This platform has grown substantially, reaching over 5.77 million subscribers by August 2022. Her career progressed with notable achievements in 2019, including becoming the first Dutch winner of MTV’s Push Award.

Her visibility expanded through features in a song by Boyce Avenue, participation in their European tour, and appearances on Dutch television programs such as “Beste Zangers,” the web series “Jachtseason” of StukTV, and the game show “I Can See Your Voice.”
In 2020, Top40 NL recognized Heesters as the most successful Dutch artist of the year. This was followed by her winning the MTV EMA’s Best Dutch Act in November of the same year. Heesters has also released numerous original singles and albums, consistently collaborating with other artists.
