Fun facts about me
- I have never won any big international percussion nor marimba competitions. I knew it was not my path but I kept trying for 5 years but wisely gave up already in age 27.
- I cannot stand practicing orchestra excerpts with the mindset for winning an audition.. I forced myself to try one audition for orchestra job a long time ago, and it was the very last time.
- Despite that I can't stand practicing excerpts, I really LOVE playing timpani in the orchestra.
- I was heavily criticised by one of previous percussion teachers that I didn't have good sense of rhythm (!?).
- My hands and shoulders were once injured to a point I could not hold a cup nor chopsticks. Amazing how human bodies can recover!
- I have never been able to get any other jobs than being a musician/artist. I have had cleaning job for one day but got fired on the very same day.
- NO ONE has ever been asking for my diploma since I graduated, except for the Danish Immigration Office. And I found out I lost my master's diploma when I had to apply for the Danish Citizenship.
- I make better kimchi than the Koreans do.
