What instruments do you play and how long have you been playing
I only sing, but I have been doing that for as long as I can remember

Equipment
My vocal cords

Best gig ever
Must be the Ayreon release party for 01011001. It’s not every day you get to perform with an artist that influenced you the most, musically speaking. Apart from that it was the nicest crowd I have ever seen!

Current other bands
Elister

Who are your influences
Too much to sum up, it varies, anything that’ll get my attention can influence me. Can be metal, can be pop, soul, anything! But Ayreon is one of my main influences I guess.

Best album
Jeff Buckley – Grace
A Perfect Circle – Mer de Noms
Alanis Morissette – Jagged Little Pill
Ayreon – Into The Electric Castle
Tool - Aenima

Favourite movies and TV shows
I love watching movies, but I always forget titles, I’m a dumbass, haha! I do remember my favourite TV shows though. Must be Grey’s Anatomy and That 70’s Show.

Favourite books
Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams, Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder and many more. I also love children’s books. (Occupational hazard, I’m gonna be a teacher.)

Hobbies and interests
Anything regarding music, laughing my ass off and trying to enjoy every minute of life.

Favourite food
I like anything except for pineapple, coconut and ginger. Eating that sends shivers down my spine.
