Netflix, Google, CHANEL, H&M x Mugler, Quote 500, Ferrari Munsterhuis, Pandora, Schaap & Citroen Jewelers / TAG Heuer and The Allies (Talpa TV / SBS6), Just Eat Takeaway.com are a few examples of the clients I have had the opportunity to play for as a DJ.
10+ years DJ - 1000+ bookings - BA in Sound Design
Providing excellent quality and service to every client is my highest priority. To accomplish this, I take on average up to two carefully selected bookings per week (1 event booking and 1 resident booking)
In my 13+ years as a DJ, I have never had to cancel a booking. This consistency provides my clients with confidence when planning their most important events.
Please read my full text carefully before contacting me. I am Dutch and also speak English. Showbird generates the English translation, which is somewhat flawed.
DJ'ing is my full-time profession. Currently (2026) I am resident DJ at leading venues in Amsterdam, including LuminAir (DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal) and MR. PORTER (W Amsterdam) and House of Noa
EDUCATION
I graduated in Sound Design and Composing from the Utrecht School of the Arts, a four-year full-time program.

PRICE
This Showbird website unfortunately does not provide a complete overview of my fees. Therefore you will find below an explanation of my price structure, so you can calculate an indicative price yourself. Of course you can request a quote without any obligation!
All prices mentioned are excluding 9% VAT, and include the mediation fee between you and me, which Showbird passes on to me, so I do not receive the full amount you pay to Showbird.
SHOWBIRD ASKS YOU TO PAY THE FULL PRICE IN ADVANCE. DO YOU NOT WISH THIS AND PREFER MORE FLEXIBILITY IN COMMUNICATION AND PAYMENT? THEN I ENCOURAGE YOU TO BOOK ME THROUGH MY OWN WEBSITE INSTEAD OF CONTACTING ME THROUGH THIS PLATFORM.
I ALWAYS RESPOND TO NEW REQUESTS WITH PRIORITY. IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM ME WITHIN 12 HOURS, THEN SOMETHING PROBABLY WENT WRONG ON THE SHOWBIRD WEBSITE (WHICH UNFORTUNATELY HAPPENS MORE OFTEN). ALSO IN THAT CASE I KINDLY ASK YOU TO CONTACT ME THROUGH MY OWN WEBSITE.
My price usually consists of one to three components:
- DJ-fee: from €550
- Travel expenses and travel time outside Amsterdam
- If necessary, optional, installation of my own DJ-controller. Speakers can be provided by an external party.

3. DJ CONTROLLER (IN AMSTERDAM and sometimes outside Amsterdam)

I hereby ask you to organize the following:
- A DJ Booth or sturdy table on which I can place my equipment
- An electrical outlet within 1.5 meters of the DJ Booth.
The price Showbird shows for the technical part is only an indication for events in Amsterdam and depends on your specific requirements. For very small events with only a limited number of people, less technology is needed, which may result in a lower price. For locations outside Amsterdam, additional costs will apply.
SPEAKERS:
The installation of speakers in Amsterdam can be provided by an outside company that I can put you in touch with, and you can organize everything yourself. However, should you wish me to coordinate it for you, this is possible for an additional fee. Outside Amsterdam I can sometimes put you in contact with a speaker rental company

, Erwin
We had booked Dj Ivy van de Voost for our garden party. What a great addition she was to our party. Highly recommended for everyone's party. Ivy you are a topper.
, DJ Eminence
DJ Ivy performed for our corporate event at the W Rooftop Amsterdam. In total it was a 6.5hr set which DJ Ivy covered 3.5 hrs . She is an energetic DJ who was able to adapt to music requests(wide ranging) and mix perfectly throughout the night. She operated the equipment with professionalism and was respectful to the clients requests (House, Dance, Spanish & Commercial). An effective, reliable, energetic and adaptable DJ. Exactly what you need for an important event. I am a seasoned DJ and very critical of DJ performances but pleased to say I will be booking her again. Well done, and thank you!
