Rike Boomgaarden

Rike Boomgaarden began singing at age five and subsequently started learning to play various instruments. In her late teens, she started touring around Europe with several cover bands to gain exposure. During the intermittent breaks in her touring schedule, she began "demo singing" for various songwriting pitches. This eventually lead to her becoming a ghost singer for various major label projects throughout Europe.

Boomgaarden started crafting her own records for pitch with fellow songwriter Alex Geringas. Through these co-writings Rike was able to secure a publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Group in 2010. Since 2010 she has written songs for Namie Amuro, Jolin Tsai, Sarah Connor (singer), BoA, Lidia Kopania, and Natalia.
