Life and career
1994–98: Beginnings and Life Is Just a Game
van der Kolk was born on September 16, 1974 in IJmuiden, Netherlands. In 1991, she met DJ and producer DJ Sammy at Zorba's Club in El Arenal Mallorca. In 1992, DJ Sammy became resident DJ at the Joy Palace Club in El Arenal, while van der Kolk was a resident dancer there, for whom she started to be a background singer for live performances. She soon adopted the stage name "Carisma" and performed as a freatured artist on DJ Sammy's music. In 1996, they released their first singles "Life is Just a Game" and "You Are My Angel", which was their first hit. In 1997, with the release of their third single "Prince of Love", they scored a Top 30 hit, followed by the singles "Golden Child" and "Magic Moment". DJ Sammy's debut studio album Life Is Just A Game, which heavily involved van der Kolk on vocals, peaked at 62 in the German album chart. In the Summer of 1998. van der Kolk came up with a new project called Loona (leaned on the Spanish word "luna" for "moon"), also produced by DJ Sammy. Originally started as a Duo, DJ Sammy stayed in the background for music videos and cover arts. The first single, which also appeared as a bonus track on Life is Just a Game, was a cover of Paradisio's song "Bailando" and it became the summer song of 1998 in Germany, reaching the number 1 of the German charts and Echo-awarded as "Best International Dance Single". By Autumn, it was followed by another single "Hijo de la Luna" (a cover of the Spanish band Mecano) which also reached number 1 on the German charts. These two singles sold millions and became gold- and platinum selling records in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

La Playa
by: ChayanneCuando la playa se inundó de luz y sol
Y cuando el mar con su rumor
hablo de amor
Cuando soñaba en el azul
Fue realidad este soñar
Llegaste tú
Flor de un verano nuestro
amor tal vez será
Que una fatal brisa otoñal marchitará
Fin de mi sueño de ilusión
Y en este playa
Naufragará mi corazón
Y sequirá igual
Arena y mar
La playa en soledad
Se quedará
El eco de su voz se extinguirá
Las huellas de los dos
Se borrarán
Cuando en la playa
Nuevamente brille el sol
Allí estaré y junto al mar recordaré
Evocaré la inmensidad
De nuestro amor
Que me brindó felicidad
Has de volver
