Ryder
Who:
Ryder Rønhof, 187 cm / 6’1.5″, Danish, born May 20th.
We Asked:
— Who is someone you admire and why?
I admire a rapper called Capital STEEZ. Rap, in general, have inspired me since I was a little kid. But STEEZ took it to the next level. I admire his lyrical talent which consists of double entendres, clever wordplay and a certain vibe that is hard to find elsewhere. To me the lyrics and wordplay matter a lot. It is also something I am very aware of when I write poetry.
— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you?
I like dancing disco. Growing up, my mother and stepdad always heard disco while cooking dinner. They also host disco parties with costumes every once in a while for their friends. And you will find me on the dancefloor to every single of the parties.
— Who is your favorite entertainer?
If I had to choose one, and only one entertainer, it would have to be George Carlin. He is my all-time favorite comedian. I like how he is so honest with the audience and he talks about subjects that are critical of society, while still keeping it fun.
