New York / Music Venue

Brooklyn's only black-owned Jazz Club and musician-run nonprofit supporting the arts and community since 1981.

Portland / Bar

I love stopping by the Skyline after a hike through Forest Park. They have an amazing view, a brick BBQ pit, horse shoes, ping pong, and a REAL jukebox.

Munich / Bridge

I'm partial to this spot because I lived right across it for over a year and owe several beautiful evenings to it. Grab a beer or a gluhwein (depending on what time of the year you've landed here) from either of the two kiosks, each at the ends of this bridge, walk from the side closer to humboldtstrasse down to the river and read a book, cycle along the river, have a picnic on a lush green spot with friends or just bask in the sun. Or do none of these and soak in the view from the bridge.

London / Market

At first a memory of an old relationship, it quickly became my favourite market. Major highlight for the gin tasting with rosemary on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Lyon / Cafe

Photography, gallery, good coffee, good beer, good cakes, nice talks, nice people (and a few steel beams).

Tbilisi / Place

It is the only record shop in Tbilisi. The store unites 3 main directions: record shop, a podcast and the label. I love hanging out here, the atmosphere and vibe of this place is incredible. It is a hang out place for all the DJ's and music lovers. I appreciate this place also because after 2008 war, the country fell behind, struggling with poverty. Everything built fell apart once again. Despite this, friends and DJ’s did not abandon their passion and dedication for electronic music, they opened up a Vodkast record shop in 2015. Since then, it has become a favorite place for many people to hang out, listen to great music an buy good vinyls.

London / Museum

Tate Modern can always be relied on for offering up interesting, challenging exhibits, housed in great architecture and with one of Londons best cultural bookstores. An ever reliable weekend hangout.

Warner Robins / Bar

I think it was around last summer I started frequenting an open mic here. It was every Saturday for a long time. I met a ton of good musicians and great people here, so if you are in the area when they have an open mic you should check it out. Oh yeah, and they have coffee too.

Richmond / Art

These iconic recording studios are the beating heart of the Melbourne Music Scene. Musicians from all over the world come here to rehearse and record albums. Every recording room has an installation by a different Melbourne artist and the front is adorned in a two giant billboards with changing artists work (this one is mine from 2017). Everyone from famous locals such as Courtney Barnett, Archie Roach, The Drones and Paul Kelly to visitors like Tool, Beck and Elvis Costello. Founders Quincy McLean and Helen Marcou are total legends too.

Florence / Art

Inspiring Hidden place in the Hearth of Florence.
