24 May 1948
Ernst Gideon Jansz (born 24 May 1948 in Amsterdam) is one of the founding members and frontmen of Doe Maar.
Doe Maar is a Dutch 1980s ska/reggae band, and is considered one of the most successful bands in Dutch pop history.
1932
His father, born in Semarang on Java, is an Indo (Dutch-Indonesian), who went to the Netherlands in 1932 after finishing his study at the Batavia HBS to continue his higher education there.
Once Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands, his father was involved in the Dutch resistance movement, until he was captured and interned in a German concentration camp.
After the war he became one of the few Indo advocates for an independent Indonesia.
In his view the principle of liberty and independence applied to both situations: Dutch independence from Nazi Germany and Indonesian independence from the colonial Netherlands.
author

Together with Henny Vrienten, Jansz wrote the majority of the Doe Maar-songs and alternated as lead vocalists.
He was originally asked to be the band's keyboardist, and played synthesizer on many songs.
1980
His Indo background has influenced much of his work (for Doe Maar), particularly "Rumah Saya" (My House or My Home), which he wrote and recorded in 1980 for Skunk, one of the best-sold albums in Dutch pop history.
In the song he describes that he fits in with neither Dutch nor Indonesian culture fully.
No mountains at the horizon, in this land of my birth. [...] And then I long for the land of my father.
But also there I will be a stranger. [...] Rumah saya dimana?
1981
(Wheres my home?) Song lyrics by Ernst Jansz, 1981.
1982
Doe Maar broke into superstardom in 1982, making both Jansz and Vrienten the perfect pop-idols in their mid-thirties.
Overexposure caused them to break up two years later.

Ernst Jansz has written three semi-autobiographical books: Gideons droom (Gideon's Dream, 1983) De Overkant (The Other Side, 1985), and Molenbeekstraat (Een liefdeslied 1948 – 1970) (Molenbeekstraat: a lovesong 1948–1970), 2006).
The latter two share their titles with Jansz' solo-albums.
Gideons droom is about a second-generation Indo (Indo-European) Dutchman like himself; De Overkant is a three-part book dealing with letters between Jansz and his family (especially his father), the life of his mother, and an account of his trip to Indonesia.
Molenbeekstraat covers his early life and mixes in songtext from the Molenbeekstraat album.
