Greetings! friends! how are you! Thanks for staying with us!

I bring this super-interview with another star within the metal that is being born! and here she gives us the opportunity to know a little more of it!

A little info about the La Vero:

The Vero was born on July 28th, 1982 in Eindhoven.
I was named Veronique Catharina Theresia Meeuwsen
But thats too long for an artist name, So I'm using my nickname "Vero" and using the French article for female "LA" to create a name for my modeling & singing

Now I leave this to herself! thank you very much! my friend!



hello my friends! ¿ how are you? Thanks for this opportunity! know who you are! for all your fans too!

Hello Darkzen JR vader,

im doing verry well. Thanks for asking. Most of all, i am verry exite about The new path im gonna walk on.

My Artist name is La Vero but my family and friends till are calling me Veronique. Im 31 years jong and live in The Netherland.

¿Have you been my friend?

We met on FB and i love u, for your friendship & support.


¿The Vero tell who is? what's your story?

As a child i already sing in a choir and had musical lessens. I sung and played the violin.
Also trough my student years i sung in the school band.
When i was 14 i joined a blues and jazz cover band from a friend of my father. Lurned a lot by those gigs.
Later on i was exepted to the concervatorium but because of my health issues i could not start.
Had a few magor belly operations.
Same when i was scouted to sing in The internationale traveling musical " Hair".
All because i suffer from a bad Crohn's disease, and now have a permanent ilio-stoma.
But i never stopped singing.

Did some studio backvocals, enterd contests and did join a locale revue-theater show.
Also this could not had a follow up, because i had to undertake another few big operations, were the did not give me much chance of surviving or recovering.
Lucky i did, but after those operations i thought never to sing again.
Than 2 years ago faith kicked me in the head. I was, although i have Bin sterelized, pragnent with twins.
But during the pragnentsy i was dying because of a ilius and had to deliver my baby.
My son was just 2 weeks to young for couveuse so he died in my hands.
All this time i was singing to him.

So Nightwish's " turn loos the mermaids" became " Joey's song. His sister i never sow, she had already died and she had to be remover surgently.
Holding my Son i promest him, because he had give his life for me to live.... To never give up.
So, to still keep my bond with music, i started to work as a Merch girl on europian tours and festivals.

There i met people who had so much trust and support in my singing and who i am, that earlyer this year, i desited to give it one more try.

Put a band together and start singing again.

¿Tell us, that do you do? as you get into this medium?

Im a Merch girl for bands who have Europian tours and i do the official Merch at festivals.

Also I premote starting bands and now are ready to go back to the stage myself again.

¿What genres of metal that you like? what are your hobbies?

Im a big fan of heavy Metal, symphonic Metal and Female fronted bands. But that does not mean, i dont love the other styles of Metal. Im a all rounder.

My hobbies are: traveling, selling Merch, singing, modeling, acting, see other bans play, dancing and read a good book or see a nice movie ones in a while.


¿You're a singer, model, songwriter what you like best of all those skills?

That you are able to tell a story, share different emotions and are able to express yourself trough different art forms. I can't shoose just one form. They are all dear to me and a part of who I am.

¿I know you will formed your musical group, tell us which style will be?

We still are buzzy to really find our own sound, as we just starting.

But i think that you can expect a mix between Symphonic and heavy Metal, with a tutch of Prog. A female and a male voice, dubble bass drum, heavy bass and great guitar riffs.

Everything a true Metal fan get goosebumbs from.

¿What are your musical influences?

Promes to not laugh, cause it's everything BUT metal hahaha

Classic music, Bette Midler , Shirley Bassey, Pink, Queen, Michael Jackson, Shania Twain, Beth Hart..... and all the musicals & Disney classics.

Lately i get inspiration from 4 bands:

Nightwish, sin7sins , ACYL and the band who unfortunately split up: trail of tears.

Darkzen: wow! that curious!

¿Who were your teachers singing?

As I said before I studied in a music school, had lessons in college, lurned to sing in a choir & also revue and lately followed lessons by Dianne van Giersbergen ( ex-libres / Xandria )

Also had the master class from Floor Jansen.

During the Kitee nightwish days I will get vocal coaching from the teacher behind Nightwish.

I'm incredible honerd those amazing people took and will take me under there wings.

¿We want to convey to the world inside the metal, with your new band?

What I want most with my music is that it will really tutch a few hearts. That they find confort and a place inside the music where they can let it out.....Cry, be angry, feel lost and overwhelmed, to finally find the strength to built them-self up again.

And not to forget, also just be happy and enjoy our music. My wish is that our music will heal people and give them strength to go on, as Nightwish and Trail of tears had done for me.

And of course also back there heads to end enjoy.

¿That surprises you'll have us? some advance?

Hahaha follow my page on FB and you will find out in time.
As we are still building one our music, I can't reveal anything jet.
But make sure to tune on one the Kitee Nightwish day's, live broadcasting of the last concert.

It's gonna be big!!!
