Arp Frique
Arp Frique, also known as Niels Nieuborg, is a musician, DJ, and producer from Rotterdam, with a presence in Amsterdam. Initially believing he lacked musical inclination, he later discovered his father had been a singer. A pivotal moment in his musical journey occurred upon hearing Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," after which his father provided him with his first instruments. Following a six-year medical study and a brief period working as a doctor, as well as at a Caribbean restaurant in Rotterdam, Arp Frique shifted his focus to a musical career, drawing inspiration from the multicultural music scenes of Surinam, Cape Verde, Curaçao, Morocco, and India. He also established his own restaurant, Toko 94.
