What do you love most about singing?

To be able to tell a story with music. To always try and find new colors in my voice in order to communicate emotions better and clearer. And the energy one feels amongst every musician on stage during a performance or a rehearsal.

How does your perfect day off look like?

Going on a hike with friends, make a campfire in the woods and watch the sunset together. Reading a good book is also always a great option!

Evening gown or sweatpants?

After everything that’s happened because of Corona it has got to be the evening gown – so happy to be able to put it on to sing concerts again! Normally: a good balance between both of them.
