“Not long after that, I found an old Farfisa rhythm machine, the Rhythm Unit 10. As well as the inbuilt rhythms like rumba and waltz, there were some switches on the side and I could listen to the sounds individually… boom-tshh-boom-tshh. The bass, snare, cymbal and bongos. When this was put through a big amplifier with some effects, it sounded so exciting."

“I love modern recording technology, because it allows me to make my music and it also allows me to play my live shows… I have two MacBook Air computers on stage, one to control the music and other to control the visuals."

"I'm not so much into creating 'my own sound', whatever it could be. I'm more into making my melodies and my stories. I work very normal, as a lot of other artists. At first, I write my story and make the rhymes. During writing, I mostly get the melody by reading the sentences. I do only little arrangements afterwards with the usual Cubase program on my Macintosh computer. At first I set the drums and the beat. This is important for the singing, then I create the parts. I mean, the part of the song; the verse, the chorus or a bridge-part or other specialities."

“I just have a laptop with Pro Tools and GarageBand. The way I make music is with my voice… I sing the melodies into my computer."
