How did I became me?
On the side: Football & Fitness
I was four years old when my parents registered me at the local football club VDL Maassluis. Since then, I've never left the club. I've made friends for life and built unforgettable memories, on and off the pitch. I'm currently playing in the first team of the club, together with the same friends as almost sixteen years ago.
Sport gives me energy while teaching me to be patient. I like the fact that I'm working on something for the long-term, and at the same time learning to understand my body better. I've created a lifestyle that reflects my personality: committed, consistent and always looking to improve.
On the side: Music
Besides sport, I'm heavily invested in music. I was six years old when I spent my pocket money on my first CD (Doo-Wops & Hooligans - Bruno Mars), and by eight, I wanted to become a radio DJ as I taught myself how to mix tracks. I even made a little radio show with a high school friend on the Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam.
For the past few years, I've been slowly building a vinyl collection of my favorite albums. And I like the creativity you can bring in mixing tracks. I love the high tempo of Hard House, Euro Trance and Trance. There's something special about the euphoric melodies, with a nostalgic nineties tint. My love for music is something that I got from my father and it seems like my connection with music gets stronger as I get older.
