Team — lil' Heaven Studio's

We believe that the personality and experience of engineers and producers is at least as important as the quality of the studio, equipment and instruments. That’s why we’re proud of our recording and mixing talents. Not only do they have a lot of musical and technical knowledge, but they have also gained a lot of experience during various musical collaborations with other producers and artists.

Kees played as a guitarist in various bands, but the studio attracted him the most. By founding and building Lil’Heaven Studios, he has fulfilled his dream. He combines a passion for recording and mixing with coaching musical talent.

With over 10 years of experience and a degree in Music Production, he combines his extensive band background with a passion for engineering, mixing, and songwriting. He brings a relaxed yet focused creative workflow to every session; structured yet flexible, making artists feel confident and inspired as they shape their tracks into impactful records. Known for his special love of electric guitar tones, he creates a collaborative space where performances feel powerful and ready for release.

Lars has a long background in live engineering. He trained at the School of Audio Engineering (SAE), followed by training at Sound Education Netherlands (SEN). Since 2018 he has focused mainly on studio work, which is his passion. Since then he has also developed himself as mastering engineer and is active at E-mastering in Arnhem. In addition, he has been teaching recording and mixing techniques for several years at various courses, including the SEN, Sound Academy Arnhem (SAA) and Rijn IJssel College.

After his training at the Amsterdam Theatre School & Cabaret Academy, he released two albums and several singles under the name Mereo. In addition, Rens is active as a musical director in theatre and works at Lil Heaven as a producer and mix engineer across a wide range of genres. Thanks to his broad background, he moves effortlessly between styles and enhances the unique identity of each production.

Raised in Spain and trained in music performance and production at Solent University in the UK, he combines international influences with a keen ear for music. Constantly surrounded by music, he discovered his passion for writing, recording, and supporting artists in refining their identity. Always optimistic and curious, Pim’s calm presence creates a safe space for experimentation, helping to bring honest, exciting visions to life.

Vincent is a youth coach, songwriter and producer. Like no other he guides young people in their musical and personal development through musical motivation and inspiration.

Alain has a huge passion for everything that has to do with music and equipment. He has a lot of knowledge and love for analog synthesizers, and is very skillful with various software. A chunk of positive energy for long sessions in the studio!

Our philosophy

Lil’Heaven is essentially a commercial studio but with a semi-philanthropic mindset. We strive to provide the widest possible range of services in the creative music sector. In addition to the commercial aspect, we find it equally important to offer young talent a safe place to develop their skills and art. We offer young talent the opportunity to record and release music for reduced fees or social currency deals. For example, by exchanging services with each other, it is also possible for starting musicians with a smaller budget to rent our professional studio and/or use our facilities and services.

We make fair agreements about intellectual property and any income. It is not our own interest that is the starting point, but that of the musician. Together we look for possibilities that match what musicians need as much as possible.

A team with a huge dose of knowledge and experience
