Eek A Mouse (JM) | De Pit, Terneuzen | 18-01-2026

Eek-A-Mouse, real name Ripton Hilton, is a unique artist you’ll never forget once you hear his voice. He broke through in 1979 with his first single “Once a Virgin” and immediately stood out thanks to his high, nasal voice and playful “biddy beng-beng” vocal style. His music is joyful, original, and full of strong melodies. Although he’s often seen as a DJ, his style is better described as a mix of singing and talking: singjay.

About Eek-A-Mouse
In the 1980s and 1990s he became known worldwide with albums like Eek-A-Nomics and U-Neek. He scored hits such as “The Freak” and “You Are The One I Need”, and even released a reggae version of a Led Zeppelin song. Eek-A-Mouse also collaborated with other artists, including P.O.D. on their rock-reggae track “Ridiculous” and the ska-punk band OPM on “Perfect Day”.

Besides music, he also appeared in films, including the 1991 crime classic New Jack City, where he acted alongside Wesley Snipes and Chris Rock. Despite his bizarre, funny, and original style, he has always remained something of a cult figure. But live, he is unforgettable—especially with riddim legends Mafia & Fluxy by his side. Expect classics like “Wa-Do-Dem” and “Virgin Girl” — a unique experience with a true musical legend.
