How do you listen to music in your everyday life?

Music is my life, and it provides me with a constant energy boost. At home I listen to SONOS: when I get up, during the morning ritual, and when I'm home in the evening. Then I often enjoy listening to my DALI FAZON F5 loudspeakers. I either dance, sing or just relax in my sofa when listening.

When/how did your interest for hi-fi begin?

My ex-boyfriend introduced me to Hi-Fi and DALI 12 years ago. DALI has remained my favourite number one since.

Do you prefer: CD, vinyl or digital?

I usually listen digitally, but I'm interested in the authentic sound of vinyl and will soon purchase one.

Why do you think that there isn’t that many women represented in the audiophile world?

Because we love talking, and not to listen.. ;) I think that women will discover that Hi–Fi anno 2017 doesn’t necessarily mean large black loudspeakers with difficult technical user layout. Nowadays it's easy to find great sound, delicate design and user friendly music systems which connect your speakers.

Which track will always wake a feeling in you?

Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here.. That song was played in my friends funeral and its beautiful.

How/where do you discover new music and artists?

Mostly through friends' recommendations and music lists at Spotify.

The last two records that you have bought?

Sivert Høyem Lioness and Disturbed Asylum - both as digital files.

Is there an artist, genre or period that you are particularly fond of?

I love rock music, and especially from the 70s, 80s and 90s. For example Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Billy Idol, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Foo Fighters.

Which records are the pride of your collection?

Unfortunately I don’t have anyone left.
