Belgian trance diva Dee Dee scored a Europe-wide hit in the summer of 2002 with Forever, and is a close associate of fellow trance heads Ian Van Dahl.
The statuesque lady is currently recording her debut album.
We caught up with her to get the lowdown on her favourite things – for Christmas and beyond…
musicOMH: Of all the things that have happened this year, which do you find is most memorable?
Dee Dee: Actually it was a whole memorable year for me. I did a lot of gigs and I toured all over the world, and that gave me the opportunity to see different countries, which I normally don’t get to see.
musicOMH: If you were awarding a prize for Person Of The Year, who would win?
Dee Dee: Definitely my colleague Anne Mie Coenen of Ian Van Dahl. I think she’s a very strong person, and I think for sure she would be the right person to win that award!
musicOMH: What’s happened this year in Belgium that’s been memorable for you?
Dee Dee: That would be a big TV show I did, not far from home. It was so great cause all my friends where there on the front row supporting me! It gives a great feeling knowing that all my friends are still there for me.
musicOMH: What does Christmas make you think of?
Dee Dee: A lot of presents! No, I still think Christmas is something you have to celebrate with your family and also with a big Christmas tree, a lot of food, and it definitely would be great to see some snowflakes falling through my window! I like the ways the streets are decorated in Christmas time, it gives me a comfortable feeling.
musicOMH: Which song most reminds you of Christmas and why?
Dee Dee: That would be Last Christmas by Wham. Just because it’s a song I used to hear a lot in Christmas-time, when I was younger, and it gives me a special Christmas feeling.
musicOMH: Which Christmas song do you most despise/love the most and for what reason?
Dee Dee: I really don’t like White Christmas by Bing Crosby, because I think it’s boring. The song I love the most is All I Want For Christmas by Mariah Carey. I think it’s a fantastic song!
musicOMH: And which ones would you take back to the shop to get your money back?
Dee Dee: I don’t think there is one! My father is a DJ and he keeps all the CDs – even the bad ones…
