Hi everybody !
My name's Salomé. I'm 18 and I live in Belgium, near Liège (Luik).
I study foreign languages (English, Dutch & Japanese thanks to extra lessons) in Brussels. I fell in love with the UK when I was just a kid. I know this is no heaven but I've always enjoyed each trips I made there. The last one was in Edinburgh and I really do miss this place ! I'm really fascinated by foreign cultures and I hope to be able to study for a year in Japan in the future.
I can speak English pretty fluently but it's not perfect though and for Dutch, talking remains hard but it's getting better since I started watching Dutch & Flemish movies, which I love by the way So if any Dutch speaker needs help with French, I'm YOUR MAN (well, girl, but you get what I mean ^^').
I can't really tell when I discovered Mika... The fact is that I needed time to fully appreciate his work. I first heard "Grace Kelly" when it was aired on radio here. I thought the song was really amazing but this was the only one I knew and it was played over & over again on radio so for some time, I couldn't bear it anymore... "Relax" came a bit after, as well as "Happy Ending", and these two songs could NOT get out of my head. I remember singing them whenever I was on my own... And it all began, I was addicted I was pretty young at that time so I would have never thought of asking my parents to go & see Mika's gig :') But for the 2nd album, I was ready ! The CD was released a bit after my birthday and right away, I booked tickets for his gig in Antwerp Although it was rescheduled, I could still go and this day remains as one of the best in my life. :> The only regret I have is not having taken a few pictures but my friend was afraid we couldn't get in with a camera, no need to tell you that I won't listen to her next time HAHA However, not having a camera maybe allowed me to fully enjoy the gig, I was taken away by Mika's magicn singing, jumping and so on I loved the part he said "Dat is Mika en ik ben dood", as I said, I'm not Dutch but I can understand and I just thought it was really cute when he said it :>
I couldn't make it to his last 2 gigs in Belgium so I'm REALLY looking forward to see him in Brussels in November. :DDD I don't really know if I'd like to meet him... I'd love to greet him for his work but I'm always scared of annoying artists after their gigs :'(
We'll see :')
Beside Mika, I listen to artists such as Emilie Simon, Charlie Winston (YOU HAVE TO GO TO ONE OF HIS GIGS ! *_*), Olivia Ruiz, Dionysos, The Black Keys, Ayaka, Greeeen, Saule, Selah Sue, AKS, Kate Nash, ect.
It's been a while since I didn't came here. The fact was that I couldn't log in anymore, I couldn't get back my lost password =.=' but miracles happens and I could finally fully access the forum ! I'm back~ I have kept reading news on the forum but being REALLY part of it is much better though. Really happy to be back :-)
Thank you for reading ^^''
