Deurne, Belgium

An Pierlé (born An Miel Mia Pierlé in Deurne, Belgium in December 13, 1974) is a pianist and singer-songwriter.

She supposedly declared that at a very young age she decided that she would be an actress, singer, musician and dancer, most preferably all at the same time. She studied classical piano, but practically hated her education. She enrolled at the age of 17 at the art-school Studio Herman Teirlinck in Antwerp. In her third year there she made a solo-programme with songs of her own, alone at the piano. Shortly after she became known to a moderately wide audience in 1996 when she entered Humo’s Rock Rally with a tape of her own version of Are ‘Friends’ Electric?, originally sung by Tubeway Army. The song ended up on Random, a tribute album to Gary Numan (of the Tubeway Army), who says he was impressed by An’s version.

After this, An toured for two years with a theatre group, and starred in a Belgium television series (“Moeder, waarom leven wij”), gave a few solo performances and collaborated with DAAU on their song “Broken”, where she sings all of the vocals.

In 1998 she signed a record deal with Warner Music Benelux. This resulted in her first album titled Mud Stories, completely in singer-songwriter fashion. Most of the album was recorded on electric piano in the winter of 1998 and 1999 in the attic of a theatre in Gent. The extra acoustic piano parts were done in the spring of 1999. This resulted in a range of songs with very little production.

Marius, I've been wondering the same thing... I checked she's on Facebook, but I wouldn't know what to write to her... Probably I should ask her and leave a comment here...

Does anybody know what An has been doing since White Velvet? Her website (http://www.white-velvet.com) has not been active for quite a while now, on her website http://www.anpierle.net/ is only a text in Japanese or Chinese. Only her My Space profile seems to be active. But when will she play concerts again, and when will a new CD be recorded? What to do without any new songs from An Pierlé? Help!

She's just cute, but is her music as beautiful ? She has kind of a disastrous listeners/listened track ratio ...

Just an observation of Last.fm's similarity ranking, I would say that An Pierlé is much more similar to Tori Amos than she is to De Mens.
