Hannelore Bedert

Belgian singer/songwriter Hannelore Bedert was born in Deerlijk in 1984 and while studying cabaret at the Herman Terilinck Instituut, she formed the English-language Baroque pop outfit Rheen, who released the 2006 album Days Ago before splitting up that same year. After releasing her debut EP, Janker, and subsequent full-length, Wat Als, both of which were recorded in her native West Flemish tongue, she collaborated with Bart Peeters on "Zonder Woorden," a track from his 2008 LP De Hemel in Het Klad. Her second studio effort, Uitgewist, arrived in 2011. ~ Jon O'Brien
