Pink Oculus (NL)

Esperanza Denswil’s alter ego Pink Oculus was born from a single moment of clarity. A vision of complete transparency, pushing her in the right direction of propagating self-love. The Dutch-Surinamese vocalist, producer, and composer rose to quick acclaim with her unique blend of electro, hip-hop, soul, and funk, with a futuristic take, making Pink Oculus a force to be reckoned with—on and off the stage, in sound and colour.
 Through her music and appearance, Pink Oculus radiates powerful feminine energy that is matched by few.
