Candee Jay biography

Candee Jay is a project of the producers Pronti and Kalmani (Alice Deejay). It features a solo vocalist, known under the name of Candee.

Candee was born on September 1st, 1981 and was raised in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. She was an extraordinary kid with enough self-confidence to know exactly what she wanted to become when she grew up : a star! She started her career by joining the ballet at the tender age of five. Whenever there was a table in somebody's living room, Candee would use it as a toy stage and start singing and dancing for everybody in the room. Besides standing out in her singing and dancing, she also proved to be multi-talented by modeling and acting in her early teens. Candee Jay continued to work hard and finished her education in several forms of music and dance. After that, she did not have to search for a long time for the right people to work with. Award-winning producers, Pronti & Kalmani, discovered her during one of her performances. "She's the type of girl that just can't get enough of entertaining people. That is one of the main reasons why we love working with her” they say. Together they are now working on the highly anticipated debut album. "It's going to be very special and very personal, with a large variety of songs. It's not only a great album to dance to before you go out, but also something that you want to listen to when you feel emotional" Candee avows. "My first single is called If I Were You and is about how lost you can feel, when your heart is in someone else's hands. It makes you want to scream: "If I were you, I would never let me go..."

Fans all around the world are discovering the magic of Candee Jay and her music. "The dance music culture has become universal; it's colour-blind and brings people together from all nations. I'm very proud to be a part of this movement. I love to see people party to my music, no matter where I go. I think it’s the best feeling in the world. Give me a beat and I start dancing..."

August 2003 : If I Were You was featured on the compilation Trance Party 3, which stayed in Billboard Top Electronic Albums top 10 after more then 6 weeks.

November 2003 : If I Were You was officially released in the US.

2004 : the follow-up single was entitled Back For Me. Her debut album Electrifying was released.

2005 : Candee Jay released her thirs single Lose This Feeling. The video was shot in the Dutch Caribbean, on the sunny island of Curacao. Bringing all the film equipment to the tropics did bring some problems at the customs; the whole crew was arrested and after everything was checked they could finally start the shoot. The next day it was even headlining the local newspapers! During the filming Candee fell in love with Sasha and Sarah the two dolphins. Saying goodbye was very emotional. The filming took 6 days because of the extreme conditions. Besides the burning heat of the sun the crew were also in the middle of heavy rain fall, because of the rain season...

In April, the single was #1 in Music Week Breakers Chart in the Netherlands. The singles was released in the UK on the 16th of May.
