A year in a life (2011)
This year is such a great year for me in terms of traveling and music experience.
In February I went to Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris in 5 days with my two aunties. We stayed in cheap hostels, walked around the cities, took some picture, it was unbelievable. And the highlight? Seeing the great Tour d’Eiffel with my own eyes!
My family and I spent quality time a lot during spring-summer...

BOY - Little Numbers
Reminiscent of Feist, BOY is straight up indie pop from Deutschland. The duo is made of Valeska Steiner from Zurich and Sonja Glass from Hamburg, and their debut album, to be released in September, was recorded in Berlin. Check out a few other tracks here including a download of This Is The Beginning.
I miss Europe in summer.
