Introduce yourself with one of your core values:
My name is Jip, I’m 20 years old and I think love is the key of life.
What’s your biggest flaw?
I’ve thought about this a lot. My biggest flaw is that sometimes I can seem to other people so much in my head that I forget about what’s going on around me.
Which was your first live concert?
My first live concert was A$AP Rocky in Amsterdam and it was quite intense. There wasn’t nearly enough oxygen in the room, so there were people collapsing. I will never forget that moment.
Are you a morning or a night person?
I think everybody can be both. I really like the mornings, there is something special, it’s a beginning on a new day, you don’t know what is going to happen, and it’s just a fresh start. Otherwise in the nights you can leave the day behind you, chill, I think you can live a different experience. I definitely can be a night and a morning person at the same time.
