my biography

Hi,
singing is what makes me feel good !! I have been singing since I was a three year old !!
My father used to sing songs of Louis Neefs , a Belgian singer with a deep and warm voice.
My parents loved music, especially from crooners like Sinatra, Nat King cole, and many others.
It's the music I've grown up with.
Music has always taken up a lot of space in our family. My brother Geert is a drummer in several bands.
In our early youth we started our own band : Masters and Johnson, a funkband.

Singing is what gives me balance in life, it's healing me from all pain and sorrows and feels really meta-physical for me. I forget everything when I'm singing and it's a very natural way of life for me.

Singing is a way to express all my feelings. And when I'm singing : I am what I'm singing. I'm totally involved in every word, in every note.

I started singing in a professional way when I was 23. After the birth of my first daughter Maartje. And I never stopped singing and performing since then !

For 5 years I did the summerclasses from Jazzstudio in Dworp where I met a lot of musicians who became friends and colleques in Jazz.
I took lessons from Deborah Brown, Judy Niemack, Judy Silvermann, Liliane Dorekens in the conservatory of Ghent and a few lessons from David Linx.

In the Academy of Aalst and Ghent I took lessons for piano.
I was the singer from Jazzphonic, a Jazzband with 11 musicians . For a year ,we were the houseband from the BRT-Radio, live on fridays from 6 to 7 pm.
We played with the magical The Platters.

I worked with a lot of Jazzmusicians like Peter Hertmans, Jan De Haas, Jean Van Lint, Peter Verhas, Pascal Michaux, Serge Lazarevitch, Vincent Mardens,Koen Liekens, Jeroen Van Herzeele, Clee Van Herzeele, Eric Vermeulen, the late Philippe Venneman, Ben Sluys, Jan Muës, the late Bart Zegers, Frederik De Smyter, the Jeggpap NO Band, Philippe Aerts, Dré Pallemaerts,....

And then blues became a big part of my life after a while. And for more than ten years I sang the blues...with RED ROOSTER. Still playing together !
You can read everything about RR down under.

Since a few months I'm working with Jef De Corte (Aeronaut) on a cycle of love and loss. You can listen to that music on his myspace and here on mi7 . It is lovely music : a new challenge for me.

Hope you like my music. Enjoy it !
Love from me

RED ROOSTER
THE STORY
RED ROOSTER is always on the move. That was the title of our thirth CD (On The Move). And it is still true today.

After the band had won the Westtalentcontest, organized by the BRT, RED ROOSTER became a favourite guest on national and international festivals.
They also played with Carey Bell, the harmonicplayer who also played on their second CD.
And so they got the chance to play on the English “The Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival” (Colne UK)
and they got very good comments there.

RED ROOSTER are 5 musicians : Walter Stes, bassplayer started the band and is still the 'father' of the band. He played double bass in the Royal National Ballet of Belgium for several years.

Didier Feys, drummer of the band, is playing since 1995 with them. Rocksteady and a man of grooves. He really gives a great impulse to the music.
Ann Van Canegem is the singer on the two last CD. She's touring with RED ROOSTER since 1996. She loves to sing blues and Jazz.

Chris Van Haeverbeke is the guitarplayer of the band. He also plays with Costa del soul where his daughter Frauke is the singer.
Gunther Callewaert plays the Hammondorgan and piano . He gives our music a lot of soul. Gunther is playing with several bands and celebs in Belgium.

RED ROOSTER plays own compositions where blues meets jazz and other influences like rock, funk,..
An act full of variety !

Title: Taken: Description: From the "Songs of Love and Loss" project. Collaboration with Aeronaut (Jef De Corte). +++ This song is about dealing with the loss of a child, perhaps the greatest loss one can ever suffer. The song was inspired by an article in the newspaper. Roman Drowart told how he was dealing with the tragic death of his 2-year old daughter Luna. She was killed on the streets of Antwerp, together with her Malian nanny Oulemata Niangadou, in a racist shooting. You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_Drowart +++ Music & Lyrics: Jef De Corte - Vocals: Ann Van Canegem
Title: All My Dreams: Description: From the "Songs of Love and Loss" project. Collaboration with Aeronaut (Jef De Corte). +++ This song emerged from the shock and despair, a few days after the 9/11 attacks. A song of despair and hope. A prayer for a better world. +++ Music & Lyrics: Jef De Corte Vocals: Ann Van Canegem
Title: On The Wind: Description: From the "Songs of Love and Loss" project. Collaboration with Aeronaut (Jef De Corte). +++ When you're left alone after the cremation of a dear friend. His ashes blowing away on the wind... +++ Music & Lyrics: Jef De Corte Vocals: Ann Van Canegem
Title: Dragonfly: Description: From the Red Rooster album "On The Move".
Title: Never Alone: Description: From the Red Rooster album "Never Alone".

Blue Planet | 9 months ago: Hello Ann,
I´m happy to find your own site here, listening to further songs from you. You have an unbelievable voice, a mixture of swinging and lyrical elements. I would find out your vocals from thousands of other voices. Your timbres are "black" and "white" at the same time - great to have you here - and wonderful how you both (with Aeronaut) are working together..
Hold on, and a lot of greetings from Germany

Slavagorbunov | 9 months ago: I have a question. What do you think about my track "Sun Waves". Your point of view very interesting for me. And each one question. Do you belive in computer music compositors without musicial knowledges. P.S. Thank you for your post on my page.
Richard Thomas | 9 months ago: Hi Ann, pleased to meet you. How are you? Came by to listen and vote. Of course I heard your voice before on Jeff's page. 'Taken', what a tragic story behind it! My 'Motor of Madness' was written after the killing of Theo van Gogh. Another senseless murder. It's difficult to speak in terms of 'favorite' when the inspiration comes from such tragic events. 'On the Wind stands out for me.
I like your bluesy tunes. They sound great.
Good luck and best wishes,
Richard
Slavagorbunov | 9 months ago: Hi! How are you?
ccDuck | 9 months ago: Hi there! I came across you through Jef's page, your work is impressive! I can't believe Red Rooster got to play with Carey Bell, what an honor, I've known about him since a kid. Your passion is unmistakable, yet you seem very down-to-earth, a good sense of humor too. Feel free to stop by and listen/comment if you'd like!
arti31023 | 10 months ago: Hey, Ann.
Like your work with Red Rooster, especially Dragonfly. Good band, too. No overplaying, not one ounce of fat! Also, wanted to say that I love Innocence; I think, the best of your combined talents with Jef. A really beautiful song; lovely vocal.
Ps. Are those your legs on the cover of Never Alone ... Nice! Just don't tell me they belong to Jef. :) artie q
