It's a well-known fact that life can pass you by quickly, but Anouk's is whizzing by at warp speed. Since the release of her debut album, Together Alone from 1997, she's been able to cover her wall with the amount of gold and platinum records she's received, as well as having an international hit on her hands with the track Nobody's Wife.
Add to that a couple of Edison awards, Dutch magazine and television awards (Hitkrant/TMF), and throw in some appearances at major festivals in Europe such as Pinkpop and Parkpop, oh, and she also found time to get herself signed to the Columbia label in the States. Not bad going so far for a 25 year-old tomboy from The Hague.
But, on the other hand, we are dealing with the kind of rock singer that Holland hasn't produced for a long time, or possibly even never. Raw and pure, oozing passion and possessed with an outstanding voice, that can combine the earthy emotions within the blues with straight up rock and flowing funky rhythms, but also incorporates such perse influences such as hip-hop and ska.
Anouk doesn't like to be repetitive, as demonstrated on her second album Urban Solitude, a mixed bag of styles, which this ambitious young singer released at the end of 1999, but she already had one eye on the 21st century that lay ahead, which was to prove the right time for an independent girl who knows what she wants and won't be categorised.
Anouk, who was born on April 8th, 1975 in The Hague, inherits her love for the blues from her mother, a singer in a blues band. As a child she makes up and sings her own songs, but in puberty, singing is to become an important emotional outlet for her, where she is able to express her frustration if things turn out badly.
