And now for the tougher questions:

What is your life’s aspiration?

On a top-level, freedom is very important to me. I want to be able to do as much as possible of what I want in my lifetime. The way I see it, we get one chance to do something with our lives and I think it makes sense to dream a little and try to optimize the time that you have. I believe that what I am best at and where I can give the most value is producing music. I have always dreamed of being able to live off my music, but growing up, I have realized that it’s also ok for music to be my passion. It’s ok for it to be my hobby and my side hustle. I love the work I am doing now and am happy to continue doing it.

“Why can’t we just all get along and stop fighting?”

- Kalle Månsson

When’s the last time you felt as though you elevated a community?

Together with a colleague, I founded a running club called Scrambled Legs. We meet up every Saturday at 10 AM and go running together. Each time one of us hosts a brunch so that we can sit down and hang out - beyond the run. We’ve been doing it for about a year now and it’s really fun. Everyone is super engaged and happy to be a part of the group. Really, the only criteria is that if you’re going to join the club, you have to be willing to host - that way we can be sure that everyone is a team player and willing to do something nice for those around them.

What is your most memorable SOUNDBOKS moment?

In general, it’s just a great place to work. The devil is in the details and it’s really the small things that make this such a fun company to work for. We have an awesome culture that somehow seems to suit everyone even though we are such a diverse group. And maybe that’s the whole secret - the culture is built and upheld by the people. I meet awesome people here every day and I can always learn something new from or have interesting conversations with my colleagues.
