Astrid de Backer was born in 1949 in Amsterdam. She has been a singer for almost her whole life. Blessed with a very low contralto voice, she has her own unique sound. After several years of professional singing lessons and performing in several bands, (including two English singles), in 1974 she recorded 'Ik doe wat ik doe' (I do what I do), which became a big hit in the Netherlands. The lyrics were written by her ex-husband Lennaert Nijgh, and the music by Astrid herself.
