INTERVIEW
We sat down with Mikkel Baltser Dørig for our SS20 JDL Stories for a talk about the past, present and future.
When did you start playing guitar and why?
My dad played a bit of guitar, his spanish guitar was hanging on the wall, so I grabbed it sometimes, I guess from I was small, like 6-7 y/o.
What is the best thing about having a base in Copenhagen?
I like that Copenhagen isn't too big, you can actually walk or bike around. Also it's close to the nature, the ocean and the forest.
What has inspired you in your musical style?
I guess I'm inspired by things with soul and nerve. I'm into all music, if it tells a story."
What are some of the highlights of your career in the last years?
Playing Orange Stage at Roskilde Festival, was the highlight.
What is happening in 2020?
I'm becoming a dad for the first time :)
