Roxeanne Hazes is seen by many people as the only normal Hazes. Her brother and mother are constantly in the news with the craziest antics. Doesn’t she just want to get rid of that name?
André Hazes Jr. and his mother Rachel Hazes are two completely derailed media tigers. There is something every time: with him it often takes place on a relational level, with her on a legal level. Roxeanne Hazes is the victim of this; she just wants to make nice music, but everywhere she goes she is confronted with their crazy antics.
Discussions and whining
Roxeanne has now decided to simply never answer it, she says in the podcast Lightless Lounge. “So I think if you just constantly stick to the same answer: yes, I’m just not going to talk about that… I want to say what I want to say about it in my music. As soon as people get that finger, they just grab that whole hand, you know.”
And Roxeanne thinks that is ‘a real shame’. “Because that means my music is snowed under. There are always discussions and whining about family troubles. And that doesn’t necessarily come from me, because I never share anything when it comes to family troubles. And again – and I really want to emphasize this – my songs are hopeful and loving.”
Proud of your name?
When asked whether Roxeanne is still proud of her name, she answers: “Yes, somewhere. Yes, because I have often been asked the question: ‘Hey, Rox, just distance yourself from it and remove that last name.’ You know, I sometimes read that in comments. But then I think: yes, in principle my father cannot do much about this.”
She continues: “As crazy as that sounds, that’s what it is. And yes, I am still very proud of who I am and who he is. I also think it is very special to introduce Fender to my father. Of course, I sang his music for a long time and I stopped.”
Different look
Roxeanne has renounced everything related to it. “And I must also say that it allows me to look at him with a completely different view. With a lot of resignation and very loving. And now I can pass that on to my child, so I also notice the pride he has when he sees a poster in grandpa’s city. And it’s so much fun.”
“And then he just shouts that to a complete stranger: ‘Guys, this is just my grandfather.’ That’s so much fun. Yes, and then he also wants to hear songs and I introduce him to them. And I find that very special. So yes, I am certainly still proud.”
