Growing up in the ’80 and ’90 in Oss, Bregje Lacourt was raised with artists like Aretha Franklin, Etta James and Phil Collins. Later on in 1990 when Mariah Carey came with her first single â€vision of love†she sold her heart to singing.
The magic of a voice and the impact it can have on people was what she wanted to make her own.
After a lot of singing while her mother played the piano she took some singing lessons but puberty was striking in and she became to shy to expose her singing.
On the age of eleven she took piano lessons till she was sixteen as a sort substitute
After finishing high school she met a friend on her next school and she was singing musicalplays
Not really her thing but she finally dared to sing in front of her and she got an compliment!
Not long after that she started to take lessons again and became better and better.
After three years she decided she wanted to be a professional and wanted to learn more about music.
She auditioned for the Conservatorium Pop academy in Rotterdam at the age of 18 and made it in.
Now we are several years later and she discovered more differend music her interest have expanded from Queens of the stone age, Nikka Costa, Sheryl Crow and Chris Cornell to John Mayer, Amy Winehouse ,Tori Amos,Thomas Dybdhal, Rosie Thomas, Sia and Ani di Franco.
LACOURT:
Lacourt contains her own songs in co-writing with Renzo van Riemsdijk.
They recorded this EP in studio stereo-type in Rotterdam with great support of Diego van Uden.
All songs are pieces of her past, present and wishfull future. Check out the list of planned gigs and we'll see you there
L.Veda:
L.Veda is a project of a very good friend of her, Richard van Leenen.
He makes his fine tunes with several other people and mostly friends in his own livingroom.
She took part of this project in 2005 and she's still working on songs with him. Big Billy and Movement are the first songs finished with her voice and lyrics on it.
In this corporation she can put all her own stories in floating and very colourfull music.
It's a totally differend side of her and she's glad to have found her musical buddy in Richard.
