In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When i was 3 years old i had my own DIY drumkit and a toy guitar. There was this Live Concert DVD of the Eagles called "Hell Freezes Over". While standing in front of the TV with my guitar and drumkit I used to act like I was one of them. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Cody Johnson, Cowboy Like Me (Bonus Track Version) Eagles, Hell Freezes Over (Remastered) [Live] Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Waylon & Willie These albums have had a big impact on my life. Some are old, some are modern, but they all feel timeless. That’s what makes them special—a reflection of the good old days and a reminder of the bright future that still lies ahead What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I participated in Holland's Got Talent 2024 and reached the semi-finals. It was an impressive experience, it gave me the opportunity to show the people of the Netherlands who I am and what country music is all about. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? At the moment, I am striving to emigrate to Nashville, TN. This remarkable city has fascinated me for years. It’s where I hope to make my career a success.
