Tell us something about yourself.</STRONG><BR /><SPAN>Hey I’m Jordy, and I live in Brunssum (some place south in the Netherlands). My life motto is always to be curious&nbsp;and dream big. There are so many things I want to learn, do and talk about. I’m currently doing a study focused on communication in the entertainment industry, and learning to develop skills in operation in the gaming/television industry!</SPAN><SPAN class="para_break"><I class="copy_only"><BR /></I></SPAN><SPAN>From time to time I visit a festival (the benefit for living in the Netherlands) &nbsp;And really enjoy meeting new people from around the world, and having a great time with my friends.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>And when I’m not studying, working or visiting a festival, you can find me on Xbox Live haha. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Gaming is one of my biggest addictions, and I just love to explore fictional worlds, be immersed in epic stories or just having fun in a competitive multiplayer match.</SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-right" image-alt="12105959_10205144283066775_2669205186929499736_n.jpg" style="width: 300px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/34470i2599247E63F5B842/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="12105959_10205144283066775_2669205186929499736_n.jpg" alt="12105959_10205144283066775_2669205186929499736_n.jpg" /></span></P> <P><STRONG>So, what kind of music are you into?</STRONG><BR /><SPAN>I really appreciate all kinds of genres, but I’m addicted to Trance. At a young age, I was introduced to the legendary beats of DJ <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/2o5jDhtHVPhrJdv3cEQ99Z" target="_blank">Tiësto</A>, his mixing style and skills were beyond this world, but as trance as a genre has development, so have I. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Nowadays I’m listening to all kinds of ‘EDM’ music, every week I’m checking the podcast of <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0SfsnGyD8FpIN4U4WCkBZ5" target="_blank">Armin van Buuren</A>, scouting some fresh new beats. And from time to time listening to some old 90 – 00 beats, <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/7dGJo4pcD2V6oG8kP0tJRR" target="_blank">Eminem</A>, so kind of all sort of music.</SPAN><SPAN class="para_break"><I class="copy_only"><BR /></I></SPAN></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG>You're the first Rock Star with a Backstage Intro since RSP 2.0. What brought you to the Community?</STRONG><BR /><SPAN>Yes, I’m really honored to be a part of the team! It’s a few years ago that I’ve joined the Spotify community. But I think I was searching for another great community to share my love for music and Spotify. I really like talking to all the people on the community. They’re open, understanding, and we share the same interests.</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN class="para_break"><I class="copy_only"><BR /></I></SPAN><STRONG>Easter is over. What were your Easter tunes?</STRONG><BR /><SPAN>I’m currently in love with the newest album from <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/6ySxYu68zTsO5ghsThpGtS" target="_blank">Cosmic Gate</A>, and it was released Friday! &nbsp;I’ve waited a few weeks for the release of <A href="https://open.spotify.com/album/1hNNGb9c82QHS2pYqxmF0g" target="_blank">Wake Your Mind Sessions 002</A>, and it really didn’t disappoint me. It’s so balanced and takes you on a journey with great deep house, techno and trance tunes.</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN class="para_break"><I class="copy_only"><BR /></I></SPAN><STRONG>Thanks for taking your time to chat with us. Before we go, what joke always makes you laugh?</STRONG><BR /><SPAN>I’m not some guy who is always trying to find the funniest joke around. So I will just insert a photo. It’s a hit of the hit comedy show ‘Arrested Development’.</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Tobias.jpg" style="width: 150px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/34469i53BE81E64E387485/image-size/small?v=v2&amp;px=200" role="button" title="Tobias.jpg" alt="Tobias.jpg" /></span></SPAN></P> Wed, 30 Mar 2016 14:00:00 GMT MichaelW 2016-03-30T14:00:00Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Jordy/ba-p/1316753 <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Backstage-pass.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/29824iDC3C85FB87C33440/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Backstage-pass.png" alt="Backstage-pass.png" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 30 Mar 2016 14:00:00 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Jordy/ba-p/1316753 MichaelW 2016-03-30T14:00:00Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Jordy/bc-p/1317241#M2808 Don't confuse him with me haha.
