Several years ago, I came to Nashville with a particular song that three other vocalists had backed out on for various reasons: death in the family, move out of state, and a scheduling conflict. I was ready to dump it, when the producer lined up Katrien whom I’d never met. Two bars in, I was crying. Shocker, I know.
She’s a powerhouse singer with a great personality.
I chose her for the two songs we recorded today because I knew her voice would be perfect for both and I was right.
About Marie de Haan
Marie is a gifted pianist, playing since the age of nine. As a teenager, she composed mainly instrumental piano music. She released her powerful debut single, “I Am Broken,” on October 22, 2020, a song whose creation drew heavily upon the trauma she endured as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Marie held a benefit concert on September 10, 2021, in Skagit County. A portion of the proceeds went to CrossRoads Youth Ranch; this local organization—through equine therapy—empowers “at-risk and sexually exploited youth to heal, grow, and thrive.” She has continued to write music: Christian, folk, and country. Marie loves hiking, gardening, and photography. The Pacific Northwest—where she lives with her husband—is the backdrop for her favorite activities.
