A Career in the Spotlight

Astrid has worked in many creative fields, from playing music to starring on television.

A Start in Music

Astrid is a talented musician who was trained as a classical violinist. She began playing the violin in 1987 when she was only four years old. For over ten years, she performed on different TV shows and in concerts.

In 2008, she started a career as a singer. She helped write and compose her first song, "You Know I Would." This song was even featured on the soundtrack for the movie The Pool Boys. A year later, in 2009, she released her first album, called 'Taking Over'.

Reality TV Star

In 2011, Astrid became the star of her own reality show, Astrid in Wonderland. The show followed her life and was a big hit, running for five seasons on the Belgian channel VijfTV. In 2012, the show also became popular in the Netherlands, where it was shown on the channel NET 5.

In 2017, she starred in a new TV series called Astrid, which also aired on VijfTV.

A few months later, she released her own perfume, also called Astrid in Wonderland. She then worked with the famous nail polish brand OPI Products to create her own line of colors. This made her the first celebrity in Europe to have her own OPI collection.
