Aside from music - art and writing always have been my work as well, and still are. I was a journalist and wrote books about psychology, and published photos in several American jazz magazines like a.o. Downbeat and Elmore Magazine. YOUTUBE Because I travel a lot and meet people whom I find adoring and / or interesting I started my Youtube Channel: Here you'll to find loads of interesting mini documentaries, interviews and music videos. Let me take you with me on my travels! |
WORK WORK WORK My work takes me to countries all over the world, which gives some people the impression that I am on vacation all the time. I love my work though, I'd rather do what I do than 'vacate'... More info about my other work on my other website: More recent photography and artwork on my facebook pages, (which are never really up to date): |

I grew up in a musical family and learned to play the piano, recorder and a few chords on the guitar from my parents. I did not make music for several decades though, and started to learn to play the guitar because I lost my heart to gypsy jazz, towards the end of 2012. Dancing, singing, and making music have always been a big part of who I am. Internationally I performed with outstanding musicians, a.o. in Hong Kong, New York, Chicago, Tampa, Sarasota, Nepal, Brazil, United Kingdom, Ireland, India and in Australia. In my band 'Irene's Gypsy Swing Band', I play with musicians in different combinations, like Paulus Schäfer, Feigeli Prisor, Govert Veltkamp, Lollo Meier, John Rijsdijk, Christiaan van Hemert. |
