Mini bio
How it started.
Born Katrien Verbeeck in Tessenderlo, Kate learned piano and guitar before joining the group Melt. Meeting producer Andy Janssens led to her solo career and the 2001 single “Scream for More.”
The French connection.
Her 2002 dance version of Mylène Farmer’s “Désenchantée” brought her to listeners across Europe. “Libertine,” Desireless’s “Voyage, voyage” and France Gall’s “Ella, elle l’a” became part of her catalogue, with Different and Free among the albums behind those years.
Beyond the covers.
Kate represented Belgium at Eurovision in 2006 with “Je t’adore,” which she co-wrote. Later came Electroshock and collaborations including “Gold” with Sam Feldt. In 2025 and 2026 she added “Casser la voix,” “Désenchantée 3000” with Blasterjaxx and shows celebrating 25 years of her career.
