Robin Zijlstra | Auditioning for Idols was one of the best decisions Robin ever made. He actually made it to the liveshows.

Robin’s passion has always been music and performing on stage but through Idols he also got the chance to develop another talent, acting. Dutch drama like “Grijpstra en de Gier” and soap opera “Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden” are just two examples.
