BIOGRAPHY
Anne Chris is a Dutch vocalist and composer currently living in Amsterdam. In her music she
combines Jazz, Pop and Hip-Hop sounds with Latin and Soul influences. To date, Anne Chris has
released three albums, ‘Tomorrow is Today’ (2004), ‘Play for Now’ (2010), and ‘Just Kissed the
Sun’ (2014). She has performed at world-renowned venues such as Bimhuis, North Sea Jazz
Festival and Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Her band features Daan Herweg (piano), Kasper Kalf
(bass) and Jasper van Hulten (drums).
Anne Chris obtained both her Bachelor’s degree (2001) and Master’s degree (2003) in Jazz
Vocal at the distinguished Conservatory of Amsterdam. Following her dream of becoming a Jazz
vocalist, it soon became clear that Anne Chris likes to incorporate a wide variety of styles. To
categorize her purely as a Jazz vocalist is far too simplistic, though she has evidently been
influenced by the free form and improvised nature of Jazz.
Growing up in a musical family, Anne Chris was encouraged by her mother (a singer), and her
father (a composer), to pursue a professional career in music. In 2013, Anne Chris and her father
recorded a children's album together, called 'Vogeltje Zing Maar’, using songs that her father wrote
for her when Anne was very young. Anne Chris is also an established voice coach. She has devoted
her abilities and experience for the past 13 years to helping talented music enthusiasts develop their
voices.
In 2007, Anne Chris had multiple guest appearances in the show ‘Schreeuwstorm’ with famous
Dutch comedian Youp van ‘t Hek. At the end of his show she sang a surprise duet with him,
expressing both her musical and acting abilities. The show was a great success and featured at
Amsterdam’s renowned Royal Theater Carré, amongst other theaters in the Netherlands.
Anne Chris released her second album ‘Play for Now’ (O Twenty Records, 2010) to great
acclaim both in the Netherlands and in Thailand. Following the release, her name was on Dutch
Magazine Viva’s list of the most influential women in the Netherlands.
Anne Chris’s latest album ‘Just Kissed the Sun’ (O Twenty Records) was released on March
13th, 2014 at the North Sea Jazz Club in Amsterdam. Anne Chris collaborated with distinguished
Dutch pianist Daan Herweg, who co-wrote, co-produced and arranged songs for the album. The
album features ten original songs, with influences from artists like Gretchen Parlato, Esperanza
Spalding, Jill Scott and Michael Jackson. In addition, Anne Chris and Daan Herweg chose two of their
favourite 80’s covers (‘Stepping Out’ and ‘Love is a Battlefield’) and transformed them into
respectively a groovy latin song and a slow duo ballad with guitarist Bas van der Wal. Saxophonist
Tineke Postma was another special guest on the album.
Anne Chris has toured in Italy, Germany, Belgium, Morocco, India and Thailand, making a name
for herself internationally as well as in the Netherlands. Plans for a new national and international
tour are in the making as Anne Chris strives to share her music with a growing audience. As she
says, “I just love making music! If it touches you in some way, it’s enough to make me
happy.” (Anne Chris, 2014).
