Welcome to the English section of my website
Yes, it's a bit smaller than the Dutch one for now. But my activities
these days are located in The Netherlands anyway. And if there's any
change: I will
let you know!
Hopefully this section gives
you just enough information and besides, there's always Myspace:
Vocals, acoustic guitar and beautiful songs ... lessons and vocal workshops

July 2010
some nice pics from me :-) taken during the show on June 21st (by
Mariska Chardet).

June 2010
At the moment I am writing songs and music for in a play that will be
performed on June 21st in the City Theatre of Tilburg. The writer Cheta
Urmila was asked by Tilburg's 'Nightmayor'
(ambassador of Arts and Music in the city) as one of the 'moonscouts' (= a woman who has something
special to say to the people of Tilburg, for a period of a month in
between two full moons). She always wanted to write a
play so here's her chanche ;-) And I have never written songs for in a play,
so it's exiting for both of us!

Short Biography
I started writing songs somewhere halfway the nineties, after playing
bassguitar in a local rockband and discovering this hole in my face was
not just for eating and speaking, and after overcoming my shyness to admit
I liked what I heard (...). So I called
myself a singer-songwriter and the songs brought
me to various venues in The Netherlands and abroad. In 1998 I did a
short tour and released my first mini album. From 1999 untill 2004 I attended the brand
new "Rock Academy" in Tilburg, which brought about a big change
in both my musical and personal life. Meanwhile I played with my band
The Disposable Souls and a couple of other nice projects. After that
it became a bit silent here for a few years but meanwhile I started
working as a vocal teacher.
At the moment (2010) I still work as a vocal coach (private lessons and
groupworkshops), I sing and play guitar in an acoustic duo (entertaiment), do backingvocals on demand, etc. And I actually try writing some new
songs every now and then!

English pronounciation…" (Bottomline)
"...flexible as a rubberband, clear as water..." (Popcall)
"...beautiful, warm voice that definitely shows talent..."
