Geike is often described as a smart, sweet and open person despite her apparent coldness and ambiguity on stage, though she prefers keeping her private life far from the media. Geike has sung as a guest vocalist for Ozark Henry and various other artists. Her plans to go solo are in the works, but not confirmed. Currently she is recording the new Hooverphonic CD.
