- I take songwriting and music seriously but do not take myself too seriously. I'm easy going and the music, especially when collaborating, is not only about what I think but best with group inputs.
- I do like to record new versions of cover songs but not interested in a cover band.
- I don’t like: auto tune/ melodyne, Monotonous drum machines/no tempo changes, trite lyrics, little dynamic and no sonic variations,
