Alice Deejay was a Dutch Eurodance project founded and produced by Wessel van Diepen, Dennis van den Driesschen, Sebastiaan Molijn, and Eelke Kalberg (Pronti & Kalmani), fronted by singer Judith Anna Pronk. They are best known for their 1998 single "Better Off Alone", which was a worldwide success, selling over one million albums and five million singles worldwide.

History

Formed in 1998, Alice Deejay launched their career with their debut single, "Better Off Alone", credited as DJ Jurgen presents Alice Deejay.[1] The song reached the top 10 in many European countries and also charted in North America. In the UK, the song was platinum and reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart,[2] and number 3 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play, also reaching number 27 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Their second single, "Back in My Life", was released in November 1999 and reached number one in Norway and the top 10 in Denmark, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

The project's only album was Who Needs Guitars Anyway?, released in March 2000. It entered the top ten of the UK Albums Chart.[2] They released three more singles from the album, "Will I Ever", "The Lonely One", and "Celebrate Our Love", all of which reached the top 20 in the United Kingdom.[2] Pronk, together with backing singers, toured dance-themed venues to perform live. In 2002, this line-up made their final appearance together.

On 16 October 2021, Pronk returned as Alice Deejay live on stage for the first time in 20 years at the Ethias Arena in Belgium. She made her final appearance on stage at Kubix Festival on 14 December 2024 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.[5]

Production
