Biography

Commercial assistant, ballet dancer, and pop singer Loona (born Marie-Jose van del Kolk) became captivated by dance-pop music at a young age. Spanish disc jockey and producer DJ Sammy decided to team up with her after listening to "Bailando," Loona's first hit. Her version of Mecano's "Hijo de la Luna" and "Dónde Vas" soon followed. Loona issued her debut album, called Lunita, in 1999. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

Career

When Marie moved to Majorca where she met DJ Sammy, they started recording songs under the name DJ Sammy featuring Carisma as "Life is just a game" which was their first hit (in 1996). This single was followed by "You are my angel", "Prince of love" and "Golden child". All these songs were put together in the album called DJ Sammy featuring Carisma "Life is just a game". In the summer of 1998 Marie came with a new project called "Loona", produced also by DJ Sammy. The first single was a cover of Paradisio's song "Bailando" and it became the summer song of 1998 in Germany reaching the top in German charts. In the autumn it was followed by another single "Hijo de la luna" (cover of the Spanish band Mecano) which also reached number 1 in German charts. Next release was her first album called "Lunita", where all the songs were in Spanish.
