Yolandé started doing music at a young age and handles herself very well in both the Afrikaans and English market. Her favorite genre is cabaret, but for corporate functions you can hear her fluently singing in the pop, rock as well as the jazz genre.

As a student at the PU for CHE Yolandé belonged to an amature Student Theatre Group - Alabama Student Company. She toured with them for three years, doing between 50 and 60 shows a year throughout the whole of South Africa. Her time with them proved her to be an outstanding soloist and stage performer.

In 1998 and 1999, she teamed up with very talented songwriter Herman van der Walt and entered the ATKV's talent hunt for young Afrikaans singers/songwriters - Crescendo. (Careers that kicked of with Crescendo includes icons like Anna Davel, Karin Hougaard, Reana Nel, Jak de Priester and many more). The songs Kaalvoetkind and Pleister made it to the final round (top 3) on both occasions. Music videos for both songs were produced and aired on SABC2.

Yolandé also came 2nd in Beeld's Vuurdoop for songwriters in 2000 with her own composition Misreën, loosing to now famous Mel Botes.

Yolandé has since done a one women show called Blouklip (2002), Doringdraad Blues Café (2001-With Mari Laufs), Nagkantoor (2004/2005 - With Jannie du Toit, Mathys Roets and Charlene Truter) Vieux Amis (2008-2009 with Mari Laufs) and has performed numerously at the informal stages at Aardklop and KKNK.

At present Yolandé is busy with an Online Collaboration Album with talented Canadian Songwriter Casia titled Continents Apart. Yolandé currently lives in Wilderness with her husband André and 2 sons Aiden and Lennon.
