I consider myself a friendly and open-minded person. Always keen on going on adventures. I've spent 4 years of my life studying and volunteering abroad (Norway, Wales, Sweden). I'm currently based in Riga, Latvia. Working on various creative projects - organising secret gigs for Sofar Sounds Riga, working on movie sets in the art department, working with texts (translating, editing, copywriting) and writing & playing my own music. Music is my passion and place of self-expression. I've been playing guitar and writing songs for a while now. I started solo and then had some good friends join me to form a band. I perform both solo and with the band, and it's all under the name Pacific K.

I try to travel as much as I can, usually together with my wife Zanda, so you'll see some pictures of her too. We also have a dog that we took in from the shelter a couple of years ago and named her Keiko.

And we also have a house in the countryside (about 2h drive from Riga). You're also welcome to visit us there. It's beautiful out there, surrounded by wild forests and meadows.

Interests

From extreme sports to music to philosophy. I did BMX racing when growing up. Love outdoor activities - surfing, kayaking, mountain-biking, skiing, hiking, camping etc. Alongside that, I'm into music. As mentioned above, I play and write, so always looking how to transfer my thoughts and emotions into words and melodies. All that is also influenced by my interest in everything that's around, from arts and different cultures to nature and self-expression.
