2008 : After a break during which they devoted to their respective projects, Bn’B comes back with a new drummer Simon GATEHOUSE and a new bassist Renaud BOYER. The main focus is still on live performances. However, recording is also part of the agenda and Anthony will take the opportunity to give birth to one of his oldest dream :“ It’s X’mas ”. This song will be the first single of the new band, the realization of what has long been hoped for … The 3 tracks CD will come out as a beautiful combination of POP and Rn’B. Along with the song“ It's X'mas ” ,“ Why ” and“ Enough ” which are autobiographical, give the audience a little glimpse of what Bn'B has got in store for those who are ready to enjoy the ride. One word sums it all up : promising …
2007 : Performances become frequent, the main focus is still on playing as much as possible ... The 5 members of Bn’B work hard to set up songs that they have to rearrange. They hit the roads, enjoying the journey, on stage and outside of it. The audience’s reaction is enthusiastic !
Bridget and Anthony go back to writing and composing, together and solo. The feeling of being so close to what they were trying to achieve is consuming them, they need to find that particular sound, reach that special place where two different worlds come together completely, ever so naturally ...
2006 : The project caught the interest of two producers from Marseilles, Ann KRISTENSEN and Nadia SHALAH (ANGELDIAM Prod), who decide to record a first single entitled “ Cum 2 Mee ” .The Cd come out in June, but unfortunately the promotion is only done in France, and even if the press and radios broadcast it, it clearly isn’t a song targeted for the French market … Bridget decides then, not to wait anymore, and starts to perform on stage. They set up ten acoustic songs, play on all small musical stages of the area and start touring in the south cities. The audience is there, the voice is amazing, songs are excellent, but Anthony still thinks that they should have a real band, as songs might have more power with more instruments.
He starts to look out for musicians, emphasizing more on the human factor before anything else, and this will take a very long time.
2005 : We can see Bridget appearing in a Coca Cola TV Ad and various films and series such as “Jingle Bells”, “ Femmes de Loi ”, “ Retrouver Sara ”, “ 3 pères a la maison ”, “Un lendemain de Fête”, “ La fille du chef ”… etc. She also does some theatre performances (“ Brussels Manifesto ” directed by Yvonne Mc DEVITT, Irish director (Brussels, Scarabaeus theatre). An R’n’B project is in preparation. Her friend“ Jam STYLZ aka Frank ” joins her and together they will write and compose many songs, tainted with a very personal flavor ...
The 27th of July, she goes to France and meets Anthony HOLDER who has contacted her after hearing her song entitled “Why”.
Convinced that he has found what he was looking for after a 9 months singers auditioning, he finally proposes her to associate her R’n’b/Soul voice to a Pop/Rock music. The idea seems quite strange, and nobody really believes in it, but they keep on working on creating something, and after a few weeks, the POP/R’n’B style was born !
From now, they had to give life to this new musical style.
2004 : Signs with an independent publishing label (Nixie Music) and a 4 tracks single is edited (“ Why ”, “ Heart of Stone ”,
“ Enough ”, “ Do you know ”), written by her and one of her oldest friend, and talented composer, Jam STYLZ aka Frank.
Two songs of this single are also part of the “ Solid’Air ” Album, produced by the same label and which aim is to help a charity association (Bol d’Air) for autistic children.
Her songs were broadcasted in France, Belgium (Radio Judaica, Radio Campus, Radio Air Libre), and and Switzerland (DBC Radio). Then she produces and promotes her own album.
Meanwhile she meets another French producer Sly ATHANN (Alias Steve AUSTEEN), Black Swing Rekoordz, with whom she collaborates for one of the songs (“ Forever ”).
She also writes for Lars DUEYSEN (Give Records, Germany), exclusive songwriter for Universal Publishing Germany. She obtains a role in a Belgium production (S-production) movie entitled “ La liste noire ” (“ the black list ”), which came out in May.
Then she starts to work as an actress or extra for movies, Soap Opera, Theatre, Advertisement …
She is attracted by any kind of artistic expression.
2003 : End of the collaboration with Temega Productions, she starts to look for another label to help her to find the right opportunities, and make her way. She is back at the studio to compose and write her own songs.
2002 : She meet a Belgium producer (Temega Productions) who will produce in March, her first single (dance music) named “>I’m sorry” (under the nickname of “SWEET B”), which will be distributed by Assekrem (independent label). Diffused on many radio stations in France (Q Music, Radio Contact), Belgium (Radio 21), Netherlands (..), and even in the UK (Radio Forrest). The single was also played in nightclubs. In July, it will be broadcasted many times on a Belgium TV Channel (interviews and live show).
1998-2001 : She performs regularly in Cafés with live music (Tuc Tuc, Cercle Rouge, La Marie-Galante, and nightclubs …) in Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent. But she wants to explore further, she wants to express herself through a music that will represent who she really is, and that will talk to her soul and heart. So, she starts to work hard on creating her own style.
1997 : First appearance on a national TV ( RTBF1 ), in an entertainment broadcasting program called “ Pour la gloire ”
( “ For the glory ”), where she ends up semi-finalist with the band “ Feelin ”.
1995-1996 : Recording of a few songs with an Italian producer ( Toni CARINELLI ). One of the songs, called “ Dance in Diskotheca ” (groove dance) will be signed, but will never come out because of disagreements between record company and producer.

She’s always been a dreamer ever since she was a child and music quickly became her favorite way to express herself. When she was 7 years old, she was already performing in front of her schoolmates, singing the greatest hits of the time. As time goes by, musical styles are succeeding, and each trend leaves a trace in the growing passion of this young teenager. Rock, Pop, Soul, Funk, Gospel, and later Jazz, will contribute to build her own personality. Then she starts to study jazz at the Antwerp’s Jazz Studio.
Writing and composing become a necessity, a need inspired by Aretha FRANKLIN, Shaka KAN or Whitney HOUSTON’s voice and hardour, and many others …
Soon, the butterfly will take her flight.
After much traveling around the world with her parents (her father, who’s Dutch, is a diplomat at the United Nations, and her mum is from Rwanda), it is in Belgium, where she settles down with her family, that she starts to make it happen.
In parallel with her student life (translation studies), she keeps in mind this dream which haunts her spirit: singing, singing always and forever. She does a few contests, and is broadcasted for the first time on a national radio, for the interpretation of one of MADONNA’s most famous song.
She goes from Piano Bars to small clubs in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent and even in the Netherlands. She also appears on TV in musical programs, picks up small roles and is an extra or actress in a few films and advertisements, and from time to time works as a model.
In the meantime, with the passing days and chance encounters, she devotes her time to writing and recording demos.
In Summer 2006, she comes in France to prepare a new album with ANGELDIAM Prod team. At the same time, a first single is released "Cum 2 Mee" for the American market and later, a maxi CD "It's X'Mas" planned for the Christmas Days in 2009.
Bridget, a voice to discover, a world to conquer. A trip to remember …
"D'ya know her ?"
Keep on Rockin' !
