FM: How would you describe your personal style and
aesthetic?
DB: Good question. I think its a mixture of a clean
and stylish high-class look, combined with the
raw power of kick-ass rock. I love clean and reduced stuff as
much as I like wild & loud
burnouts. Its the special mixture of both
elements.

what you want.
Be your own boss and be responsible for what you do. That is
