From an eclectic journey, including studying anthropology, the kitchen of a sushi restaurant and a tea shop, Rémy decided to operate a change of direction and go for the opposite of what anyone (especially their parents) would expect: musical theatre. From a hobby, it grew into something more. With the stage still calling, they joined the AICOM musical school and made their first steps as a professional artist. Once freshly graduated from the art of dance, theatre, and singing that Rémy felt it was time to open those wings and go for the real thing. From Sister Act to Dear Evan Hansen with a quick detour by Chicago, they are now ready to storm the stage once again!

Having recently moved to Brussels, Leah grew up in France, watching and singing along to all-time musical classics and dreaming of one day joining the stage. Acting in school plays, singing in choirs and bands, she finally moved to London where she discovered the magic of the West End and doing musical theatre alongside her studies. Ever since she's longed to return to the stage.

Born in Luxembourg into a Portuguese immigrant family, Gabriel got into music early on, inspired by his mother’s love for pop divas and French musicals. He started by singing in choirs and playing the flute, until he picked up the electric guitar and joined a rock band. Gabriel put music on hold as he came to Brussels to study film, yet those same studies inspired him to go after the genre he has always loved: musicals. While writing his own musicals - for both stage and the silver screen - he also rekindled his own love for performing. He took an intensive year of singing courses at AICOM’s Brussels campus, to prepare himself as a musical performer, debuting as a cast member in Knocked.

Deniz is a tax professional who finds joy in the intricacies of legal provisions and the beauty of music. His musical journey began just three years ago and since then, he’s been grateful for the opportunity to share his passion for classical arias as a soloist at the Brussels Academy of Music. He’s also a member of the European Union Choir, where he learns and grows with fellow music enthusiasts. When not immersed in music, Deniz enjoys the spontaneity of theatrical improvisation, a hobby he’s cherished for six years. He stepped into the shoes of Bill Fordham in Tracy Letts’ sharp and witty drama ‘August: Osage County’ (2019), and of The Mikado in Gilbert and Sullivan’s opera ‘The Mikado’ (2024).

Growing up in Flanders in a musical-loving family, Kelly was fascinated by the world of music and theatre from a young age, dreaming to be up on the stage herself someday. She participated in several projects throughout the years, such as theatre plays and more recently as the singer in a Brussels-based pop rock band. In recent years, her interest in environmentalism and social change-making took form in both her personal and professional life. She spends her days as a project manager in a sustainability NGO. However, the creative urge kept calling, which led to finally combining her two biggest passions of singing and acting, starring in her first musical project ever.

Quentin Clemens has always had too many thoughts and feelings to contain—which is probably why he’s spent his life chasing outlets for self-expression, from writing to film school to choirs to the stage. Hailing from West-Flanders, with Maltese and Indian roots and an academic background in Psychology and Data Science, he works as an editorial analyst by day; by night (when not performing or rehearsing), he channels what’s left of his energy into reviews, essays, and far too many half-written plays. Quentin was Lumière in Beauty & The Beast’ and Bert in Mary Poppins with All Together Now, The Bridge. He has also taken on both comedic and dramatic parts, in Tiny Beautiful Things, ATC, Salomé, BATS, Wyrd Sisters, ECC, and directed and sound designed Almost, Maine; Circle Mirror Transformation, both ATC. Knocked marks Quentin’s return to musical performance.
