Kate Ryan Biography

Kate Ryan is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on July 22, 1980 in Tessenderlo, Belgium. Kate Ryan (born Katrien Verbeeck; 22 July 1980) is a Belgian singer and songwriter, and the winner of a World Music Award. She began her singing career in 2001 and later found fame with a string of dance hits. These included covers, mostly of Mylène Farmer and France Gall, such as “Désenchantée”, “Libertine”, and “Ella, elle l’a”, and Desireless’ “Voyage Voyage”, as well as new material. Ryan represented Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with “Je t’adore” coming in 12th place in the semi-final.

In 2006, the singer participated in Eurosong ’06, the national final to select the entrant for Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006. She was selected as the entrant after placing first in the Eurosong final on 9 March 2006. Ryan represented Belgium at the Eurovision semi-final held on 18 May 2006 in Athens singing “Je t’adore”. However, she did not qualify for the final, finishing two places outside the advancing Top 10 (12th) with 69 points. She was later voted best dressed performer by Eurovision’s independent website esctoday.com for her €14.000 outfit, later sold to raise charity funds. The following single was “Alive”, taken from the album of the same name, which also featured French versions of several tracks including “Je t’adore”, “Alive”, and the third single, “All for You”. The album, although critically acclaimed, did not repeat the success of the two previous ones.

Both tracks (as well as “Voyage Voyage” and “We All Belong”) were included on her album Free, which was released in the middle of the year. The album included a duet with Spanish singer Soraya Arnelas. Ryan’s first best-of album, Essential, was released in July. It included songs recorded throughout her EMI period. In August she took part in Polish Sopot Hit Festival. During the show she received a Gold award for the Free album in Poland. On 9 November 2008 in Monaco, she won the World Music Award for Best Selling Benelux Artist. Two more singles promoted Free, including “I Surrender”.

2009 saw the release of the concept album French Connection. It was a compilation consisting of only French-language material, including Ryan’s previous hits, and adding some new recordings. “Évidemment” and “Babacar”, both from France Gall’s repertoire, were released as singles, but met with limited success, as did the album. The singer announced that French Connection was the end of an era, and from now on she will only release material written by her. She received a Multi-Platinum award from Spain for selling more than 300.000 digital songs.

In 2004, Ryan released a second album in Europe, titled Stronger, that also contained her remarkable dance-pop style. The album’s lead single, “Only If I”, met with a modest success across Europe. A cover of Cock Robin’s “The Promise You Made” became the second single, earning even greater success. It was also recorded in French as “La Promesse”. Pop ballad “Goodbye” was released as the third single, meeting with considerable success. In 2005 Kate Ryan’s music appeared in North America on Water Music Records.
