PRODUCER · DJ · SONGWRITER

Laurentius is the stage name of Dutch producer Lars Beerda, based in Zwolle, Netherlands. Since 2014 he has built a tropical house and uplifting dance-pop catalog under the 'Smile More' vision — blending exotic instrumentation with catchy melodies for a sound supported by peers like Sam Feldt, Kygo, and Lost Frequencies. His work has surpassed 25 million streams, earned a Grammy nomination for Best Electronic Production (2019), and landed on Spotify Top 50 charts through releases on Sony Music and Universal Music. In 2025 he co-created 'Can You Hear Me,' the official anthem for WHO World Hearing Day with fellow Dutch artist KULI. Recent singles include 'What Goes Around, Comes Around' (March 2026) and 'First Call' (April 2026), keeping a steady release cadence while he also offers ghost-production services for other artists.
