Chandeen was founded in 1990 in Germany by Oliver Henkel and Harald Löwy. Chandeen’s first singer - of Iranian descent - was Aline Akbari, who entered the band in 1991. The second singer, Antje Schulz, joined in 1992. Akbari and Schulz shared vocal responsibilities for the first two years. During the same year Oliver Rösch, founder of the world-famous label Hyperium Records, heard Chandeen and offered them record deal.
The group’s first album, Shaded By The Leaves, was recorded without Akbari who left the band some weeks before they were signed. The new singer, Catrin Mallon, sang with Schulz on the first Chandeen album.
In the autumn of 1994, Henkel and Löwy moved to Jutland, Denmark for six weeks to compose and produce the second album entitled Jutland. They created a deeply atmospheric album which had a lasting effect on the German underground scene. Ecki Stieg, the eye and the ear of the scene in 1995 says: “With Jutland, Chandeen created an album which will be a benchmark for all other bands in this genre. This is the best release in several years.” The album reached the top ten for more than 10 weeks in the German independent charts and Jutland remains the most startling and unique of Chandeen’s albums.
Mallon and Henkel left the band in late 1994 and Mallon was replaced by vocalist Stephanie Härich in the spring of 1995. The EP, Light Within Time was released siix months later, followed by the third album, The Waking Dream in 1996. Chandeen toured extensively in 1996 and became the spearhead of the German Heavenly Voices-Romantic scene.

No, Antje left the band. But why shouldn't she return... A duet by Antje and Julia would be cool. :-)
