After graduating she completed her studies at the UdK Berlin where she started learning composing.

The other members, Thijs Cuppen (piano), Sven Schuster (bass), Klaas van Donkersgoed (drums), are well known in the Dutch jazz scene. Sven Schuster released his second cd "Shooster" in 2004 as well.
The German newspaper "Amberger Zeitung" wrote 2003 about the band and their compositions: "Young, courageous and fresh,... from aggressive to soft, from monotone to explosive".
The Dutch "Muziekwereld" 10/04 wrote about the cd "Nocturne":
" ...The music is romantic, dreamy and when the Fender Rhodes sneaks in you can visualize the smoke of diverse herbs and flavours of sweet pleasure..."
