Für Svenja Koch bringt das Schreiben über Musik zwei langjährige Leidenschaften zusammen. Dabei ist die Wahl-Berlinerin immer auf der Suche nach der Geschichte hinter dem Gehört- und Gesehenen. Sie mag Ungewöhnliches, neue Blicke auf Bekanntes und findet lange Vernachlässigtes immer eine Entdeckung wert. Auf Twitter ist sie unter @svenja_loves zu finden.
