher, plays in a soul & disco band in her spare time and master planner of the studio and everything made by our makers. The oil in our machine. Favorite artist: Jazz Cat Louis, because… “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing!”
Wouter
Nikola
Doing-a-bit-of-everything!
Emerson
Emerson is our illustrator. He brings all our characters to life. He is driven and enthusiastic… as you can see in the images he creates! If you look closely, he always adds little stories/details to the images that make them a little more recognizable. A pattern here, a crazy hairstyle there… And it all fits the character. And pssssst… He’s color blind! That’s why he has Renee, who helps him with this. Don’t tell anyone. And favorite album: Loulou & Lou Summer special, Emerson is not a dancer but his feet don’t stop on this music!
Lotte
Story creator!
Pim
Animator 🙂
all the others!
Let’s not forget the dozens of musicians and makers, in all languages, who collaborate with us.
