Samantha Klumper (2011–present)Past members Svenja van Beek (2004-2011) Djumbo is a pop group based in the Netherlands.
Lindsy is described as a helpful little girl, sometimes timid, one of her favourite activities is chatting on the phone. Lotte is said to be open-minded and honest, and she loves animals. Samantha loves dancing and singing.
The three girls met in a dancing school in Eindhoven where their dancing skills were discovered by Platenproducer who signed them up for their first single Hide and Seek under the Djumbo Project. Their 2 first singles entered top 5 in their homeland and they succeeded, in less than 6 months, to become one of the most popular pop groups there.
Djumbo's style into the pop. They make no bubblegum music what claims people who live outside the Netherlands. Although some of their songs are more pop-based. Their sound is quite similar to K3, who are also based in the Netherlands.. Both have the fun bouncy 'childish' style that make it popular amongst children.
The lyrics of most Djumbo songs are written in a combination of English and Dutch, with the majority of the song being in Dutch and the chorus (and title) being in English
