About Me

Hey all!
(Be sure to turn your bullshit-filter ON right about NOW.)
My name is Marjan Welman. I'm a 22 year-old from the Netherlands whose passion is singing. (Like the myspace url didn't give that away.)
I'm inspired by loads of singers/bands from all kinds of genres. No need to get stuck to one type of music, right? I would love to sing in every kind of genre. (Except for hardcore country, sorry, no can do!)
Next to my band Elister, I also participate in a project called 'Elemental Journey'. In the near future I'll also do some guestvocals for 'Conorach' and every once in a while I climb the stage with 'Dialogue' as well.
Apart from music, I'm also busy with school. When I was a little girl, I decided I wanted to become a primary school teacher. Now I'm undecided. Love kids though. Well, most of the time.
As you might have noticed, I suck at writing bio's. So, if there's anything you'd like to know, don't hesitate to ask.
Hatemail, constructive criticism and compliments are always welcome! ;)

I'll keep you posted! (I think) (I'll try) (Really)
~Marjan
