Biography

About Sharon Den Adel

Edited by the community

Sharon den Adel has a brown hair and brown eyes, with an average body type and natural breasts. She is 52 years old and was born in Waddinxveen, South Holland, Netherlands, making her Dutch. As a child, she moved with her family to at least 10 different countries, including Indonesia and Suriname, and she later drew on these experiences when faced with bullying at school after returning to the Netherlands.

Her music career began in 1996 when she co-founded the symphonic metal band Within Temptation, where she serves as lead singer and songwriter. She had been singing since age 14 and also holds a bachelor's degree in fashion design, which influences her stage wear and personal style. Running parallel to her professional life, she and her longtime partner and bandmate Robert Westerholt have three children, born in 2005, 2009, and 2011, and they married in 2018.

With three decades of active work, she has kept her creative output varied, incorporating elements from her global upbringing into both her music and her fashion. Her resilience in the face of childhood adversity has shaped her perspective, but she remains focused on her craft and family rather than on public reflection.
