What’s one subject you could talk about for at least 5 minutes?
Maybe it sounds strange but I could talk about food for hours and hours. It’s not that I’m thinking about food all the time, certainly not. But what I like about food is that you can make everything healthy. And there are a lot of recipes that you can use, try and change with other healthy products. Or add some other healthy products to recipes to make things more healthier and even better and more tasty.
If you could hang out with any three people who would you choose?
Oh, hard question… I think I would choose for Doutzen, Beyonce and Ariana Grande. Those 3 people are so inspiring and I think a mix of those 3 and hanging out with them together would be a dream. I think I could hardly say or do anything because of the nerves. But singing with Beyonce and Ariana and afterwords model tips from Doutzen, yes that would be nice! Ha ha.
What’s the last song that got stuck in your head?
I’m listening to music all the time and also singing in my head all the time, so that’s hard to remember. But I think it was Hotline Bling from Drake. I really love Drake. When he’s giving a concert in Holland again, I’m gonna do everything to be there!
Name two song you know all the lyrics to:
So funny all those questions. It’s like you really know me because I really love music. But my answer would be hilarious I think. The two songs I know all the lyrics off are “De Bom” van Doe Maar and “Even aan mijn moeder vragen” van Bloem. Those songs are two old Dutch songs which I sang in my younger years all the time.
Describe a favorite childhood memory:
When I was a child, I often went to my grandparents with my niece. We always sang songs and performed to our (grand)parents. We always had so much fun! The two songs I named at the question are just two examples of a lot of songs we always sang together.
