Marie Jose Van der Kolk, aka Loona, is an award-winning Dutch pop singer and dancer with an exuberant dancefloor-filling sound rooted in EDM and Latin pop. She found mainstream success after teaming up with Spanish disc jockey and producer DJ Sammy and issuing the gold- and platinum-selling singles "Bailando" and "Hijo de la Luna," both of which appeared on her 1999 debut album, Lunita. Loona parted ways with DJ Sammy after the release of 2005's Wind of Time and continued to top the German, Austrian, and Swiss charts into the 2010s and beyond with acclaimed efforts like Rakatakata (Un Rayo de Sol) (2013) and Badam (2016). She celebrated three decades in the business in 2020 by releasing the career-spanning compilation Stars.
