LOONA’s story began in the early 90s, when Marie-José van der Kolk left her hometown in the Netherlands for what was supposed to be a simple summer job on Mallorca. What started as a short adventure quickly turned into the first step of an international music career.

​​​​

With a background in professional dance and theatre, Marie found her way naturally into music. Inspired by electronic sounds, Latin rhythms and pop melodies, she developed a style that would soon become unmistakable. Under the name LOONA, she broke through internationally with feel-good dance-pop anthems that defined an era and dominated charts across Europe and beyond.​​

​

Over the years, LOONA sold millions of records worldwide, achieved multiple number one hits and performed on stages across Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and the US. Her music blends energy, emotion and summer vibes, always driven by her distinctive voice and strong stage presence.

After reinventing herself several times throughout her career, LOONA remains a constant force in live entertainment.

Today, she continues to connect generations with new releases, modern productions and unforgettable shows, staying true to what has always defined her: music that feels like summer, freedom and movement.
