Jermaine Berkhoudt, a.k.a. MC JR / MAIN (Rotterdam), has been a friendly and familiar face within the culture since ’11, active as an artist, host, MC, cultural entrepreneur, actor and culture educator. He has been resident MC of platforms like BoogieBall, Vunzige Deuntjes, Pass The Dutch (DE), HigherLife Jam and thousands of parties and events.

His contribution as a pacesetter in nightlife and festival culture is memorable, from there diversifying into moderating and presenting NL's biggest stages like North Sea jazz, ESNS, Woohah, Mysteryland or Lowlands has been an epic journey.

He maintains being the "The most diverse!" , from hosting national electoral result events (PVDA/GL), interviewing leading dutch prof.'s at 'Erasmus Night Of Science' or cracking jokes with dutch princes Laurentien on stage at the prestigious 'IFLA 2023' to hyping the crowd at 'The National Firework' ;'25 show in Rotterdam.

He brings the same enthusiasm and energy to every stage.
