S10, whose real name is Stien den Hollander, is from Abbekerk, Nord Holland, and has already packed a lot into her career at the tender age of 21.
In 2016, the Dutch Indie singer-songwriter released her debut album called Antipsychotica. As she was just starting out, she shared the songs via SoundCloud and quickly got noticed.
Soon, she caught the attention of rapper Jiggy Djé who signed S10 to his record label Noah's Ark.
Since, she's released even more music, including her 2019 debut studio album Snowsniper, which went on to be awarded the prestigious Edison Award - the Dutch equivalent of a Grammy. Her songs have also touched on her experience of mental health.
What is the Netherlands' Eurovision 2022 song called?
De Diepte, which translates to mean 'The Depth', was penned by S10 and Arno Krabman.
Like many of her songs before, it speaks about depression and mental health after a tough break-up.
Speaking about the powerful message behind the lyrics, S10 explained: "It's a love song to my own sadness and also my memories."
She went on to say that she wanted listeners to feel like "they are not alone" and that they can overcome anything.
