About me

View profile
Greetings! I'm Yannick Jacobs, but you might know me better by my artistic alias, TonicMendi. Residing in Deurne, my passion lies at the intersection of performance art, theatre, and hip-hop, where I've carved my niche in the vibrant arts scene.
Professional Highlights:
  • SOCHA Collaborations: My journey includes captivating collaborations with SOCHA, an avant-garde artistic platform. Noteworthy performances like "Socha On Fire" at Theater Arsenaal and KVS Brussel showcase my commitment to pushing artistic boundaries.
  • IE (Improvisatie-Expressie): I've left my mark as an artist and host at Maanrock, breathing life into the stage with energy and spontaneity. Hosting Bagera Cyphers has allowed me to connect with diverse audiences through the power of words and rhythm.
  • Versatile Artistry: Beyond the stage, I've delved into figurative roles, gracing VTM's "Louis Louise" in 2008 and adding flair to various music videos, including those of Bizzy Blaza and Pepe's "Straten van Antwerpen."
  • Tonic Voorbereid: From soul-stirring performances in "Bloed Zweet en Tranen" to collaborations with Deadbeat Larry and Marios Bellas, my musical journey extends into the realms of emotion and creativity.
Multilingual Communicator:
A polyglot artist, I navigate seamlessly through Dutch, French, and English, articulating, writing, and understanding each with proficiency. This linguistic versatility enriches my ability to connect with diverse audiences.
Vision for the Future:
Looking ahead, I am eager to continue weaving narratives that resonate with people. Whether through the immersive world of theatre, the rhythmic poetry of hip-hop, or the expressive canvas of visual arts, I aim to create experiences that leave a lasting impact.
Join me on this artistic journey as we explore the boundless possibilities of expression and connection. Let's create, inspire, and make waves in the world of art and culture together!
