Sarah Bettens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sarah Bettens-Wills (born September 23, 1972, Kapellen) was the former lead singer of the Belgian band K's Choice. She, with her brother Gert Bettens, is the face of the band. She is known for her enigmatic, smoky, raspy, husky voice. The band was popular in Belgium, the Netherlands and France, and had toured in the U.S. with The Verve Pipe, Tonic, Alanis Morissette and the Indigo Girls, as well as on their own. Sarah had maintained a successful solo career as well by providing vocals for music soundtracks, including "Wild Things", "Zus and Zo" and more recently "Leef!".

In 2003 K's Choice decided to split ways for a while, with siblings Gert and Sarah exploring solo projects. Sarah made a mini-album of her own, called Go. Her first full-length solo album, Scream, was released in Europe on March 14, 2005, and in the USA on August 23, 2005. Sarah currently lives in the USA.

She has one tattoo on her forearm: the letter S curling into a wave which is a cover up for a Celtic-like cross she initially sported.

Sarah has had a large lesbian fanbase since the beginning of her career with K's Choice, but it wasn't until recently that she came out of the closet. She discusses this on FaceCulture.nl, as well as on AfterEllen.com.
