This is it - your very first glimpse of #DIANNE7!
You might not be able to hear the first notes just yet, but trust me: the determined look on my face, combined with the virtuosic piano playing of maestro Joost van den Broek, can only mean one thing... this song will be another stunner!

That's a musical wrap for 2025! ๐
With two new "Soulward Bound" songs released, a feature on Mortemia's powerful cover of "Like a Hurricane" and a mysterious cameo as Pandora in Blackbriar's "Bluebeard's Chamber"... this year is definitely one to celebrate!
Thank you so much for listening, sharing and most of all... for joining me on my journey. Let's continue our quest into 2026! ๐

Just one more writing session to go and then itโs time for my Christmas holiday!
Ooooh, I can already hear the Christmas bells, smell the delicious food and can almost taste the champagne to toast the new year.
But first things first: laying down the first notes of #DIANNE7.
Have you started your Christmasย countdownย yet?

Why do I love reaction videos?
Because they let me witness your first-time experience with my music: The goosebumps, the surprise, the emotions. Itโs like I get to relive the moment through your eyes and that never gets old!
So thank you โช@TheWolffAndTheMelodyโฌ for this wonderful review!

Grey skies, endless rain and gloomy days seem to be upon us here in the Netherlands... Are you feeling it too, wherever you are? ๐ง
It instantly brings me back to the "Phantom of War" video shoot, where the rain poured just as hard. It challenged us, but it didnโt stop us and we finished something truly powerful!
So hereโs your sunny reminder: donโt let the storm slow you down. Beautiful things are waiting on the other side. And if it keeps on rainingโฆ just sing in the rain like I did. ๐

Me behind the mic! Ever wondered what recording a song like "Phantom of War" looks like?
Hereโs a little sneak peek straight from the studio. Can you guess what line I was singing in photo 2 & 4?
Need some inspiration? โก๏ธ
