If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
Soko. I am so impressed by this person. About the sensitivity and strength and the courage to write such heartbreaking songs. she is a great inspiration on every level.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
Punk and alternative. In my youth, I was particularly influenced by punk and alternative subcultures. musically and thematically, I could identify myself much better with these subcultures.

I'm a huge fan of Arca <3
