Egma was a Dutch Eurodance project, produced by Ege van Kruysdijk and Marcel Theunissen, primarily active between 1991-95. The name of the project came from first two letters of producers names "Eg" and "Ma".[1]

History

The project went through a couple of vocalists during the years.[2]Starting with "Never Gonna Loose Your Love" performed by Ilse Geels (former dancer) and Henk Van de Wiel (former model) the project was joined by another female (former model), named Margo Smulders (aka Keira Green) and Natasja Muskens that became the lead female singer (former dancer). By the time of the single "Make My Day" Henk had left the project and a dancer/rapper Michael Robby joined instead (he also performed in ZOO Inc.).[3]
