Social worker & Rapper

Donovan Olive Oil

Donovan Olive Oil

I am Donovan, 36 years old, and I know Vlissingen like the back of my hand. As a social worker and rapper, I live for the city and its youth. Every day, I am dedicated to supporting, motivating, and giving a voice to young people, both in my work and in my music. Vlissingen is more than just a place to live for me; it is a source of inspiration, stories, and energy. The city and its people are the common thread in everything I do.

To truly get to know Vlissingen, you have to take a walk with Donson. Big smile, always chatting, a fist bump here, a joke there, and all the while he effortlessly points out the places that give the city its color. He knows the harbor, the entrepreneurs, and the young people. And they know him.

As a father, he knows how relaxed it is to have everything close by. A breath of fresh air on the Boulevard, a drink on a terrace, or a spontaneous meal in the city center. Vlissingen is compact, but far from boring. According to Donson, you don't need a thick wallet for a good day. Relax at Kop van Dok, grab a fresh juice at The Juice Bar in the city center, and in the evening, taste the flavors of the city in Scheldestraat, although his mother's roti remains number one.

During the day, he guides young people as a social worker and outreach counselor. At the same time, he's seriously building his career as a rapper. The gritty harbor and street culture form the backdrop of his life and his music videos.

Own the streets and discover its tips for a city that's alive.

“Vlissingen is compact, but far from boring.”
