Mr. Probz is a Dutch R&B and hip-hop artist with several hits outside his homeland. Born Dennis Princewell Stehr, Probz came to hip-hop via graffiti culture. The combination of the two interests landed him a steady stream of indie singles and collaborative tracks took him to 2010. That year he won the BNN/State Award for Best New Artist, a rare feat for an unsigned artist. He then signed his own label, Left Lane, to Traumashop/Republic and in 2013 released his debut album, The Treatment. That year, he was also featured on a Top 10 Dutch hit "Sukkel Voor de Liefde," by the Opposites. In 2014, Probz had a worldwide hit with "Waves," which reached number one in many countries thanks to a Robin Schulz remix. The success prompted high-profile collaborations with the likes of EDM producers Afrojack and David Guetta, and another hit single, "Nothing Really Matters," was out by the end of the year. Probz' Dutch chart success continued in 2015 with a feature on Armin van Buuren's hit single "Another You" and his own 2016 single, "Fine Ass Mess." Two more solo singles, "Til You're Loved" and "Tears Gone Bad," arrived in 2017 as well as "Gone" with featured rapper Anderson .Paak. He returned in early 2018 with the low-key "Space for Two" and "Praying to a God," the latter of which was a cover version of a track originally done by Norwegian duo Nico & Vinz. ~ David Jeffries
