About Me

CURRENT MISSION

heading left when my mind says right

ABOUT ME

looking forward to meet new people, make new friends; show you around in my city. I'm an active musician (play the keys), performing and recording/writing songs; would be amazing to meet fellow musicians and create new stuff right away. Amsterdam has a lot of live venues; so we're definitely going out to catch some live music. Also interested in other kinds of art; photography, paintings, sculptures, installations, modern work. However, I would say my best talent is preparing a king's breakfast, so come hungry.

PHILOSOPHY

intellectual depth; try to learn as many things as possible, tease your brain with challenging problems.. but also enjoy life as it comes; travel and be open for new experiences.
