Check out the fun Speaker Spotlight below to get to know Hans a little more before his Music Biz panel.
If you could have front row tickets to any concert in any city at any venue — what and where would you choose?
It would be for the recording of “The New York Rock and Soul Revue: Live at the Beacon” back in 1991. Donald Fagan had a stellar line up, performing one great song after another. My favorite is Michael McDonald’s “Lonely Teardrops”. The upbeat melody, including a great instrumental part, with lyrics crying out gets me every time. Not to mention it always reminds me of the scene in the movie, Leaving Las Vegas, where Nicolas Cage is driving to…well…Las Vegas.
If you had to pick just one album to listen to for the rest of your life — what would it be and why?
It has to be Dusk by The The. This album was one of the major reasons why my wife and I started dating 22 years ago. Our shared love of the album helped bring us together!
If you could perform with a hologram of any artist, who would it be and what song would you sing?
Easy, it would be performing together with my then 12 year old daughter in the finale of the Danish Voice Jr show in 2015. She blew the roof off with her version of “Everybody Wants to Be a Cat” (in Danish) from Aristocats. Watch the following and I am sure you will understand! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_elZBydhYPw
