I live in a really cute little town in Holland called Delft. My mother is Swedish and my father is Dutch/ Chinese. About a year ago I finished my bachelors in Art & Cultural Sciences at the University in Rotterdam (woohoo! finally!). Writing songs when I'm alone in my room is what I love the most. When I was 7 my mother sent me to take piano lessons. She had to drag me there every Thursday afternoon.. I loved playing the things I liked but I was lousy at doing my homework and my teacher...
I live in a really cute little town in Holland called Delft. My mother is Swedish and my father is Dutch/ Chinese. About a year ago I finished my bachelors in Art & Cultural Sciences at the University in Rotterdam (woohoo! finally!). Writing songs when I'm alone in my room is what I love the most. When I was 7 my mother sent me to take piano lessons. She had to drag me there every Thursday afternoon.. I loved playing the things I liked but I was lousy at doing my homework and my teacher wasn't going to let me get away with it :]. In high school I sang in a cover band I set up with a few friends. We called ourselves 'Sushi One' and it was so much fun. I have always written a lot of things down (and when I was young and I didn't know how to write I pretended I could by scribbling down interesting lines and curls in secret documents :). Poems, lyrics, stories, diaries, to- do- lists (my short term memory needs improving ;).. Pen and paper are part of my primary needs. I'd be a mess if I'd have to miss them. The first summer after turning 21 and moving into my student home I decided to skip going on a vacation so I could afford a piano. It was then that I started putting my words to music and I haven't stopped since. To me my songs are a way of realising that I exist, a way of giving shape to my world and feelings. Apart from the value music has to me as an individual, I want to invite more people to take a walk through my world and mind (the more the merrier, right? :). I want to offer you something to project your own feelings on, or in other words: provide a home for your thoughts and emotions by sharing my own. I like to think of every song as a picture and of people experiencing a performance or an album like a visit to a museum… Forget about what's outside. For every picture a moment to take it in. Let the essence of it overflow you. Release yourself from it when you feel ready to. Then with a little bit more knowledge of me and my world, easily stroll on to the next picture and repeat the process. It's your thoughts melting together with mine into a shape which I hope can uplift, carry, move, inspire or comfort you in some way.
