Besides singing and writing lyrics for Dust In Mind, Jen is also a video assistant and a merchandiser for other bands. She spends her free time customising clothing pieces, petting her cats, and she never refuses a good pretzel. Check how she managed to deal with our song challenge below.

A song you can’t resist dancing to: Dropkick Murphys – Rose Tattoo

“It’s a song I share with my closest friends, and it inspires joy, happiness, abundance. There is such a good energy in this song for me.”

A song with an amazing music video: Lord Of The Lost – Black Halo

“Wow, that’s a hard one. There is so much inspiring music videos. Now I think about some music videos of Radiohead, but in a more metal register, suddenly I have a music video of Lord Of The Lost in mind. “Black Halo”. I love the place, I love the way they are in water. It’s beautiful.”

Your favorite song for a rainy day: Anathema – Untouchable

“Oh… A LOT, haha. I am a “rainy day” person: D But one very precious song for me and one of my favorite bands ever is Anathema – Untouchable.”

Your go-to pump-up song: Machine Head – Imperium

“It’s a song I was listening to all the time on the way to high school and it brought me strength, energy. And I still feel it very strong now, every time I hear this song. I feel like I have to raise my fist in the air, and I wanna shout it loud, haha!”

Favourite Dust in Mind song to perform live: Lost Control

“I think it will be “Lost Control”. It’s one of my favorite songs ever, and there is different emotions in it, so I am looking forward to sing this one live.”

A song by Dust in Mind you would play for your younger self: I’m Different

“I hesitate between “Lost Control” again and “I’m Different”. But I will say “I’m Different” because actually, it’s a song I wrote for all the kids that are bullied. But it can relate to everyone who feels different, and who needs to feel accepted.”
