Album release 'Quest for Beauty' March 2026

I’m delighted to share some exciting news: in March 2026 I will release my second album Quest For Beauty.

 

This project was recorded with my amazing quintet in the beautiful Wisseloord Studios last spring. Since then, sound engineer Alessandro Mazzieri has been shaping the mix and master with great care.

 

What makes this album extra special is that it also marks the official launch of my own genre: Storytelling Jazz. In this form, jazz and spoken word come together to create one immersive experience — weaving together music, poetry and personal stories. Quest For Beauty is the culmination of a deep contemplative and artistic journey that I’ve been walking over the past years.

 

I cannot wait to share more music and stories with you soon. Stay tuned for singles, behind-the-scenes content, and of course the release concerts in March.

Award News: Personality Prize Winner

In May 2025 I was honored to receive the Personality Prize at the Utrechts Kleinkunst Festival.


The jury praised my music with the following words:

“She invites us into a poetic landscape. The quality of her music is unbelievable.” – Margriet Bolding

 

This recognition means a lot to me — especially at this stage where I am shaping and presenting my own genre, Storytelling Jazz.
