Born in the Netherlands, partially raised in Germany by a mother who is a songwriter and piano teacher and by a father who is an opera singer, music was a naturally given gift, genetically passed on, a way to communicate your mood and your feelings. As far as she can remember- the teachers always gave her the first voice for every recital. "I just did it as it came natural to me, not realizing at that point that it really would be a profession that I would end up with" she laughs. "I remember standing in front of the mirror with a brush, singing along with my Mom's old vinyl singles that I found in the attic." Music by the Beatles, Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross or the Jackson 5, while her father was downstairs, singing and listening to his classical music. She was 16 years old when she started to entertain the thought about becoming a professional singer but always had a sense of strong responsibility and felt that she had to finish her school education first and have a job to always have a back up plan to then support her passion.
