# Snelle

Lars Sebastiaan Bos (born 3 October 1995), known professionally as Snelle, is a Dutch rapper and singer from Gorssel, Gelderland.
He is known for his Dutch number-one singles "Reünie", "Smoorverliefd", "17 miljoen mensen" and "Blijven slapen", which topped the charts between 2019 and 2021.

## Early life

Bos was born in Deventer. He grew up in Gorssel. Born with a cleft lip, he was bullied for his appearance.
Bos studied at the Herman Brood Academie. He adopted the stage name "Snelle" (meaning "fast" in Dutch), because he gets drunk quickly when consuming alcohol.

## Career

In 2019, Snelle saw a breakthrough. His singles "Scars" and "Plankgas" were certified Platinum. In September, "Reünie" reached number one on the Dutch Top 40. The song and its music video were about the bullying that Snelle faced in his childhood over his cleft lip, emphasising that he will come out stronger.
In January 2020, Snelle scored his second number-one hit with "Smoorverliefd". The song was developed in collaboration with Dutch insurance company Interpolis to warn youth about the dangers of texting while biking. His third came shortly after in March 2020 with "17 miljoen mensen", a new version of the Fluitsma & Van Tijn song "15 miljoen mensen". It was recorded with Davina Michelle live in an empty Rotterdam Ahoy during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands. At one minute and 47 seconds long, it became the shortest number-one hit in Dutch history.
In July 2020, Snelle was added as a judge to The Voice Kids. In August, he collaborated with fellow Gelderland duo Suzan & Freek on the single "De overkant", a tribute to the province and the Achterhoek region.
In 2021, Snelle had his biggest hit yet with "Blijven slapen", a collaboration with Maan that stayed at number one for ten weeks. A documentary about his life, Snelle: Zonder jas naar buiten, premiered on Netflix in April.
In 2022, he debuted as a presenter on the show I Want Your Song. He also served as a judge on the music competition series Ministars and on the competition series De Bondgenoot.

## Personal life

After becoming famous, Snelle moved to Amsterdam, but he was often harassed by fans at his home. Thus, he moved back to his birthplace of Deventer by early January 2021.
In December 2024, he proposed to his girlfriend Sterre Kunzler in New York City's Central Park.
