Person properties

General info :
Geike Arnaert (born 13 September 1979, Heuvelland, Belgium) is a Belgian singer, best known for being the lead vocalist of the band Hooverphonic from 1997 until 2008.

According to Alex Callier, when the band was looking for new lead singer, he asked Geike "It is almost schoolbreak, in September you'll be 18 years old, do you want to be our singer?". She immediately said: "Yes, that's OK!".

After more than 10 years in the band, on 10 October 2008, Arnaert announced she would leave Hooverphonic by the end of the year to pursue her solo career. Geike's last concert with Hooverphonic was on 13 December of that year, in Tele-Club, Ekaterinburg, Russia.
In February 2016, 7 years after her last performance with the band, Geike performed "Mad About You" together with Hooverphonic, for a special event of the Radio2 in Belgium.

In 2010 Geike was brought together with Spinvis to work on the soundtrack of Breath (original title: Adem), a Belgian film about young people who suffer from mucovisidosis. Having written more material than needed for the film, they released a record. They called themselves Dorleac for the occasion.

In 2011 Geike released her first solo album, "For The Beauty Of Confusion."

She recorded the historical French song "Le temps des cerises" with the legendary singer-songwriter and entertainer Bobbejaan Schoepen for his 2008 album "Bobbejaan", his first album in 35 years. A music video for the song was also released.

Geike has also sung as a guest vocalist for various artists such as Ozark Henry, Flip Kowlier and Tom Helsen.

Geike contributed vocals to "Mijn Leven" (My Life), the final single by Belgian rapper Vijvenveertig (Andy Sierens). The song was recorded two weeks before Sierens died of cancer.

In 2017 she had a N°1 hit with Zoutelande in the Netherlands recorded together with Bløf.
