Geike Arnaert (Heike) is the lead singer of the Belgian ambient-pop group Hooverphonic. She was born on September 13, 1979. She was raised in Westouter, a small village in Flanders, North Belgium. She has two siblings: Anne and Kaat. In her current hometown she likes hanging out with her friends and doing yoga, dancing and party-hopping. Her basic musical influences range from the Rolling Stones, the Doors, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Led Zeppelin, Lou Reed, Nirvana, Joni Mitchell, Portishead, Massive Attack, Cocteau Twins, and Blondie...She has a high-key personality (not sure what that means), but likes cooking and reading a good book as well. Geike is often described as a smart, sweet and open person despite her apparent coldness and ambiguity on stage, though she prefers keeping her private life far from the media. Geike has sung as a guest vocalist for Ozark Henry and various other artists. Recently she recorded the historical French song "Le temps des cerises" in duet with singer-songwriter and entertainer Bobbejaan Schoepen, released on his new album (May 2008).
Her plans to go solo are in works, but not confirmed.
