So this is the “About Me” Section and I’m feeling grateful that you’re taking the time to actually read something about me. It’s kind of hard to write about yourself (because where are you gonna start and finish?) but I’ll just give it a go and write whatever wants to come through me right now. Music. I’ve been making music probably most of my life in some way and I’m very happy to say I come from a pretty musical family. That’s probably why I’ve always been around music, people singing (especially at our family gatherings) and harmonizing and making music on different instruments. Music for me really is an incredible way to share and express my inner world with the rest of the world and I am amazed again and again on music’s capacity of transporting frequencies, on a physical but also on an emotional level. You can listen to a song today that you kept on repeat in the bus going on the school’s skiing trip when you were 13 and you’re immediately back there, you’re actually FEELING the way you were feeling then. The joy, the freedom, the lightheartedness and also the massive insecurities or the mix of feelings you had for your crush back then. It’s amazing. Music is a way of connecting people and that is why I love it so much, and because the simple act of writing, performing and consuming music brings me a lot of joy.
