Dee Dee is a dance music project from A&S Productions in Belgium. The group consitsts of vocalist Diana Trippaers, producers Christophe Chantzis, Erik Vanspauwen & Tommie Kidjemet. Dee Dee were successful across Europe in the early 2000s with a string of Eurodance tracks which included the massive hit which was "Forever" which peaked at #12 in the UK Singles Chart. The gorgeous Diana grew up in Genk in Belgium and started to show her love for music at a young age, her love for music grew, her father was (and still is) a DJ so she grew up with all kinds of music, at the age of 5 she started to spin her dad's Madonna records and sing along in the basement, that soon became her "sacred place" where she could dance and sing after school and in her spare time without anybody seeing or hearing her. Although she studied to be a beautician, writing poems, writing songs, listening to music and dancing all the time were her main activities during the school years. On a night out, she meets Tommie Kidjemet, he was looking for a girl who was able to sing and write songs, after a little talk Diana decided to take this opportunity and try a voice test in the studio of his co-producers Christophe Chantsiz and Erik Vanspauwen, this was Diana's possibility to meet the guys behind the project Absolom and were also having a smash hit with Ian Van Dahl's "Castles In The Sky" at that time. After a few weeks she took a voice test and the three guys were very exited about the result, the foursome spent a couple of months in the studio, and started to produce and write songs which developed into their first record called "Forever"! Signed and approved by Stefan Wuyts, manager of A&S records at that time and already having two hits with Lasgo's "Something" and Ian Van Dahl's "Castles In The Sky", "Forever" came out as a white label record. Quickly the promotion record with no name turned out to be a huge in the clubs, almost every DJ picked the record up and played it and many people could sing along but no one could find out who the girl was who sang it or what the project was. "Forever" was released July 19th 2001 on vinyl by A&S recordings, On august 2nd 2001 it entered the Belgian dance chart at #6... This was not a bad start at all! Dee Dee did their first TV performance together with the CD single release on September 3rd 2001, the result was fabulous, Dee Dee spends almost 10 weeks in the official Belgian top 20. This result combined with the pile of vinyl's exported, resulted in many license demands from E.M.I, Ministry of Sound and Robins Entertainment with releases in Spain, Hungary, Italy, Germany, Australia, Israel, Italy, Denmark, The Netherlands, USA and the UK, 39 countries altogether! It reached a Golden Record in Hungary, Nominated "Best Dance" in WMC awards in Miami , #1 in German Dance charts, almost a top 10 in the UK top 40, included with BBC Top Of The Pops performance and UK club tour. Later followed up in 2003 with the second single called "The One". Again this was proving a real success, with lot's of radio airplay, number one charts worldwide, Belgian top 20 charts, nominated for the famous "Donna Awards" at that time and big USA-UK tour! During 2003 saw the release of "Pour Toujours" (French version of Forever) released with Independence Records in France. That's were it all ended, 2004 promised a full album with 17 finished tracks but they never reached release, Dee Dee silently disappeared from the dance scene, nobody knew what happened and a lot of fans were disappointed never to hear the unreleased Dee Dee songs. After a 5 year break, Kindervater Feat Nadja covered the massive hit, that was "Forever" and revived the Dee Dee classic but a lot of fans wanted the "Real Dee Dee" back!
