    Pay Kolmüs - Paying it Forward

    The season finale is here. I'm so excited to finally share this conversation recorded a few months back but as fresh as ever. Introducing the one and only Pay Kolmüs aka Pay Fresh who sat down with me for a very candid chat which taught me so much. Pay is a music industry professional with over 25 years of experience, wearing many hats from music journalist, to moderator, to host and artist consultant. She created a Music Business Curriculum, teaches business masterclasses globally and holds a seat on the supervisory board of Melkweg in Amsterdam. Safe to say I was a bit intimidated by this powerhouse woman, yet was stoked to discover how warm, genuine and kind she actually is. Hope you’ll appreciate our conversation about what it takes to make it in the industry as a woman, how to keep your integrity in the process, how to stay focused, confident and how to accept yourself. Pay gets very honest about her experiences and also tells a couple of fun stories involving some big profile names i.e. Kevin Hart (and more). Please enjoy & check out Pay’s universe on ⁠her Instagram⁠. Thank you for being part of the Add To Queue universe for its first season. This project has been a labour of love, which I started while being pregnant and juggling a full time job. My new life as a mom and full time employee has brought me a whole set of new challenges but also joys. As music continues to be one of my biggest passions, I am committed to continue to invest in ATQ for its second season, but I can't commit to a launch date yet. Hope you'll stick around and until next time, please don't stop the music. Follow ATQ on Instagram to get further updates: https://www.instagram.com/addtoqueue_/

    Mariposa – Making it Happen One Rap at a Time

    I am finally back (after a brief hiatus). Not only with a new episode, but also with a 4 month-old daughter. Today's episode, recorded earlier this year while I was pregnant, is short & sweet, but FEISTY . I haven’t met anyone as determined to make sh** happen as Mariposa. She completely won me over from our very first chat and I couldn’t wait to share with you her story and badass personality. Her Spotify bio gives you a hint of who she is as an artist but in this conversation you will learn who the actual human behind the artist is and maybe get some inspiration to also grab your destiny in your own hands and build the life that you want, with integrity, creativity and courage (like she did). She’s unapologetically herself, multi-talented, mega badass, but somehow manages to stay humble and super nice. She’s an actual queen. Amsterdam raised, Colombian-Italian, Mariposa is the thrilling global Y2K-tinged artist you need to know. She is redefining what Latin rap can be today with her sound and DIY-aesthetic. She taught herself how to make music and put out her first songs in 2021. She is at the forefront of a movement shifting the music landscape to be more fluid and inclusive, representing a generation that exists between cultures, languages, genres and multi-dimensional identities. Please enjoy our chat and watch out for more BTS content on the @addtoqueue_ IG. Also make sure to follow Mariposa and stream her music HERE. Thanks for listening!

    On success, resilience and passion – Toya K

    Today’s guest is a truly remarkable young woman. An example of resilience, perseverance, unapologetic optimism and relentless hard work, all in service of her lifelong pursuit to live and breathe her passion and purpose. I felt truly blessed to have had the chance to meet the mega talented and warm-hearted Toya K, during her short visit to Amsterdam, from her current residence in Paris. In this episode, we discuss her roots, her values, stemmed from a unique upbringing in the the serene village of Grashoek, Namibia, her inspiring mindset, which we can all learn from and her selfless dedication to a greater purpose beyond her music success.   Toya K’s musical journey began at a young age when she actively participated in school choirs and talent shows. This passion for music was further fueled by the vibrant musical culture of the predominantly Ju/hoansi San community in her village, where singing and dancing were integral parts of life. She particularly resonates with artists like Nina Simone, whose impactful song"Black Bird" left a profound mark on her, shaping her identity as a black woman in the most empowering way.   Toya made her debut in the music scene with the release of her song "On Time" in February 2022. She recently released her debut EP ‘Divine Intervention’ - a fusion of Afropop, Amapiano, and R&B/Soul elements, reflecting her diverse musical talents and her ability to evoke deep emotions through her music. She gives more details on her music process and the meanings of some of her most successful songs to date during our conversation. Please enjoy and don’t forget to follow Toya on Instagram @toyurrr and Spotify @Toya K. For exclusive video content from this episode, check out the ATQ Instagram page @addtoqueue_ .

    Winning in life through Jazz - Kody Chambers

    Back in April I sat down with the multi-talented Kody Chambers, learning about jazz, instrument harmonies, advertising and film music production. All while getting a shot of inspiration for how to live your best life by following your dreams. Kody is an American composer, music producer, award-winning multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and songwriter. He started off as a jazz trumpet player and composer in Toronto and New York City, then made his way to Amsterdam where he initially was a music supervisor at MassiveMusic. Currently he continues to grow in his craft and infuse every project he works on with his unique approach, informed by his knowledge of musical harmony and production techniques, as well as his experience in collaborating with international directors and creatives across both film and advertising. It was truly fascinating speaking to him and learning how his mind operates when it comes to music production, composing, but also how music helps him process certain life experiences and emotions, so please enjoy our conversation.

    How to find your unique style as a DJ & producer with Lamsi

    So excited to share this new conversation with Lamsi, Amsterdam-based DJ, producer, teacher and community leader. He's worked with Bambi, Unknown T, Jarreau Vandal, produced a score for hit TV series Top Boy and rocked a set at Boiler Room London, among many other accomplishments in his young career. Lamsi has also gained overall international recognition in Paris, London, Brussels & Moscow, yet remained humble and rooted in his local community and Surinamese culture. In this episode, we speak about how he got into the music industry after a brief stint as a dentist (yep you heard that right), his unique approach to music production, what inspires him outside music, how he stays fit as a DJ or why giving back to his community is such an imortant focus in his career. He also teases an upcoming project rooted in his Surinamese background that is bound to make you sweat on the dancefloor. In case you’ve missed it, there’s a snippet of that already on the Add To Queue Instagram channel, which if you don’t follow by now, please make sure you do, to not miss exclusive video content from each interview and much more.

    Why you need vision and consistency before getting an artist manager - a talk with Nigel, co-founder of Headfirst Music

    Today’s interview takes us into the business world of music, through a very honest and open conversation with the highly respected and equally mysterious Nigel van Ommeren, co-founder of the artist development company based in Amsterdam - Headfirst Music. Nigel started in artist development roughly 10 years ago. The first success was Amsterdam art collective called “Vage Gasten” . This collective evolved from street art painters into a pioneering group of designers, dj’s and event organizers. Four years and over 100 national and international gigs later Nigel decided to focus on the music side of the entertainment business.   Nowadays his roster includes Sevdaliza (who went on to become one of the most anticipated fully independent artists in today’s entertainment business), FS Green, Full Crate and Mariposa. Together with business partner Lijne Kreupeling, Nigel is specialized in paving the way for artists to build independent business structures and strong artist stories. Over the last 10 years Headfirst Music developed artist careers, produced events and worked on numerous brand consultancy projects.   Headfirst Music is not only focused on artist management, but on capturing a cultural movement and amplifying this to a bigger audience.   In this episode, I talk to Nigel about what it actually means to be an artist manager, when should an artist consider getting one, how he discovered this path (without having a clear plan initially) or how an artist manager makes a living. Nigel also tells us why he wants to keep Headfirst Music focused on a small and carefully curated number of artists instead of expanding. We then touch on the evolution of the music industry throughout the years, the cultural differences in music business across different countries, the advice he would give to his son if he were to enter the music business and much more, including behind-the-scenes stories about how Sevdaliza got to work with Madonna or Full Crate with Jungle.   Please enjoy and let me know what you found most interesting from Nigel’s advice and stories.
