My parents have always been very supportive of my career but they weren’t singers nor did they play any instruments, music was never a big part of their daily lives. A lot of artists grew up with a lot of music. “ Strangely enough I don’t come from a very musical family. Was anyone else in your family musical and who were your idols, who did you want to be when you grew up? You chose a school because of its creativity aspect of it, you joined a local rock band as lead singer and song writer at the age of 15 and started singing lessons too. It seems like you had your life road mapped out at an early age. For the rest my memory is kind of blurry there! But while I was in elementary school I discovered Mariah Carey, who back then had a more soulful and gospel like sound and for example Alanis Morissette’s album Jagged Little Pill inspired me to start writing my own lyrics.” “ Pleasure to be here! Well, at one point I discovered my dad had a Suzanne Vega album and I also remember a Chris de Burgh one. You were practicing your vocal skills by singing along to your father’s records – who were the artists you were bellowing out?

Your singing ‘career’ started in your bedroom like so many other artists. Real Dutch courage with her new album ‘Brave’
