One page interview in Dutch Cosmopolitan (June issue)! You can read about how I got started, and I open up about something not everybody knows about me.. 

Instagram is so addictive!! :D You can follow me under ’marujaretana’, you can also check my account out here. After the jump some of my fav pics!

Lovelies! I am so happy with the new and improved look of my website (thanks to Brill Webdesign) :) Do you like it? Check back soon as I will post fun stuff regularly! I’ll also be putting old posts in the archive, so you can read all about what I’ve been up to in the past year. XOXO Maruja

Like many girls, I grew up reading and loving Cosmopolitan. I even wrote a biweekly column for their website when I was a student! You can imagine my excitement when editor in chief Claudia Straatmans herself asked me to perform at Cosmo’s 30th anniversary party. My girls and I performed a 20 min set of new material that I wrote over the last few months, and a mini-medley of my personal top 3 of 1982 ;)

Every time I visit London I love it more and more. The people are so creative and unafraid to express themselves. I had a wonderful time writing... and sitting all the way up top in those red buses :) (I  will always be 4 years old in my heart)... and maybe visiting a few pubs ;)
One song in particular that I’m obsessed with right now is a track called Siren that I wrote over there with the very talented Cass Lowe, check out a snippet here and let me know what you think!
