Hi there! Thanks for the interview- can you say “hi” to everyone in your native language?

I’m originally from Poland. I moved to Berlin 2001 and started my economic studies. Then I fell in love with the city… and here I am! It’s been eleven years! So some people say I am Berlinerin now!

How did you get introduced to SoundCloud?

I started using SoundCloud a few years ago and found it very fresh and friendly! I found the job offer on the SoundCloud site while listening to my favourite tunes. I love the idea of SoundCloud and the interaction of music & creativity. It sounds to me like a perfect combination!

What do you do at SoundCloud?

I joined the finance team. I do the monthly accounting and take care of the financial issues.

I really hate the sound of my alarm clock in the morning.

It’s a german one: großartig! If you use it everything sounds better!

How is it working at such an International and diverse office?

It’s awesome! I love the cultural diversity. I love the fact that people working here simply love what they are doing! Everyone is so passionate about working here. It’s great feeling to be a part of it!

If you could say that you are passionate about anything, what would it be?

Winter sports! I love snowboarding, skiing and I became keen on waterskiing and wakeboarding recently. I think everyone should try this. It’s an extreme fun! I also love music!

What are your favorite sounds on the cloud & why?

I like many kinds of music and there are way too many, but all my favorite sounds have something in common: they make me feel good! Here are two of my favorites!
