Good morning, nothingness!

When you move countries, much like with most big changes in life, you first notice all the amazing things you moved for. A kind of honeymoon, if you like. And then slowly, as the new paradise becomes an everyday reality, you start noticing things that are not present anymore from your previous life. Like mountains,… Continue reading There Are No Mountains (in my soul)

Its red walls, and wall chandeliers that shine with a yellowish light are captivating. It smells as an old theatre should. I really could not imagine a better place to perform in Amsterdam (and in The Netherlands) for the first time. Tickets I have had my fair share of venues before, from the smallest living… Continue reading Live again! – Amsterdam edition

It took two exhausting years to make my first ever solo album. But we could also say forty-six. But it is there now, shiny and new, blurry and sharp, welcome to my audience.

This silence also empowers your other senses, you see the dust in the beam of the spotlight, you can smell the curtains and the mystery of the theatre. This is where I come… Continue reading So Quiet…

The sound of the harp recalling old ages, the sound effects of a dystopian future and two of personalities- these are the components staring in each others’ eyes in ‘Fighter’. This song was originally recorded in 2013 for the second album of The Unbending Trees, what more it was planned to be a duet, two… Continue reading Fighters, Expats, Rebels

Shooting music videos is tough. There is a lot of waiting, and more redoing you could imagine. Sometimes you need to walk in cold water with your clothes on. Sometimes you need to lip-synch at double speed, looking your usual self. Sometimes you are so hot your make-up melts off your face. But sometimes you… Continue reading Nobody Does It Better
