What do you think of your photograph
When you’re photographed next to such a beautiful woman, it’s almost impossible for the photograph not to be beautiful. I think it’s perfect.

What was your first introduction to the Melkweg?
I’ve been going to Melkweg for so many years already, I have no clue which concert was the first! I think it was when I was 17 and I went to see Kid Ink. I was standing right at the front and had the time of my life!
Do you want to tell us your favourite Melkweg story?
I’m struggling to think of one story that particularly stands out, but going to the Melkweg always feels special. It feels a little like coming home. Every event feels like a house party, downtown in the heart of our city. The Melkweg is my favourite venue in Amsterdam, because it’s just so cozy.
What do you think concerts will look like in 50 years?
I hope that concerts still exist in 50 years and that we don’t just watch everything on our phones!
What do you want people to know about you?
I am planning to become Amsterdam’s best writer.
Which musician would you want to swap lives with for a day?
Rihanna! I would love to experience her mindset and focus for a day. In my view, her motivation and work ethic is unlike any other.
Do you want to be famous? If so, what would you want to be known for?
Yes, I hope to become famous as Amsterdam’s best author!
If you could be the director of Melkweg for a day, what would you do?
That’s a good question. I would put together my own show, and invite all my friends and family to my concert.
What do you think of your photograph?
It’s a badass picture. We look like the modern day Bonnie and Clyde!
