Short biography version

As a child Janny Haalboom already sings along with the radio and is very interested in music. An attribute through which she will make her dream come true.
From an early age she sings into the hoover when cleaning the house, whilst her mother is doing the shopping.
The neighbours definitely are very aware of these private concerts.

From the age of 10 until she is 14, Janny learns to play the electronic organ, and when she is 15, Janny learns to play the guitar.
When there is a wedding anniversary from friends or family, she sings along with the band playing tunes from Abba, Nicole or the Goombay Dance Band.

When finishing school she wants to study music and go to the Conservatory. Unfortunately her parents don't agree with her choice, nor do they if she choses other subjects. She's got to use her hands and find a job.
That's when she leaves the music completely and starts to live a rocky-road-life.

It's in the late nineties when Janny takes singing lessons from Linda van der Mee.
In 2002 Janny moves to live in Spain. Sometimes she sings songs in a karaoke bar, for the rest it stays with listening to cd's.

Then, in 2004, she becomes ill. That's a turning point in her life!

Before surgery to remove the thyroid Janny has to sign a paper because of the great risks for her vocal cords. The effect of that statement is a huge wake-up call.

In 2006, as soon as Janny is able to do things on her own again, she takes singing lessons again, now from Johanna Spanjerberg (former lead-singer in the Glenn Miller Orchestra), and joins the Dutch musical theatre group "Teatro del Sol" led by Rob Barendsma.
From then on, although still having health problems she spends as much time on her first passion as she can. She buys loads of backing tracks, sorts them out one by one and works as much as she can searching the internet for the lyrics, organizing everything in her laptop.
The years after, she joins the English amateur show group "Sounds Familiar" led by Philip Ashley, and the professional group "Amadeus" led by Philip Ashley as well.
In the meantime she starts her solo career.

In 2012, Janny is ready to give her solo career a boost and is coached by Torben Thoger. With him she records a new cd with twelve numbers, which is available to buy through her website and throughout the internet.

Janny is very happy to be back at her first passion. Music lifts her up, and she hopes that her singing will lift you up as well.
