biography
Saskia Laroo is one of those all too few artists who are not afraid to be called an entertainer. In her own words: "I like it when people have a good time and dance while I play. I don ’t want to play just for other [musicians]." Whether it 's her musical performance or just her stage presence, she always does it with style, striking the eye, the ear and the heart.
