I love traveling and exploring new cultures, and that curiosity carries over into music too: I love discovering music scenes from every corner of the world, always on the hunt for unheard sounds and genuine emotions. Another great passion of mine is progressive rock in all its forms, born at age 12 when I first listened to my father's cassette of "Atom Heart Mother" by Pink Floyd — an experience that forever shaped my relationship with music.
