What music are you into at the moment?
Never for Ever by Kate Bush
What was the first record you bought—any interesting story behind it?
Oo..leaâ¦leoâ¦!!! by Padhyangan Project, because when I was nine years old the album and the artist was so hyped, one of the most favourite local artist back then.
What is your all-time favorite album? Why?
Gling-Gló by Björk, because I like all the strange sound in it. The Icelandic language and accent is so attractive and interesting for me.
What was the worst record you ever purchased?
Before I purchase any album, I always do a little research, read the reviews and listen for the single carefully, so I never end up buying bad records, I guess⦠hahaha…

Hmmmm⦠Kate Bush hahaha…
What song do you choose to start your weekend?
“Swim” by Oh No Ono
And song you choose to end your weekend?
