Rolf Sanchez

Roelof Johannes Wienk (born 3 July 1991), known professionally as Rolf Sanchez, is a Dutch singer from Ede, Gelderland.

Born to a Dominican mother and a Dutch father, Sanchez performed in the fourth season of the Dutch X Factor in 2011. He had three number-one singles on the Billboard Tropical Airplay chart as well as one number-one single in the Netherlands, "Más más más".

Career Roelof Wienk was born to a Dominican mother and a Dutch father in Ede, along with a younger brother. He went by "Rolf" as a child because he thought it was a nicer-sounding name. He learned to speak Spanish from his mother at a young age.

In 2011, Rolf Wienk took part in the fourth season of the Dutch version of the television show X Factor, where he took third place. Despite not finishing first, he still received a record deal. In the same year, his debut single "Ave Maria", a Spanish-language cover by David Bisbal, was released.

In 2013, the singer went to the Dominican Republic to focus on Spanish-language songs. He started to go by "Rolf Sanchez" because it was difficult for Spanish speakers to pronounce his Dutch last name Wienk. From 2015 to 2018, Sanchez lived in Miami, but he said he did not enjoy his time living there.
