CURRENT MISSION

be happy in three different ways.

ABOUT ME

aaah, where to start. Born in the Netherlands, but still in denial, amateur musician with some ambition (two releases, a third on the way), studied English and love the language, literature, and language and literature in general. Love to go traveling and meet new people, listen to their stories and what bothers them, what they're hoping for, for the world and themselves.
