Radboud Miedema (born October 10, 1979) is a Dutch songwriter, producer and Creative Manager at music publisher Strengholt Music Group.[1] He is best known for co-writing and co-producing the 2015 European hit single "Reality" by Lost Frequencies and Janieck Devy.[2]

Career

Radboud Miedema started writing songs at age 16 the moment he bought his first guitar. After a few stints as lead singer / guitarist in a few local rock bands Radboud began writing acoustic pop tracks and teamed up with his sister Narda Miedema under the name Somesay. With Somesay things started moving at a fast pace. Producer Jacques Sperwer invited the duo to his studio ‘The Shack’ to record their EP ‘On The Road’ which led to a number of record dealoffers. Both still at high school, Radboud and Narda decided to put their music plans on hold to allow them to finish their education.

After Radboud completed his School of Audio Engineering degree he put together his own recording studio and started Roseville Productions. Radboud Miedema produced for various inter (national) artists and wrote his own material with global releases through various projects. Late 2005 Somesay reformed to work on their debut album One of a Kind that was released under their own record label Roseville Productions late 2006. The duo signed a publishing deal with Strengholt Music Publishing. Their title track ‘One of a Kind’ topped the music charts of the Dutch social network called Hyves in 2007 and Somesay was discovered by major record label EMI.

By the end of 2007 Somesay had supported artists like Sean Lennon, Silkstone, a Balladeer and Wouter Hamel and had signed a record deal with EMI. With producer Holger Schwedt the duo started working on their second album In Bloom that was released late 2010. Both singles ‘Unstoppable’ and ‘Gonna Be’ got blasting airplay on Dutch national radio and TV and the duo toured the country hitting clubs and various festivals.

Radboud Miedema co-wrote and co-produced ‘Reality’ by Lost Frequencies and Janieck Devy in 2015, which became a #1 single in the Singles Charts in over ten countries and ruled the European airplay charts for 9 consecutive weeks. The Dutchman, also active as the Creative Manager of Strengholt Music Group, received two Buma Awards for this song. [3]
