CURRENT MISSION

Play music. Record my EP and not lose my mind.

ABOUT ME

I'm studying a film education in Brussels, and I love it, but my true passion lies in music. I play the harp, and playing on the street is my daytime job in the weekend. It's really wonderful since you get to be your own boss and the reaction of people is real nice.

I also play in a relatively famous band in Belgium, there I sing and also play harp. It has gotten me so many opportunities, and it really makes me feel alive. The other musicians in the band are just wonderful and when we play together it all falls together.

At the same time I make my own music, which is sometimes exhausting, in that way, that finding your own sound is very difficult yet rewarding. I'm in the demo fase, and I love to hear people who share the same struggle about their art form. I mean, it is after all your little baby you try to bring in the world.

I try to make with my music, a balance between lyrics and melodies, but most of all, making people feel like heroes and heroins. I like to sing about a state of delirium, drunken menories, dreams, the hours in the night that no one remembers, secret affairs. In other words, thing that are not simple to say, but situations that can sweep you of your feet.

I'm always so grateful to collaborate with other people in any way! If it are experiences, lyrics, ideas, that are the things where the best music comes from.

I have no job, (except playing on the streets) but that is one of the nice things of being young. Not easy, but not being able to know what the next day brings you is what makes it exciting!

PHILOSOPHY

If you going to try, go all the way, otherwise don't even start.

You will never remember having a lot of money at one point, rather than spending it impulsivly on great memories. It leaves you poor in the pocktets, but rich in your mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I never go to hotels anymore. The experiences I had with CS, are the best in my life. Unfortunately, I don't have space to let people stay in my house, well house, let's say room, but one day I will!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm always very grateful, if I get a couch, a bed, the ground, a yard. That's just sleeping space. The people behind it are the ones who make it memorable.

Interests

I really love the Belle Epoque and Art Nouveau. Also the Renaissance art makes me wonder why I was born in this century... I like to talk about weird theories about life, what could've been what might have been.. The wonders of nature are a mystery I like to know more about, but I also love the living breathing citylife. But a real passion is to lose myself in a beautiful music peace, like so many I guess..

Another passion is opera. I love the magic around it, the music (I have some prefers of course) the stories..
