FEMALE VOCALIST | COMPOSER | PRODUCER
​​Dee is a female vocalist, composer & producer from The Netherlands. She writes, arranges and produces all her music herself, while working closely with top musicians and artists worldwide.
​Her love for Old-School Songs from the seventies by legendary singers like Gladys Knight, Randy Crawford & Patti Austin strongly influenced how she operates both as a composer and producer and has been a powerful force in her development as a musician and songwriter.
Her style is hard to pinpoint—a unique blend of vintage pop, jazz, and soul, yet unlike any of them. Due to her French background, Dee occasionally writes French chansons as well.

OLD SCHOOL SONGWRITING & PRODUCING
"We need music that is real. We need music that is kind. We need strong songs, songs that every generation can relate to. Songs about love. We need happy songs in worrisome times, because, in the end, love is all that matters".
OLD SCHOOL PRODUCING
Inspired by recordings from her childhood,
Dee aims to capture a vintage soulful sound combined with an old-fashioned approach towards songwriting. She focusses on strong melodies, supported by surprising harmonies, all while maintaining a strong groove.
To create a spacious, authentic sound, she uses a minimum amount of plugins, presets & filters. She records and mixes the old-fashioned way, working exclusively with real instruments and carefully selecting the best musicians for each part. Backing Vocals with unusual voicings are an essential part of her arrangements.
Dee is a musician, producer and arranger supported by some of the most in-demand engineers and musicians in the industry.
