Alice DeeJay was a Dutch electronic music group, who achieved success from 1999 to 2002.
The group consists of record producers Pronti (born Eelke Kalberg), Kalmani (born Sebastiaan Molijn) and DJ Jurgen, with lead singer Judith Pronk (born 8 December 1973, in Amsterdam) and background dancers Mila & Angelique. The group released their material on the Violent Music record label.
Alice DeeJay launched their career in July 1999 with the single, "Better Off Alone", an accessible and upbeat Eurotrance tune. In the UK, the song went platinum and reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart. The group also achieved success with the follow-up single "Back In My Life" in November of the same year.
The group's first and, to date, only album is Who Needs Guitars Anyway?, which was released on April 11, 2000. The album contains upbeat, popular trance tracks, and entered the Top Ten of the UK Albums Chart.
Alice DeeJay made the UK Top 20 with three more tracks: "Will I Ever", "The Lonely One" and "Celebrate Our Love", although each single's chart position was lower than its predecessor's one.
Alice DeeJay won the Award for their hit single, Better Off Alone, in the category Best Chart Act, defeating other nominees such as All Saints, Jennifer Lopez, Eiffel 65 and the Vengaboys.
The group has not performed publicly since November 9, 2002, when they played seemingly their last gig in Utrecht.
A new act was formed in 2004 called Candeejay it was very similar to this act but failed after only 2 major hits and the project was abandoned. Judith Pronk went on tour many times with this act.
