Pommelien Thijs, yeah, she’s basically one of Belgium’s hottest double-threats right now. She kicked off her rise to fame with the whole #LikeMe phenomenon—if you were anywhere near a TV in Flanders between 2019 and 2021, you probably heard her as Caroline “Caro” Timmers singing her heart out on that show. That series? Massive with the younger crowd, and the catchy songs from #LikeMe just bulldozed their way onto the Ultratop charts. People actually bought physical albums again, that’s how wild it got. After the show wrapped, Pommelien didn’t exactly fade into the background. She dropped the last name, went with just Pommelien, and dove into her solo music career. Her debut album “Goudvis” landed in 2022 and, well, critics ate it up. The vibe? A slick blend of pop, R&B, and a bit of electronic groove, all sung in Dutch. Not your usual formula, but it works—big time. Singles like “Nu wij niet meer praten” (that one’s a duet with Metejoor, if you care about collabs), “Ongewoon,” and “Erop of eronder” have all smashed it on the charts. She isn’t just racking up plays and streams, either. Pommelien’s bagged a handful of Music Industry Awards (MIAs) in Belgium, and honestly, it feels like she’s just getting started. Critics and fans both are all about her unique voice and that super personal songwriting. Whether she’s belting it out on stage or acting on screen, she’s got that something extra that makes you pay attention.
movies triviannBack in 2012 and 2013, she totally stole the spotlight as the lead in Annie—yeah, that Annie—at the Stadsschouwburg in Antwerp and then over at the Capitole in Ghent. Imagine belting out “Tomorrow” night after night in those beautiful old theaters, lights blazing, audience packed. Not everyone gets that kind of gig, let alone nails it. She wasn’t just any orphan on stage—she brought so much grit and charm, people still talk about it. Local critics? They couldn’t stop raving. Kids dragged their parents, parents dragged their friends, and suddenly Annie fever was everywhere. It’s one thing to land a lead in a school play, but to headline in two major Belgian cities? That’s leveling up. The show ran for months, and every single show? Sold out. She basically owned the stage, and honestly, that’s where her reputation for powerhouse performances really kicked off.
