JANN grew up in a very artistic family and has been playing the violin since she was seven years old. At the age of fourteen she attended the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. While there, she decided to not only study the violin but to also start singing lessons. In 1993 she was asked by Mini and Maxi to perform, as singer and violinist, in their theatre show “Scherzo”. This show ran for four years, both nationally and internationally. She completed her study in 1997 and started with the recording of her début album “Jann” – a CD with jazz ballades, which was released in 1998. She has been part of the Herman van Veen group since 1998.


I have been playing with Jannemien for so long. I saw and heard her for the first time as an enthusiastic violinist and singer in the musical clown show Mini and Maxi. I enjoy her cheerfulness, her effort and her talent. Apart from what she is doing with us, she is also regularly active in studios as voice actress and is creating more furore as singer under the name Jann. It is well with us.
