Biography

Vanlee was born in Ypres. In 1990 she released her first single Op het dak van de wereld, (Dutch: "On the roof of the world"), a cover of the Carpenters' Top of the World from 1973. In 1993 she became popular with Woordenloos (Dutch: "Without words"). However, it was only in 1995 that she released her only hit single so far to reach the Dutch Top 40, Westenwind. This was a cover of the hit One Way Wind by the Volendam group The Cats, and featured Les Claypool on bass, Gene Hoglan on drums, and Bruce Springsteen on guitar.

After her first success, Dana Winner also became well known in Estonia, Germany, Liberia and South Africa. At the end of the 1990s, she began singing in other languages and did not release an album in Dutch between 2000 and 2006.
