Do's debut album is recorded with producer Yanou in the Toneteam Studios in Düsseldorf, Germany. Do receives a TMF music award for Best Female Artist National. Early June the single Love Is Killing Me comes out. Do's voice can be heard in the Dutch version of the movie about the cat Garfield (director: Peter Hewitt).

Do's voice is in the Dutch version of the animation film Robots, which is premiered on March 24. With producer/musician and close friend Glenn Corneille Do starts the recording sessions of her second album.
