Dieuwertje Heuvelings (Massive Talent)
I’m Dieuwertje Heuvelings a twenty something girl living in Amsterdam. I spend my life listening to music. I’m an A&R for MassiveTalent, a company that connects unsigned but talented artists to Brands, Movies, TV shows and Games. Next to looking for unsigned talent I also have my own blog where I post songs that are connected to each other through a single word or thought. Other than my love for music I’m also interested in Will Ferrel movies, conspiracy documentaries, sewing crooked stuff, history books, playing softball and red lipstick.

I’m Frida, a second year Media and Culture student at the UVA. Last year, I finished BNN university and after that I started my own photoblog where I post all sorts of things that inspire me. Although everybody thinks I’m German after just reading my name, Frida actually means ‘unique’ in Egyptian and that is also where my permanent tan comes from. I love traveling, arthouse movies, fashion, reading, art and I’m always in for a good party.
