There are so many international musical connections here, in Amsterdam. And some of them are amazingly successful.

Even nowadays some people see me as a "vreemde eend in de bijt" [translated literally as the strange duck in the pond. In other words, an outsider].

For me nightlife is like everyday life's mirror.

Holland is very good at avant garde, probably due to the Dutch character. Good at design. Experimentation sometimes works here very well.

In nightlife you can become a star, while in the daytime you can just be a nobody.

If you can make something genuine, then the ground is fertile for introducing something new. And that happened a few times in my life where I could sow the seeds and see something grow out of it.

The Dutch have a can-do mentality, anything is possible. As long as you pay for it. It is very capitalist. Quite American in a way.
