About me
I love the creative process, the collaboration with the team, the director, presenter, camera people. I have composed music for film scores and would like to do more of that. I also see myself with my handpan as an 'extra' as a street musician or singing in the background on stage somewhere where the main actors play their roles. My music seems to be moving and I hope that the silver screen can carry it further. My ambitions are great and I see TV, film and music as great tools with which we can show life's stories and inspire people to stand in their own strength. This profession goes far beyond its surface and is extremely important. When more people stand in their strength, we are more willing to be with each other, ourselves, and the world. Being able to contribute a small part to that, being able to do that together as a team, is why I think it's so cool!

remarks
- My voice is moving, the music is not mainstream but it is coming in.
- Besides acting and music, I am extremely visual and sensitive. I see locations, beautiful shots in my head before we've even shot them. For example, I already imagined the white dress and bare feet from the video Leap Into The Deep as a vulnerability in a burned-out forest for letting go.
