Favourite music: From the calm singer-songwriter sound to jazz, pop and electronic music. (Bon Iver, Phoebe Bridgers, Oscar Peterson, Taylor Swift, Bil Withers, Jon Hopkins) ... Everything that gets me emotionally, or makes me move because it's really grooving.

How I prepare for a concert: Perfect preparation starts in the morning with a long run, or at least a lot of time outside in nature, and good food. Aside from that there are many routines from day to day, which a part of preparation, but right before, I always warm up with half an hour on the practice pad. At the moment, my favourite is Steve Gadd's Rudiments. And what's very important to do beforehand is clean my teeth and wash my hands!!!
