Renske Taminiau

Renske Taminiau is one of twins. Her sister Caat has inspired her to write. She’s a Dutch, 28-year-old, jazz-trained singer, who graduated from the Conservatory of Amsterdam in 2007. She almost became a doctor, (studying medicine at the university) but changed to music studies, when she found, while she was busy preparing a brain in class, that picking your brains for lyrics and songs was much more appealing than brain anatomy. After high school she enrolled in the Newcastle College of Music, which she chose because it was founded by Sting.
