Nance was born on September 10, 1973 as Nancy Anna Francina Coolen in Asten, a small town in the south of The Netherlands. Besides her TV work, Nance is mainly known as the singer of Twenty 4 Seven, which is one of the most popular Eurodance acts in the world.
Twenty 4 Seven was founded in 1989 by DJ and producer Ruud van Rijen. When Ruud was looking for a singer, he discovered Nance in The Freebird in Asten, which was also the club where Ruud was the resident DJ. The first Twenty 4 Seven track Nance did the vocals for was “I Can’t Stand It”. And… she was only 15 years old back then!
“I Can’t Stand It” became a big hit and that was the start of the succes story of Twenty 4 Seven! So far Twenty 4 Seven has sold more than 20 million records worldwide. Besides “I Can’t Stand It”, Nance did the vocals on tracks such as “Are You Dreaming”, “Slave To The Music”, “Is It Love”, “Take Me Away”, “Keep On Trying” and many others!
But the Twenty 4 Seven story ended for Nance around 1995, when she was forced to leave the group … But, good news for the fans, , because Nance is back with Twenty 4 Seven together with Hanks & Jacks and … they just released a brand new track called “Do You Want Me”.
So, a good reason to sit down with Nance, to ask her about her career, the new Twenty 4 Seven single and more!
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

I also did an interview with Stay-C, in which he shares the story behind "Slave To The Music": • The story behind Twent...

What is your favorite Twenty 4 Seven track?
Slave 2 the Music
Take Me Away (E&M Club Mix)
Take Me Away. It started off my love of Eurodance. Great to hear the stories from the group.
Keep On Tryin' as a second close.
Impossible to say!! :) There are too many I would consider my favourite.
Wow i was 15 in 1989 when i brought this Single. 1974 i was born july 23rd.
This interview made me smile all the time. What a positive energy she has!
Wow! .. I had a huge teenage crush on Nance back then when she was 15-16 (I was 13-14) and just seeing Nance now totally reignited that crush, Nance is as gorgeous now as she was then.
TWENTY 4 SEVEN...a very important part of the start of EURODANCE
what a lovely lady.great interview
Thank you so much! And yes she is!
Nance, the first pop star crush I had when I was a kid. Still a beautiful woman.
This video should be 24 minutes and 7 seconds long. Top work Twan! (again)
Ohhh, good one haha! 😂 And thank you!!!
Also, all the records are available at Seven eleven. :D
back in 1990, I actually was in love with this beautiful woman! That until I first heard ”Are you dreaming”, and I realised I could love her only in my dreams... :)
Many of us were, I can assure you ;-)
Twenty 4 Seven my favorite group from the 90's..
I remember when I moved to Barranquilla Colombia 🇨🇴 back in 1989. I heard on the radio I Can't Stand It. Then in 1993 I heard Slave To The Music. On Radioactiva 90.1 FM. A shame when I moved back to the U.S. in 1996. Eurodance never caught on. Can't lie I had a big crush on Nancy. Still very beautiful lady and a cool attitude.
Great interview!
I always thought Nance left Twenty 4 Seven, had no idea it wasn't her decision...
I hope they will make a full new album together.
Shes beautiful!!! Thanks for a such a nice interview!!!
Nance and her fantastic Hits like "Kiss it", "Love is..." or "Big Brother Is Watching You" are until today loved 90ies Vocaldance tracks! A very charismatic Singer!
Nance still looks hot and sings sounds wonderful, wish Nance and Stay- C would sing together again
All I can ask for from an interview is to make me smile - this made me smile plenty! Thanks.
I could listen to Nance speak for Twenty 4 Seven, that's for sure. Her accent is AMAZING. Outstanding interview!
Nance is great! Glad you enjoyed the interview, thank you!
всегда нравилась Nance. что раньше была красивой что сейчас в форме. респект и уважуха
Good old days
You did it! Thank you man, nice job as always!
I love you nance!!! rocks!!
Nice one Twan! Always love the 'energy' Nance brings with her. A very kind person with a great voice.
Another smashing interview mate
Nancy is beautiful!!
Thanks Mark! And yes she is!
leuke video weer 👍 leuk om nance weer terug te zien, goede herinneringen aan twenty 4 seven 😃🌟🎉
Omg....another most interesting interview missed and that too 'Twenty 4 Seven'🙄😪 going to watch and enjoy it now🤩👍🕺🕺🕺
You know I used to think they were 2 unlimited part 2😄 can't believe it ...The 90's just feelss like yesterday it all happened 😪
Thank you very much Muzikxpress/Twan sir and 24/7 crew🤩🙌🏻♥️🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺
G.O.A.T & a goddess. 😍🥰😘❤💯🙏👍👊✌
What a lovely,friendly and honest woman!
Ich war in Nürnberg dabei !! War ein tolles Wiedersehen , nach 30 Jahren !! DANKE auch an Shirin und Tony , durch die ich dort sein konnte !! War so schön Alle wieder zu sehen . Hoffe bald wieder !!
Ah lucky you! How cool! I bet that was so cool to witness! Nice one!
Great interview Twan, I bet her energy also helps and inspires people as we know she's not always feeling as great as she looks.
Nance is low key hot!Not gonna lie!Dutch ladies!❤️
She was always gorgeous woman..
Nance is Nance, is altijd gewoon gebleven, uit Brabant. Altijd gezellig backstage met Nance. 👋😘❤️
En zo is het ;-)
This is another fantastic interview, Twan, I would like to say, I wasn't aware of the music but checked it out and the sounds were beautiful. Also a very beautiful Dutch and very outgoing woman, wow haha 🙂 👍
Top top Twan. My teenage time 🤗. To bad my kids ( 19 and 15) never will have to party and feel the happiness we had. But keep up that nice work. 👍👏
Awesome! Hope to see more Eurodance!
Thank you! I have some things in the works for later this year, but because of COVID etc it might take a bit longer. Stay tuned!
For me Nancy Coolen from "Twenty 4 Seven" and Zohra Aït-Fath from "2 Fabiola" are, by far, the prettier dance singers of all times. But while Zohra has that dark image, Nancy Coolen, sure, is the happier of the two: in all of her videos she is always smiling. Hurra for Nancy!
muzik express dit is echt mijn tijdzone rochelle. twenty 4 seven ! real to reel geniaal
Als het goed is ga ik later dit jaar de producer(s) van een andere bekende Eurodance act interviewen. Hopelijk gaat alles door, fingers crossed!
Very interesting interview I liked her vocals on her later singles also the happycore ones from around 1996.
Thank u Twan, great interview, nice work...
I can‘t stand it
Great interview! One of the best dance music acts ever and Nance hasn't aged a bit, love her vocals and the new song🔥
Btw is it possible to do an interview with the dance music act Cascada? (Natalie Horler, frontwoman) She's also amazing and it would be great if you guys can interview her 😁
Hopefully when there are events again and when she has a gig nearby one day. Fingers crossed!
I like the first album. The Album includes very awesome tracks feat by Hollywood. Helpem Understand , whom du you trust and many more
I still love "You Can Make Me Feel Good" a lot as well!
And for me most importantly "Living in the jungle".
Wow nice interview Twan!
A great video again!
Thank you Daniel!
Gorgeous lady
Hello! If you have the opportunity to do another interview with Nancy Coolen, please send her my regards, and tell her that I would like to have a picture with her autograph!
"Do you want me" is actually a cover of a song by the Swedish group "Da Buzz". They had a big hit with it around 2000. Great song!
That’s correct! I think I did mention it in the interview too no? (Can’t remember tbh hehe)
I don't think so... but it's not impossible that I missed it. 🙂
Nice vid! 🤩.
Cant believe there sold more records as Technotronic
Thank u ;) she look perfect ,Love her all that years ;)
Nostalgie ❤🙏
Nice 😁 My childhood
Epic!💃
She seems so nice ! 👍🏻
MC Fixx-It atualmente está no Projeto Eurodance "Maxxima" junto com Tina Safrany pela DMN Records.
Boa sorte ao Twenty 4 Seven com a volta de Nance.
What about "2 Brothers on the 4th Floor" interview? )
As explained in my Q&A session from a few weeks ago, an interview with their producer(s) is in the works for later this year!
@@muzikxpress Will be later?
@@EuroDJ Still on the looooong wish list, but I have a lot of other interviews lined up for the next months. So not anytime soon, I simply don’t have time right now for new interviews. So hopefully later this year 🤞🏻 (If they’re up for it of course)
@@muzikxpress We will be waiting! :) Thanks!
Entertaining person! Sometimes that counts more WHO are you talking to, rather than WHAT are you talking about.
I'll never forget the first time I saw the video for 'Nance - Kiss It!' on Dutch TV. I was 10 years old and let's just say it wasn't very suitable for my age 😅😅. They showed it on national television on a weekday afternoon (I think it was the Mega Top 100 with Gijs Staverman). The song is still really good though haha. Cheers Twan!
I just bought "I can't stand it" on 12" 😊🤗
🎶💗\o/\o/\o/💗🎶
Hey Twan, great interview! Found your channel after the Ruud van rijen interview. I was Eurodance mad in the 90’s even though very few singles made the charts here in the U.K. I had to go over to Amsterdam to buy the music😬😂
Nance I had a massive crush on in the 90’s she was stunning🥰. Quick question: in the video for ‘Is It Love’ it cuts between nance and stay-c singing and then a beautiful woman being pursued by a guy-someone told me that Nance is THAT woman?? Could you confirm or deny this????
Thank you for the comment! And yes, the running woman in the "Is It Love" video (the black & white part) is Nance as well :)
@@muzikxpress Thank you for replying. OMG she looks so different. I just assumed it was a model they’d used for the video. She has the most amazing smile 🥰 and she’s still beautiful today!
One last thing, as I say I went to Amsterdam twice in the mid 90’s purely to buy eurodance CD’s. Was a particular fan of 24/7 and 2 brothers. I actually saw Desray and D-rock walking over a canal bridge with someone filming them (carrying one of those big mic things) I didn’t have the courage to go over and say I’d pretty much travelled over from London purely to buy their music😔😏
in italy at festivalbar 1990 grandi!!
Nance is Twenty 4 Seven!
what we want are interviews with the composers of sound & lyrics of captain hollywood , ice of base , haddaway ...etc tumb up guys
Hey there, for now I don’t do requests, sorry! Please keep in mind that this channel is “just” a hobby for me. Advertising revenue on CZcams is really minimal if you don’t have millions of views…. This means that I don’t have a travel budget for the interviews. Because of that I can only do interviews with artists based in The Netherlands (where I’m from) or with artists that do visit The Netherlands for gigs etc. And… I did an interview with Haddaway already in case you missed it 😉
Pineapple on a pizza: Hell YEAH! I will answer you that when you will interview me in the future!
very beautiful and nice girl 💘💘😍😍Slave To The Music (Ferry & Garnefski Acid Mix) my favorite techno track (mix) from Twenty 4 Seven
Great remix! 🔥
Wow she hardly aged, can't believe she is almost 50, most Hollywood stars look older at 25 with all the surgery and injectables !
Where can I find the 30 second performance of Captain Hollywood with Nance? I can’t find it no no nono no
It was posted somewhere on Facebook I remember, but I can't remember where exactly tbh.
Slave to the music :P
Twenty 4 Seven never got big in the UK, but this was a great interview :)
Thank you! And indeed, only "I Can't Stand It" was a Top 10 hit in the UK. The follow up "Are You Dreaming?" made it to the #17 spot there, but all other singles never reached the charts in the UK.
@@muzikxpress Actually, only my mix of both were UK hit records. B)
@@DroopusTunes nice to see you here Bruce! 🙌🏻
Btw, @muzikxpress it came as surprise to me, but there was a new Amber track released a few days ago! Try to get her for an interview! I've been in love with her for twenty five years or more (who can keep track of such things LOL)
Amber - sexual. Great tune
it seems Amber is based in the USA, so not sure if that will happen anytime soon... For now I can only do interviews with people that are based in The Netherlands. Maybe one day!
@@muzikxpress Oh! The new song is in Dutch! Maybe you can translate it, LOL!!!
@@soups1982 Oh course, they ALL are. LOL. I've been collecting her since the 90s. Only missing a few of the really hard to find singles
@@thirdstar9255 which new song? The Amber one? I don’t really focus on new music for my vlogs, my concept is the stories behind classic hits from back in the day 😉 Check my trailer video where I explain what I’m exactly doing on my CZcams channel 😊
Nice interview.
But it seems in the beginning in the way you asked her you forgot that the single I CAN'T STAND IT was first released with Mc FixxIt, which failed. So it wasn't the big hit from day one. She mentions him a few times, but I have the feeling you didn't know about that or something :)...
Thank you! And I do know that for sure, I’m from Asten, where Nance was born and grew up. So I did follow the entire Twenty 4 Seven story since the very start. Their producer Ruud van Rijen was a DJ in a local club here in Asten; the Freebird. I did an entire Muzikxpress episode with him about the story behind “I Can’t Stand It” already (but I have the feeling you didn’t know about that 😉) so no need to repeat the same story again in the interview with Nance 😉 Check it out, that interview is on my channel as well and also one with Stay-C, links can be found in the video description 😊
RAVE ON
I wanna show you it is a very nice song...i would like a cover.😍
Alle sprechen mit einem starken niederländischen Akzent 🙂
That’s because we’re both Dutch 😉 (And born in the same Dutch town even!)
Canta con stayc
Ik begrijp het ff niet.... volgens Wiki is Lianne de zangeres en die trad ook voor Corona op?
Stay-C en Li-Ann hebben eerder dit jaar aangegeven dat ze stoppen met Twenty 4 Seven, vandaar mijn vraag aan Nance hierover.
saúdade
I wish she spoke more about her and Stay C. I wanna know what what happened between her and Stay C
You really think people like to talk about those kind of things? I obviously avoid topics like that for a reason. I prefer to keep a good vibe during my interviews and avoid drama, unless people specifically tell me they want to talk about it. But most artists don’t like to bring up these kind of topics FYI.
@@muzikxpress It may be a delicate subject, but I'm also another one who'd like to know about it, and I suppose so many ask themselves about that. By the way, try bringing Stay-C for an interview too, it's a suggestion, that guy deserves attention too :)
@@marcos_silvestri Well they’re not gonna talk about that for sure. So no need for me to ask. Would love to do an interview with Stay-C too one day! He’s also on the loooooong wish list.
@@muzikxpress If it were me, I'd ask if she'd feel comfortable to talk about it, and then respect the answer either yes or no, and tell her "people ask about that, but please, don't mind about it if that is disturbing or delicate", something of the sort. But that, me, so, you, don't worry about that either :)
Just found your channel, interesting content, fabulous artists, you got a new subscriber!
Happy to see you consider Stay-C, hopefully soon ;)
Cheers from Brazil \o/ \o/
@@marcos_silvestri What do you think I’m doing when I ask people for interviews? 😉 I’m doing interviews for local radio, a big online forum back in the day and now YT for many years already BTW. And thanks for subscribing! Much appreciated!
"Hell no!" :D
😂🙈
Qué cambiada està! Nada que ver con la Nancy Coolen de los 90
20 Million Records = 20 Million Gulden or more. Where is the Money? You are between 15 an 17 years old at that time. The Music Industrie robbed you, and the dancers.
She didn’t write any of the lyrics or melodies. Plus the first record company went bankrupt, Ruud did explain that in the interview I did with him some years ago. So they were all robbed indeed….
