Biography

Sita's career started in 2001 when she entered in the Dutch television show Starmaker, which was a casting show intended to create a band. During the show, Sita became a member of a band which was called K-otic.[1] Due to the popularity of the show, the band scored a few hits. In December 2001, Sita left the band to pursue a solo career, releasing Happy, her first solo single, which topped the Dutch charts and also became a minor hit in some other European countries. In January 2002 her first solo album, also called Happy, followed.[2]

In 2002, Sita released Happy in the United States, and the song "Happy" was also included in the soundtrack of The Wild Thornberrys Movie.[2] As a consequence, she received some coverage on Nickelodeon.

Within Europe, she became more known in 2003 when she had the hit song "Le Chemin" together with the French band Kyo.[2]

In 2007, Spanish singer Edurne released a cover of her song "Come With Me" under the name Ven Por Mi, achieving success in the Spanish charts.
