Astrid van der Veen (born February 26, 1986 in Emmeloord, The Netherlands) is a Dutch singer. She currently lives in Emmeloord.
van der Veen recorded her first solo album Beautiful Red in 2000, which will be rereleased as a special edition in 2006. She produced the album herself, and it is described as "alternative easy listening pianomusic". In 2005, she released a second solo album called Seamless Borderline, which was made available on the website of her current band, theEndorphins [1].
She is especially known for being the singer on Arjen Lucassen's Ambeon project, which released one album (Fate of a Dreamer) and a single (Cold Metal), both in 2001. The Cold Metal song was also featured on the Ayreonauts Only project (2000).
van der Veens's official website (in Dutch) is no longer accessible since 2005, but a translated version made by a fan is accessible on astridvanderveen.nl. It does however not seem to be updated anymore.
