HKI <3 KTM GIVING THROUGH SOUNDS AND SMILES
THE STORY My father called me about a year ago and asked me to join him to Nepal for his 60th birthday to help the needy. I did not have to think twice.
I put a lot of time into thinking how I could do the most while there. Should I go and work with the locals in the fields or help an organization in building a school? I'm actually really bad in those type of things, so I went back to basics. What am I best at doing and where do I flourish?
Since I first visited a house club at the age of 16, I have constantly wanted to create and share memorable moments through music and collective experiences. And for the last 16 years I have been working as a DJ, event producer and promoter of things I believe in. So that is exactly what I decided I will do on my trip to Nepal.

THE ACTION AND THE FUNSounds and images break language barriers, make people smile and in many cases inspire them to create. I believe that playing with what we might consider ‘everyday gear’, in a place that might think of them as weird machines from the future, will result in a lot of fun and excitement. Aside from the immediate satisfaction and lessons that we might learn from each other, I hope that capturing these moments and presenting them to a large social network, will ignite a viral effect of giving more, to the ones that have so little.
These companies have provided us with games and gear to play with on this project. A VERY big thank you goes for their help!
