I'm a 25 year-old child (YES!) from Latvia. In my free time I like digging around for new, inspiring music--this is my drug and I love this addiction <img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://community.spotify.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /> I'm also an ice hockey fan. With no words just watch this <img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://community.spotify.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /></P> <P><SPAN> </SPAN></P> <div class="video-embed-center video-embed"><iframe class="embedly-embed" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FGiPR-QZSHEo%3Ffeature%3Doembed&display_name=YouTube&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DGiPR-QZSHEo&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FGiPR-QZSHEo%2Fhqdefault.jpg&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="225" height="127" scrolling="no" title="Latvian Hockey fans in Torino" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><BR /> <P><SPAN> </SPAN></P> <P><SPAN><STRONG>So, what kind of music are you into?</STRONG></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN><STRONG> </STRONG></SPAN></P> <P>Oh thanks for this question! The biggest inspiration for me is <A href="https://open.spotify.com/user/1187122689/playlist/3Cb5KY5cCdek5HGDS1Lp0e" target="_self">uplifting and progressive trance</A>. I'm also addicted to <A href="http://open.spotify.com/user/1187122689/playlist/0HJnyHeRWeXMPFpckeROGR" target="_self">Hardstyle, Chill Out, House Music</A>.</P> <P><SPAN style="line-height: 15px;"> </SPAN></P> <P><STRONG>You're new to the Rock Star Program and you are already the number one top contributor! What brought you to join the Rock Star Program?</STRONG></P> <P><SPAN><STRONG> </STRONG></SPAN></P> <P>It's great to help. But the greatest thing is when my advice is really helpful. So if I'm addicted to Spotify and music why not help other people with Spotify too? <img id="smileyvery-happy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyvery-happy" src="https://community.spotify.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.gif" alt="Smiley Very Happy" title="Smiley Very Happy" /></P> <P><SPAN> </SPAN></P> <P><STRONG>We all have music we love and remember from our childhoods. What were your favorite tunes when you were a kid?</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG> </STRONG></P> <P>My music taste changes from time to time. My childhood was filled with some <A href="https://open.spotify.com/user/1187122689/playlist/1D9NDP8SD9zL0Hi8xQuwcH" target="_self">heavy</A> music genres and bands.</P> <P> </P> <P><STRONG>Thanks for taking the time to chat with us. Before we go, what joke always makes you laugh?</STRONG><BR /> <BR />Thanks you too. </P> <P> </P> <P><IMG src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/28680i2233FF3911142684/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&px=-1" border="0" alt="Joke" title="Joke" width="436" height="255" /></P> <P> </P> </DIV> Mon, 08 Jun 2015 10:10:43 GMT Jordi 2015-06-08T10:10:43Z Backstage Intro: Meet Deniss! https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Deniss/ba-p/1148637 <P><IMG src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/28462iBB2AE5AB78F35BDA/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&px=-1" border="0" alt="original-3.png" title="original-3.png" /></P> Mon, 08 Jun 2015 10:10:43 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Deniss/ba-p/1148637 Jordi 2015-06-08T10:10:43Z Re: Backstage Intro: Meet Deniss! https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Deniss/bc-p/1148890#M4727 <P>Great interview, Deniss.</P> Mon, 08 Jun 2015 15:56:14 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Deniss/bc-p/1148890#M4727 bellad0nna 2015-06-08T15:56:14Z Re: Backstage Intro: Meet Deniss! https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Deniss/bc-p/1149282#M4728 <P>Nice to meet you <a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/892154">@atom1989</a></P> Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:07:39 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Deniss/bc-p/1149282#M4728 meahtenoha 2015-06-09T09:07:39Z
