And can you tell us a bit about the acts you personally work with at this moment?
I personally work across different genres and scenes, focusing on discovering and supporting more left-field voices within the industry. With a roster of around 15 writers, three specific writers to highlight are: the world-building maximalist IDM artist, Iglooghost. Masked tongue-in-cheek pop provocateur, Lynks and experimental American-Polish electronic duo, Bassvictim.
What was the moment you decided you wanted to work with music?
Studying at film school and falling head over heels in love with musical film scores and soundtracks from some of my favourite directors like David Lynch, Jonathan Glazer, Xavier Dolan, Lars Von Trier and Jean Luc Godard.
Which acts are you looking forward to seeing this year at SPOT?
Majke Voss, Fine, Eros For You, Ex.Girls, Elias Rønnenfelt, Ida Duelund, Xenia
Best show you’ve ever seen hands down?
I can’t choose between:
Bjork at The O2
Adrianne Lenker at The Barbican
Justice at Glastonbury Festival
Fontaines D.C. in Madrid
