Singing In The Car

August 1, 2024

I wrote a short note to Katrien—she has sung three of my songs now—on Facebook, “Hey, I wanted to let you know that I sang my little heart out to the master of “Got My Life Back” in the car this morning on the way home from the chiropractor. You took the lead vocal. I took the harmonies. We sounded amazing together. 😉 I only cried once. Just got a little overtaken by emotion.😭 And since my husband wasn’t with me, I cranked it as loud as I could without blowing the speakers: the best way to listen to that song.😂

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.
