Jan Keizer (born 3 April 1949 in Volendam) is a Dutch singer and composer, best known as one of the singers of the popband BZN.
Keizer began his career in music as a drummer with the band Empty Hearts, which he renamed the Q-tips two years later, after the main guitar player left, and turned it into a close-harmony band. By the late 1960s Keizer joined BZN to replace their drummer, Jaap Sombroek. When the band's lead singer, Jan Veerman, left in 1974 Keizer replaced him.[1]
In 2007, he disbanded BZN.[2] In 2008, he released another solo album Give me your smile.[2] His sixth solo album Chords of Life was released in 2009.[3]
In January 2010, he was on the jury for the TROS singing competition Sterren.nl Academy.[3]
Since then, Keizer has reunited with BZN's singer Anny Schilder.
