Tea(m) Time with Jon Crooke

It is Friday again, that means it is time for our weekly employee interview series that we have dubbed “Tea(m) Time”! Today, help us welcome Jon Crooke to our team in Berlin!

This week I went on a walk with Jon in the Mitte neighborhood which our SoundCloud HQ calls home in Berlin. We stumbled upon the cemetery grounds that our office overlooks, found a nice place to sit and we used the SoundCloud iOs app to record an interview. We talked about Jon’s nomadic life, what word he loves, what he digs about Berlin and much much more! Listen to the full interview below!

Name: Jon Crooke,  SoundCloud iOS Developer, Berlin, Germany

Originally from: The UK but mostly he is a nomad.

Wildest place he has ever lived: In a trailer park in Colorado.

His favorite sound: Wind chimes in the summer during his student years.

Favorite word: Yes!

He is passionate about: Winter sports, music & climbing.

His favorite thing about Berlin is: The relaxing vibes!

His favorite thing about working at SoundCloud so far is: Beer – o- clock! Every Friday after our bi-weekly demos, we get together on our roof terrace, drink beer and soak in the sun.

Here are some of Jon’s favorite sounds on the ‘cloud:

Joy Orbison & Boddika – Nil
