Biography
| Candy Dulfer was born in The Netherlands on 19 September 1969. She started playing the soprano saxophone at the age of six, with her father teaching her the groundrules. At the tender age of twelve Dulfer displayed her blossoming talent by playing a tune on her father's album. In that same period she performed with the band 'Upside Down' at the 'North Sea Jazz Festival' in The Hague, Holland. In the early eighties she played with 'Funky Stuff', a band that would soon grow to be one of the most popular bands in the country. In 1987 'Funky Stuff' split up but it only took Dulfer six months to form a new band under the same name. That summer Dulfer played the warm-up act of Madonna and only a year later she played a solo in the show of 'His Royal Badness' Prince. In '89 she worked with Dave Stewart of 'Eurythmics' on the soundtrack of the Dutch movie 'De Kassière.' The song 'Lily Was Here' became an international hit. Her increasing popularity also offered her the opportunity to work with Van Morrison, Aretha Franklin, Pink Floyd and others. Being internationally known, Dulfer worked hard to put together a new formation for 'Funky Stuff'. The European 'Saxuality' Tour showed that she had succeeded. The album 'Saxuality' went gold in The Netherlands, Canada and the United States and silver in the United Kingdom. In 1991 Candy Dulfer received two Dutch awards, 'De Gouden Notekraker' and the Export Prize of the Conamus Foundation, as well as a Grammy Award nomination for the album 'Saxuality'. Two years later her second album 'Sax-A-Go-Go' was released, going Platinum before the turn of the year. In 1994 Dulfer received the Dutch Export Prize a second time. |
