My name is Rianne, also known as Soulgirlie on the www! I've been singing since I was 2 years old and still it's my biggest passion in life.I grew up in a family where music was always around, my father sang and played the guitar (as you can hear on the song 'god bless the child'), my mother can sing and I'm in a coverband with my sister...www.bellybuttonband.nlThe songs you can hear on my space are just some songs I've recorded on my computer, my camera or live in Tuscany, for example. So there's no mixing involded, so it's not all perfect, but it gives a good impression. It's just to give an idea of my voice and songs I really like to sing.My dream is to keep singing jazzy, soulful & groovy songs with guitar, piano or bass to perform in bars or theatre...and I think I can do this with PUUR (www.martijnspit.nl/puur) and with RIAN together with Arno den Otter (www.myspace.com/riansoul)Beneath you can see two of the songs I perform with my coverband BellyButton, Valerie, Respect, Chain of fools, Son of a preacherman and I'm so excited...I love these songs!These below video's were took at my jazzvacation in Tuscany, Italy in 2008 and 2009. Enjoy God bless the Child, Moon over Bourbonstreet, Lately, Make you feel my love, Leather, Soul Suckers and a piece of our performance in Lucignano!
