Floor Jansen (born February 21, 1981 in The Netherlands) is the lead singer of the Dutch band After Forever.

Biography
Jansen was sixteen when she joined Apocalypse (the name of the band After Forever in its early days) in 1997. Three years later the band released its first album, Prison of Desire. Floor's versatile voice and her ability to sing both classical and popular music have made her one of the most respected and admired singers in the heavy metal scene.[citation needed] She is capable of singing at very high pitches, in a calm and passionate style, and with a rougher rock/metal edge.

She has taken sole charge of After Forever's lyrics since the departure of Mark Jansen in 2002. Prior to this, up until the Decipher album, the two would write lyrics together.

Floor started studying music at the Dutch Rockacademy in 1999 and entered the conservatory three years later. She studied Theatrical Music and sang many arias from Operas. Later on, she started teaching performing in her own course called Wanna be a Star?!. Her dream is to sing in a musical theater.

Three albums by the Dutch composer and multi-instrumentalist Arjen Anthony Lucassen include guest vocals from Floor. She sang one song on Universal Migrator Part 1: The Dream Sequencer, made a number of contributions to the Star One project and has been confirmed as a guest singer on the next, currently untitled, Ayreon album.
