sweetaloha's Profile

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who's either visited my profile page, left me a comment, or wrote something in my guestbook. SingSnap has really changed my life, and I've met some awesome people here, who not only get my love for music, but who are just as crazy about it themselves! :))) I'd also like to explain what my name means, because people keep thinking I'm from Hawaii, which I'm not, lol... ;) Sweet Aloha is the title of a song by my favorite band Venice... so I called myself sweetaloha to honor them and that wonderful song :) Anyway, I'm Astrid, a 26-year-old music lovin' rock chick from the Netherlands. I've been singing for as long as I can remember, and according to my mom, I could sing before I could talk!! I joined my first choir when I was seven years old, and I've been singing in choirs and by myself ever since. Right now I'm in a choir that does musicals, and in September 2007 we finally put our musical, Dick Turpin, on stage!! We got rave reviews, and a whole bunch of standing ovations... and almost all of the shows were sold out!! :) Right now we're working on our new show, which is going to be even bigger and more spectacular than Dick Turpin... It's a fairy tale that a bunch of our members wrote, with pop and musical songs mixed in... We're performing it next May, and I can't wait to be back on stage again! :) Anyway, as I said, I'm a rock chick, and I also love musicals. Some of my favorite bands/artists are: Venice (a close harmony rock band from the States (but they're waaaay more popular over here in Holland); they sound a lot like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, the Eagles, the Beach Boys, that kind of stuff), Queen, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Eagles, Beach Boys, Little River Band, Hanson, Green Day, Bon Jovi, The Cranberries, The Corrs, Alanis Morissette, Avril Lavigne, Celine Dion, Sheryl Crow, Shania Twain, Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Jessica Andrews, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts... I could go on and on!! ;) And a couple of my favorite musicals: Rent, Wicked, Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Evita, Hair, The Lion King, The Sound of Music, Jesus Christ Superstar, Hairspray... The list goes on and on! ;) I've even been lucky enough to see some of these musicals myself. I saw The Lion King in Scheveningen, and I saw Phantom in Las Vegas in November 2007... That was awesome!! :) Last August I also saw two musicals in London: Les Misérables, and my absolute favorite musical Wicked... I still can't describe how awesome that was! :) Of course I also have other interests aside from singing/music: watching tv, collecting DVD boxes of tv shows that I love, going to the movies, playing computer games (especially World of Warcraft), reading (I love all kinds of books, but I especially like fantasy (right now I'm rereading The Lord Of The Rings), and I'm also a total Harry Potter geek ;) ), cooking... and lots more!! I study French, and one day (when I grow up ;) ) I want to be a translator. I'm also on MySpace, although I don't update it a lot... ;) www.myspace.com/astrid_nl. Add me!
