Jeangu’s debut album High On You (2017) is more energetic than its predecessor. The record was nominated for the Edison Pop Award ‘Best Album’, and brings Jeangu and his band to major live slots at Lowlands Festival, Eurosonic and North Sea Jazz Festival. A homecoming show in Jeangu’s native Suriname followed, where he was received as a national hero. In Suriname his single High On You had held the no. 1 position in the music charts for seven weeks. Upon returning to The Netherlands, Jeangu personified the character of Judas in major TV production The Passion, viewed by 3.5 million people.
