Ali B (1982), stage name of Ali Bouali, is a Moroccan-Dutch rapper, comedian and tv-host. As a child, he was a naughty boy, gambling and dealing drugs for money. He released his first single in 2003, but his breakthrough came in 2004, when he performed together with the famous singer Marco Borsato. Their song 'What would you do'/'Wat zou je doen' (2004) had a number 1 position in the Top 40 for four weeks.
He has a successful tv-career, with shows like Ali B on full turning speed/Ali B op volle toeren (2014-current), in which he lets young rappers and established artists sing each others songs; and The voice of Holland (2013-current, as a coach). He also made five theatre shows.
Ali B is well-known as the Dutch cuddle- or huggy-Moroccan ('knuffel-Marokkaan'), meaning something like he's loving/lovable, all Dutch people embrace him. The nickname arised after he spontaneously hugged Queen Beatrix during her 25-year-jubilee (2005) - which no one did before or after him -. He uses this nickname proudly when he, in theatres and as opinion maker, makes an effort to improve the relationship between Dutch and Moroccan-Dutch people.

Ali B was awarded many times, for example with a Silver Harp (2004), the Pop Award (2004), a Silver Televisier Star (Best male tv-host, 2012) and the Salvation Army Bosshardt Award (2016), for connecting cultures, generations and religions. The British Economist praised him (in 2015) as the most important opinion maker in Dutch ethnic relations.
The song 'Ik huil alleen bij jou' (literally: 'I only cry when I'm with you', 2016) was written after his father became seriously ill with cancer. His father died in 2015. The song was nominated for the Buma Most Successful Single Award 2017 (but came in second).
Diggy Dex (1980), stage name of Koen Jansen, is a rapper. He released five albums. His biggest hits were 'Sleep well'/'Slaap lekker' (2009) and 'Don't be sad'/'Treur niet' (2015).
