about
Arriving in Brussels from Ostend, her city of birth, in 1983 she joins Micky Mike's Snowy Red . For one year she will take part in the ventures of one of Belgium's foremost electro-groups, and in 1988 she even resurfaces at Mike's side when Snowy Red makes a remarkable come-back. In 1984, after seeing her on stage with the band, Winston Tong (Member of TUXEDOMOON) convinces her to work with him, not merely as a back-up singer but as a sidekick with a role of more vital importance. He speaks very highly of her: "I knew immediately that Niki possessed the same qualities that people told me I have, and I imagined that the two of us alone on stage would be quite hypnotic". Together, they record the single 'Theoretical China' in London and during their tour in Japan Niki conceives the solo-12" 'The Hunger' released on Les Disques Du Crépuscule. After laying down the tracks for a subsequent album, she parts company - for various reasons - with TONG. In 1986, she writes the soundtrack for a video by Paris-based WONDERPRODUCTS. Coupled with cover versions of sixties standards rendered by various members of Minimal Compact and Tuxedomoon , it is released on Crammed Discs under the banner 'Fuck You Dreams, This Is Heaven'. That same year she travels to another universe: together with David Tibet(CURRENT 93), Himar Orn HILMARSON (PSYCHIC TV), Peter NETSAH (LAI) and James FOSTER (THE MONOCHROME SET) she creates 'The Aryan Aquarians ': a musical journey "to the land of the Aryan Aquari
