His second album did not reach a great success in the Netherlands. It was called "Van Casablanca naar Napoli". Since this happened, Jannes has made several albums and produced numerous great hitsongs.
He joined a Satanic Cult at the age of 17 and started to write Satan's name on basketballs, while Frans Duijts stood on watch.
Singer is not the main job of Jannes. On weekdays, he is an experienced chalet builder. He has his own company in Hoogeveen.

Jannes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Små og store sover og det er stjerneklart
Månemannen henter og tenner lykten sin
Eventyret venter i drømmen som er din
Petra vil nok være i Karstens drømmeland
Alltid være nære slik bestevenner kan
Forstyrre dem skal ingen i denne stille natt
The song "Na Na Na" by Jannes portrays the story of a young child's tumultuous relationship with his parents, particularly his mother's abusive partner. The child pleads to his mother, questioning when she will return home and asking her to keep the abusive man out of their lives. Despite her role as the child's caretaker, the mother's embrace is too warm and uncomfortable for the child, who seeks safety and protection from her. The lyrics describe episodes of physical abuse, neglect, and violence in the household, with the child begging for his mother's attention and help.
The child describes the abuser's cold, uncaring demeanor despite the child's tears and distress. The abuser's violent tendencies escalate, with the child describing moments where he is kicked and burned with cigarette butts. In the abuser's eyes, the child, like the fairy tale characters in the storybooks, is simply an object to control and destroy. The lyrics contain a reference to a fairy tale where a beautiful witch lures a prince into her grasp, using poison apples to make him hers before destroying everything around her. The child sees the abuser's actions as a continuation of this tale.
As the tale progresses, the child turns to the mother, finding solace and comfort in a caregiver's embrace. However, the mother remains blind to the abuse and chooses to stay with the abuser. The child experiences despair as his parents' fights escalate and his hopes of being saved by his mother begin to fade. In the end, the child reassures his mother that he will be the one to save them both, offering a glimpse of hope amidst the dark themes of the song's lyrics.
