Dana Winner

Born Chantal Vanlee in Hasselt in 1965, Dana Winner found fame in the early '90s with Flemish cover versions of the Carpenters' "On Top of the World" ("Op Het Dak van de Wereld") and the Cats' "One Way Wind" ("Westenwind"). Guided by Belgian composer Jean Kluger, she released her debut album, Mijn Paradijs, in 1994 and went on to achieve success in South Africa and Germany at the end of the decade after recording material in various different languages. The ensuing years saw Winner continuing to rake in the accolades, both at home and abroad, via chart-topping singles like 2007's "Wenn Du Lachst" and critically acclaimed albums such as 2014's Bloom and 2016's Puur. ~ Jon O'Brien
