Tell us something about yourself.</STRONG></P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">Hey! I’m Tim, 17 years old and I live in The Hague, The Netherlands. I am studying Media Management in Rotterdam and I really enjoy photography (<A href="https://www.instagram.com/phototimmie/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/phototimmie/</A>), being outside with my dog (good combination with photography) and spending time with my family. I work at a national newspaper for the youth and as a photographer in Madurodam, a tourist attraction in The Hague.</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-right" image-alt="_DSC1470.png" style="width: 200px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/54834i5EC534147C2D8E4E/image-size/small?v=v2&amp;px=200" role="button" title="_DSC1470.png" alt="_DSC1470.png" /></span><STRONG>So, what kind of music are you into?</STRONG></P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">Pfew, tough one. I’m able to relax to Reggae, but I like House as well. <BR />Most of the time, I’m somewhere in between, relaxing to those summer-vibe-semi-deephouse or spending my time with the latest pop tracks. I recently went to see&nbsp;<A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/7EQ0qTo7fWT7DPxmxtSYEc" target="_blank">Bastille</A>, which is my favorite band at the moment. I think they describe my music taste perfectly: they have a variety of songs, each with a different approach.</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;"><STRONG>Please describe yourself with a song. Why did you pick this one?</STRONG></P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">Easy! "<A href="https://open.spotify.com/track/70Vdd1gx5tn84jkAU31ASv" target="_blank">Sexy And I Know It</A>" by <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3sgFRtyBnxXD5ESfmbK4dl" target="_blank">LMFAO</A>. Nah, just kidding. This is a really, really hard question. After two hours of thinking, I would choose "<A href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6splO3UF8hSmK33y5fJTNk" target="_blank">Lay It All On Me (feat. Ed Sheeran)</A>" by <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/4WN5naL3ofxrVBgFpguzKo" target="_blank">Rudimental</A>.</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;"><A href="spotify:track:6splO3UF8hSmK33y5fJTNk" target="_self">spotify:track:6splO3UF8hSmK33y5fJTNk</A></P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">First of all, it’s a funky, uplifting song, that describes my overall-mood. The song is about being open to someone, and being the one they can trust and lean on. I think it’s really important to have someone in your life who is this person. I try my best to be this person for others.</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;"><STRONG>Christmas is coming! Do you have favorite Christmas songs?</STRONG></P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">Yeah! This is my all-time-favorite:</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;"><A href="spotify:track:1trEoMePpSe54vAuW4KQrv" target="_self">spotify:track:1trEoMePpSe54vAuW4KQrv</A></P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">But I like those new-fashioned ones as well:</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;"><A href="spotify:track:5o9JHeY8e47bXCjSZOnD7b" target="_self">spotify:track:5o9JHeY8e47bXCjSZOnD7b</A></P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;"><STRONG>Do you like to listen to the good old tunes every year? (like Wham!, Bruce Springsteen etc)</STRONG></P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">Yes! We’re listening to a mix of the classics combined with the newer ones. The only one I skip is <A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/4x1nvY2FN8jxqAFA0DA02H" target="_blank">John Lennon</A>'s "<A href="https://open.spotify.com/track/3zJw3rugfpVrmBeDDnUYzy" target="_blank">Happy Xmas (War is Over)</A>", I tried to give it a chance but I just can’t listen to it. I’m sorry.</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;"><STRONG>Thanks for taking your time to chat with us. Before we go, what joke always makes you laugh?</STRONG></P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">You’re welcome! I don’t know a lot of jokes, they normally just happen when I’m in a conversation. I’m really into cat GIFs, if that counts?<STRONG><BR /><A href="http://giphy.com/gifs/cat-fail-sYHOVHt74OWas" target="_blank"><IMG src="https://ip2.i.lithium.com/3d3e549dc1b1678ded5b0c01a2cbad8a4bfc037f/68747470733a2f2f6d656469612e67697068792e636f6d2f6d656469612f7359484f56487437344f5761732f67697068792e676966" border="0" alt="cat fail cat fail" /></A><BR /></STRONG></P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <CENTER><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Screen Shot 2016-03-03 at 2.43.49 PM.png" style="width: 207px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/34334i1F5B71686F79891F/image-dimensions/207x186?v=v2" width="207" height="186" role="button" title="Screen Shot 2016-03-03 at 2.43.49 PM.png" alt="Screen Shot 2016-03-03 at 2.43.49 PM.png" /></span></CENTER> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P style="font-size: 14px;"><EM>&nbsp;</EM></P> <CENTER style="font-size: 14px;"> <P><EM>&nbsp;</EM></P> <P><EM>&nbsp;&nbsp;</EM></P> <EM>&nbsp;</EM></CENTER></TD> </TR> </TBODY> </TABLE> </CENTER> Wed, 23 Nov 2016 15:00:00 GMT MichaelW 2016-11-23T15:00:00Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Tim/ba-p/1506415 <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="large.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/54899i5C71CC21E2E5841B/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="large.png" alt="large.png" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 23 Nov 2016 15:00:00 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Tim/ba-p/1506415 MichaelW 2016-11-23T15:00:00Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Tim/bc-p/1507279#M5789 <P>nice to meet you&nbsp;<a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/881687">@timmieschaap</a></P> Thu, 24 Nov 2016 06:08:20 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Tim/bc-p/1507279#M5789 crematedman 2016-11-24T06:08:20Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Tim/bc-p/1507656#M5790 <P>Yeah!
