Caesarea, Israel
Keren Ann (born Keren Ann Zeidel in Caesarea, Israel, on March 10, 1974) is a singer/songwriter with dual Dutch-Israeli citizenship. She plays guitar, piano and clarinet and engineers and writes choir and musical arrangements. She is from Russian Jewish descent on her father’s side and Javanese-Dutch on her mother’s. She lived in the Netherlands and Israel until the age of 11, when her family moved to France.
Her first group, KAB (for Keren Ann Band), lasted three years. In 1997, she wrote the song “Father” for the film K by Alexandre Arcady, in which she also acted a small part. The next year, at the age of 24, she formed Shelby with two other women; the group released one album and had a small success with the song “1+1+1,” whose composer Benjamin Biolay would become an important collaborator. In 2000 she began her solo career with La biographie de Luka Philipsen — “Luka” in homage to the Suzanne Vega song, “Philipsen” after her maternal grandmother — written with and produced by Biolay, who also co-wrote and -produced its follow-up, La disparition. (In return, she helped write his debut album, Rose Kennedy). The pair also wrote several songs for Henri Salvador’s best-selling, prize-winning 2000 comeback album, Chambre avec vue.
Lady & Bird is a collaboration with Bardi Johannsson of the Icelandic group Bang Gang.

i love Keren. i don't consider bad, i only did a spontaneous voice thought... Carla and Keren sings different styles, but their voices are similar. is it bad? i don't think so... too many singers are similar, and it's not important to me.

I don't care whose voice she is similar to. Her music is different and talented.

flavor_of_life wrote:
Does it really matter how similar Keren Ann sounds to a fellow artist or what her nationality or religion are? You people put too much emphasis on petty things. Focus on her music and the fact that its beauty in a musical world filled with less-than-stellar compositions and delusional people who call themselves singers.
