Tell us something about yourself.</STRONG></FONT></P> <P><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;">I’m an avid music listener from Estonia, which lies in Northern Europe. </SPAN><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;">Besides listening to music, I really enjoy drawing and painting. My favourite mediums are graphite, watercolours and oil colours. I also do craftings, such as sewing and beading. Whatever keeps me interested, really! </SPAN><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;">I am also curious on computers and how <span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-right" image-alt="spotifyspotify"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/skins/images/E8C7CA4EE1E57E69B47CAAF221274929/responsive_peak/images/image_not_found.png" alt="spotifyspotify" /></span>they work... <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span></SPAN></P> <P>I grew up in the wild, and I'm currently living in the countryside; but that doesn’t mean I'm not in for some excellent (bass-heavy) music to get down to!</P> <P><BR /><FONT color="#000000"><STRONG>Do you prefer listening to songs in your own language or in another language? Why?</STRONG></FONT></P> <P><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;">There are a few songs in my language that I like to listen to, but the majority of what I listen to tends to be instrumental or with samples that speak a foreign language. </SPAN><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;"><BR /></SPAN><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;">Most of my favourite artists are in a foreign language.</SPAN></P> <P><STRONG> </STRONG></P> <P><FONT color="#333300"><STRONG>If you could be part of any band/group for a day who would that be and why?</STRONG></FONT></P> <P><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;">Oh, that would be the live crew for ISAM show (<A href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3mvkWMe6swnknwscwvGCHO" target="_self">Amon Tobin</A>). The technology behind it is wicked (seriously, live-mapping animations to a wall of 3D cubicles!), and Amon is a wise man with a very soft voice. It would be cool to chat with him. </SPAN></P> <P><FONT color="#333300"><STRONG> </STRONG></FONT></P> <P><FONT color="#333300"><STRONG>Is there a playlist that you’re proud of which you’d like to share with us? What was the inspiration behind this? </STRONG></FONT></P> <P><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;">I actually have very few playlists. A couple of main ones and a handful of sidekicks. But one that I’ve constantly built and updated is a playlist consisting of any song Amon Tobin has played in his sets. Every song's recognised. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:">😄</span></SPAN></P> <P> </P> <P><A href="https://open.spotify.com/user/1185903410/playlist/4TbyuRDj5DjZQwcPEFM1Zs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://open.spotify.com/user/1185903410/playlist/4TbyuRDj5DjZQwcPEFM1Zs</A></P> <P> </P> <P><FONT color="#000000"><STRONG>Thanks for taking your time to chat with us. Before we go, what joke always makes you laugh?</STRONG></FONT></P> <P><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;">Currently, I remember only all those very inappropriate ones (thanks, Dad)... So instead I’ll give this interesting story I saw on Youtube.</SPAN><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;"><BR /></SPAN><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;">The commenter had a neighbour, an old lady who had two parrots. That’s the comment:</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-weight: 400;">“Years ago I had an elderly neighbour who had 2 parrots she'd had over 50 years in Florida. She let them loose and they flew around outside and never left. They were  "Florita" and "Rebecca ". Don't know what kind they were, but one had red feathers under its wings and she'd say: "Florita, show us your red underwear" and it would lift up its wings and say "O, you naughty girl!"</SPAN></P> <P> </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> </P> <P style="font-size: 14px;"><EM> </EM></P> <CENTER style="font-size: 14px;"> <P><EM>  </EM></P> <P><EM> </EM></P> <EM><BR /></EM> <P> </P> <P> </P> </CENTER></TD> </TR> </TBODY> </TABLE> </CENTER> Fri, 31 Dec 2021 07:53:40 GMT EthanS1 2021-12-31T07:53:40Z Backstage Intro: Meet Claudia! https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Claudia/ba-p/1814234 <P> </P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left" image-alt="medium.png"><img src="https://community.spotify.com/skins/images/E8C7CA4EE1E57E69B47CAAF221274929/responsive_peak/images/image_not_found.png" alt="medium.png" /></span></P> <P> </P> Fri, 31 Dec 2021 07:53:40 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Claudia/ba-p/1814234 EthanS1 2021-12-31T07:53:40Z Re: Backstage Intro: Meet Claudia! https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Claudia/bc-p/1831378#M6791 <P><a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/995674">@Sebasty</a> pleasure to meet you for real!</P> Mon, 14 Aug 2017 18:25:58 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/The-Blog-Vault/Backstage-Intro-Meet-Claudia/bc-p/1831378#M6791 crematedman 2017-08-14T18:25:58Z
