This week's featured story comes from the Martin & Sylvia's Family Tree of Stories collection.

It's called "Part Six: Nanni's Story."

Nanni's story is about how she loved to sing to horses when her father, a large animal vet, was treating them. The horses always responded. When her father took her to the Kentucky Derby to treat one of the competing horses, a most incredible opportunity presented itself. This is a story about what magic can happen when you authentically wish to help others.

Sound is not what I do. Sound is who I am.

Born and raised in Breda, I’ve been crafting music since I was 12 — building beats in my father’s shed with analog keyboards, vinyl, and tape decks. Over the years, I transformed that raw foundation into something deeper: a sonic language rooted in faith, frequencies, and feeling.

COENMUSIC is my universe. Every track is a story, every drop a message. I believe House Music is vibration, and vibration is life.

Whether I’m releasing from the heart of Breda or reaching out into the unknown, the message remains the same:

Let the frequency speak. Let the soul respond.

This is not just music.
This is COENMUSIC.

Academic career guide. I firmly believe that your academic career has the potential for joy as well as success. I help academics build their confidence to do the work they find meaningful and find the time to do the important work.
