ABOUT ME

Heya,

I am Carlijn from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I am 26 years old and grew up in a little town near by Amsterdam.

Music is basically my life. I sing and play jazzy bluesy indie- cello (with loop) and have my own songs. Currently I am working on my first album.

I travelled a lot, with my Orchestras and by myself. This provided me many memorable and wonderful times.

I am an enthusiastic, positive, open minded, easygoing and fun person and I love to meet new people!!
