Lars Sebastiaan Bos (born October 3, 1995), known as Snelle, is a Dutch rapper and singer. He comes from Gorssel, Gelderland, in the Netherlands.
Snelle is famous for his number-one songs in the Netherlands. These include "Reünie", "Smoorverliefd", "17 miljoen mensen", and "Blijven slapen". These popular songs topped the music charts between 2019 and 2021.
Early Life
Lars Bos was born in Deventer, a city in the Netherlands. He grew up in a town called Gorssel. When he was born, he had a cleft lip. Because of this, he sometimes faced teasing when he was younger.
Snelle later studied music at the Herman Brood Academie. This school helps young artists learn about music.
Music Career
In 2019, Snelle became very well-known. His songs "Scars" and "Plankgas" became certified Platinum hits. This means they sold a lot of copies. In September, his song "Reünie" reached number one on the Dutch Top 40 chart. The song and its music video were about the teasing Snelle faced as a child. It showed how he grew stronger from those experiences.
In January 2020, Snelle had another number-one hit with "Smoorverliefd". He made this song with a Dutch insurance company called Interpolis. The song's goal was to warn young people about the dangers of texting while riding a bike. His third number-one song came out in March 2020. It was called "17 miljoen mensen". This was a new version of an older Dutch song. He recorded it live with singer Davina Michelle in an empty Rotterdam Ahoy arena. This happened at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands. The song was only 1 minute and 47 seconds long. It became the shortest number-one hit in Dutch history.

In July 2020, Snelle joined The Voice Kids as a judge. In August, he worked with the duo Suzan & Freek on a song called "De overkant". This song was a tribute to their home province, Gelderland.
In 2021, Snelle had his biggest hit yet with "Blijven slapen". This was a song he made with singer Maan. It stayed at number one for ten weeks! A documentary about his life also came out that year. It was called Snelle: Zonder jas naar buiten and premiered on Netflix.
In 2022, Snelle started presenting a TV show called I Want Your Song. He also worked as a judge on two other TV shows. These were Ministars and De Bondgenoot.
Personal Life
After Snelle became famous, he moved to Amsterdam. But fans often bothered him at his home there. So, in early 2021, he moved back to his hometown of Deventer.
In December 2024, Snelle asked his girlfriend, Sterre Kunzler, to marry him. He proposed to her in New York City's famous Central Park.
