I didn't take the easy route. I grew up in Holland, busked across Europe to buy a one-way ticket to America to chase a dream. The most valuable thing I've gained isn't credits but perspective. Pour a cup of tea, pull up a chair, and stay awhile.

Hey Sarina... Did Your Music School Really Tell You To Quit Music?
My music school couldn't figure out what shelf to put me on. The principal suggested a day job. Two floors down, Martin Garrix was making beats.

Hi, I'm Sarina.
The short answer to "What do you do?" depends on when you ask. The longer answer is why this website exists. Honest tales from a life uniquely lived. So pour yourself a cup of tea, pull up a chair, and get comfortable. I've probably already made the mistake you're about to make.
