Jonas Renkse Quotes
I do warm-up but it’s not very technical. Before an hour before every show we always put on some music that everybody in the band likes. We have maybe a beer or a glass of wine and I just try to sing along to those songs that we play just to get my voice warmed up. I practice to sing as much as possible before going on stage.
