Biografie

De Nederlandse saxofonist CANDY DULFER staat te popelen om weer te doen waar ze het beste in is: met haar band de weg op gaan en haar ‘funky stuff’ aan het publiek over de hele wereld brengen. Ze kan niet wachten om weer live op te treden, haar nieuwe nummers te delen, en de helende kracht van muziek te brengen na de uitdagingen van 2020 en 2021.

Candy Dulfer werd meer dan 30 jaar geleden beroemd door haar samenwerkingen met Dave Stewart (“Lily was here”) en Prince. Hun samenwerking ging door met vele studio-opnames, tv-optredens, award shows, en wereldtournees, waaronder Prince’s ‘Musicology’ tour.

Candy heeft gewerkt met grote namen als Van Morrison, Maceo Parker, Sheila E., Lionel Richie, Beyoncé, Pink Floyd, en Nile Rodgers. Ondanks deze samenwerkingen richtte Candy zich vooral op haar solocarrière. Haar eerste soloalbum ‘Saxuality’ leverde haar een Grammy-nominatie op, haar albums verkochten wereldwijd meer dan 2,5 miljoen exemplaren, en ze had meerdere nummer 1-hits in de USA.

Tijdens de pandemie in 2020 moest ze haar plannen uitstellen, wat haar de tijd gaf om nieuwe creatieve wegen te verkennen. Ze startte de Music in my Kitchen Challenge en Club Dauphine TV, en rolde een uitverkochte theatertour uit in Nederland. Ze presenteert een wekelijkse radioshow op Sublime FM en bracht in 2022 haar album ‘We Never Stop’ uit.

In 2024 keert ze terug naar festival- en clubpodia in Europa, Japan en de USA. Met haar gepassioneerde podiumaanwezigheid en inspirerende muzikale boodschap is ze klaar om harder te funken dan ooit. Houd haar website en sociale media in de gaten voor de laatste updates over haar wereldwijde tournee.

Biography

Dutch saxophonist CANDY DULFER is all set to resume what she does best: hitting the road with her sensational band to bring her unique ‘funky stuff’ to audiences around the world. She can’t wait to perform live again and introduce her loyal fans to the brand-new songs she’s been working on, and to bring the healing power of music to those in need after the many challenges of 2020 and 2021.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 30 years since Candy Dulfer rose to fame with her high-profile collaborations with Dave Stewart (the worldwide number 1 smash “Lily was here”) and the legendary Prince. Their collaboration continued over the years with many studio sessions, TV show appearances, award show performances, and concert tours around the globe, including Candy joining Prince’s NPG band for his record-shattering ‘Musicology’ tour & album.

Candy has worked with some of the biggest names in music, including Van Morrison, Maceo Parker, Sheila E., Mavis Staples, Lionel Richie, Beyoncé, Pink Floyd, Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin, and Nile Rodgers. Despite these collaborations, Candy mainly focused on her solo career. Her first solo album ‘Saxuality’ earned her a Grammy Award nomination, the combined world-wide sales of her solo albums top 2.5 million copies, and she has had several number 1 hits in the USA.

Just like everyone around the world, she had to put all her plans on hold when the pandemic hit in 2020. Being at home allowed her the time to explore new creative grounds. She started the Music in my Kitchen Challenge, performing online from her home, including a virtual reunion with Dave Stewart to perform “Lily was here”. She also initiated Club Dauphine TV, a weekly online TV show with well-known covers played by Candy with famous Dutch guest stars. Candy rolled out a sold-out theater tour in the Netherlands, called “Sax, Candy & Rock-’n-Roll”. She’s also the host and producer of a weekly 2-hour primetime radio show on Sublime FM. In 2021 she signed a new record deal with Mascot Label Group and released her latest album ‘We Never Stop’ in 2022.

After an extensive year of touring and promoting her latest album in 2023, in 2024 she returns to festival and club stages all over Europe, Japan, and the USA. With her passionate stage presence and top-class band, she is all set to FUNK HARDER than ever.
