My parents gave me my first drum kit when I was 4 years old.
I was thrilled! This was a new challenge for me.
At high school I was still fascinated with drumming, but because the schoolband had a drummer already, I was forced to play other percussion instruments.
It turned out I really liked the congas. Especially the freedom I felt while playing in that upright position really got me going. Not only the freedom of movement while playing, but also the fact that you can sing at the same time really appealed to me.
All in all, I started playing rather late, even though I was always involved in music, singing and dancing. My mother is a dancer, so I grew up within that world. I took lessons and attended workshops with several music teachers, went to a lot of jam sessions and, of course, listened intensely to and followed my, soon to be, colleague percussionists all around.
In the beginning of my career I played in a lot of different bands, through which I've learned and encountered many different styles of music, such as pop, funk, soul, rock, world music and dance. Later on I worked with several famous Dutch artists. Through the years I worked in almost all theatres, stadiums and big concert halls in Europe.
I also collaborated in countless school concerts, company workshops and music clinics.
And up until this day I just can’t stop doing it!
Have Fun! Greetings, Femke Krone
