Mick Boskamp (NL)

Mick Boskamp has been active in the Dutch music and media world for more than forty years. He began at Hitkrant, interviewing artists such as Prince, Michael Jackson, Iggy Pop and Blondie, and later spent over twenty years at Playboy Netherlands.

In the nineties he shifted his focus to electronic music. With his column “Nachtboek” he captured nightlife in words and went on to expand it into a radio show, books and compilation albums. He also held key positions as media director at ID&T and editor-in-chief at Yourscene.

“They once called me the Forrest Gump of journalism. In a way they were right, because I was present at many turning points in music history. What stayed with me most is that I could not only witness those moments but also tell them. I am, and will always be, a storyteller.”
