Humming Chiefs bring fresh, acoustic interpretations to famous pop songs from the last 50 years. Lisa Kézér (vocals/guitar) and Jaap Berends (guitar/bass/vocals) share a close friendship and have performed countless concerts together. Their strong musical bond ensures every song reaches its highest potential.

With beautiful vocals and vibrant energy, Humming Chiefs create a warm, inviting atmosphere for any event. They’re happy to take song requests from their extensive musical database, and their dynamic duets showcase their seamless harmony.

Both Jaap and Lisa graduated from the Arnhem conservatory in the Netherlands. Jaap furthered his studies in Los Angeles and currently performs with the Stephan-Max-Wirth ensemble. Lisa has toured internationally, sung backing vocals for Johnny Logan, and performed in theaters and on cruise ships.

In April 2019, Humming Chiefs released their album Hide and Seek, featuring original songs that highlight their unique style and musical talents.
