When I came to study in China in 2008, just in time for the Olympics, there was a great sense of optimism in the country. I thought: I was born too late for the clubs in Berlin after the fall of the Wall and much too late for the New York of Warhol and Patti Smith. But I was in exactly the right place here. The subculture was booming and I knew: I want to report on this country.<\/p>\n
During my time as a journalist in China from 2017 to 2019, but also on my research trips to countries like Kenya or Cambodia, I realized that every nation can also be explored through its pop culture. For me, music became a key to countries and temperaments. It creates a framework through which the present can be clearly experienced. And the best way to do this is while on the move.<\/p>\n
In my reports, I try to provide perspectives on global pop culture phenomena that do not settle for exoticism and \u201cworld music\u201d clich\u00e9s, but take seriously the mantra that music is a \u201cuniversal language.\u201d How can we, for example, talk about a united Europe when we don\u2019t even know which songs touch the hearts of our neighboring countries?<\/p>\n
My articles, interviews and analyses appear in magazines and newspapers such as Rolling Stone, Welt, SZ, Zeit and Fluter. When I'm not traveling, I work in Berlin as an editor for the deep journalism platform Table.Media.<\/p>\n
