De Steenwinkel was born in Utrecht. The family moved to Bergen, North Holland a year later. Her father Siebe de Steenwinkel is a television director for talk show programmes such as Pauw and De Wereld Draait Door and her mother was a handicraft teacher.[3][4]
In 2015, de Steenwinkel auditioned for season six of The Voice of Holland, where she was a member of Team Marco. She performed "The Power of Love" in her blind audition, where all four coaches turned their chairs.[6] On 29 January 2016, de Steenwinkel went on to win the competition. Following her win, she released the single "Perfect World" produced by Hardwell, which was certified gold and peaked within the Top 40 in the Netherlands.[7] Her follow-up single, "Ride It", achieved similar levels of success.[8] In 2016, she voiced Becky the porcupine in the Dutch dub of the animated film Sing.[9]
In 2017, de Steenwinkel became involved with season ten of De beste zangers van Nederland and season three of Dance Dance Dance.[8] In December, de Steenwinkel was performing live at Radio 538 when a nude streaker ambushed the stage, causing her to burst into tears mid-performance. It was later revealed that the station's DJ Frank Dane initiated the prank, which led to controversy.[10]
In February 2019, "Hij is Van Mij", her song with Kris Kross Amsterdam, Bizzey and Tabitha, reached number one on the Dutch Top 40, and Maan became the first The Voice of Holland winner to record a number-one single.[11]
In January 2020, she released her debut album Onverstaanbaar.[12]
In March 2021, Maan had her second number-one single "Blijven slapen", a collaboration with Snelle.[13] In November 2022, she released "Stiekem", a song with the Dutch pop group Goldband, shortly after publicising her relationship with member Karel Gerlach.[14] "Stiekem" spent nine weeks at number two in 2022 and 2023.[15] In May 2023, it became the biggest Dutch-language hit single of all time, according to the Dutch Top 40.[16]
Maan was in a relationship with Dutch DJ Tony Junior beginning in 2017 when they met at the Mysteryland festival, but in December 2019, she announced their breakup on Instagram.[17] In August 2022, Goldband's Karel Gerlach announced at Lowlands that he was dating Maan.[18]
