Dana Winner is the stage name of Chantal Vanlee (born in Hasselt, 10 February 1965). She is a Belgian singer who is famous especially in Flanders, South Africa and the Netherlands.
In 1990 she released her first single Op het dak van de wereld, (Dutch: “On the roof of the world”), a cover of The Carpenters‘ Top of the World from 1973. In 1993 she became really popular with Woordenloos (Dutch: “Without words”). However, it was only in 1995 that she released her only hit single so far to reach the Dutch Top 40, Westenwind.
