Born and raised in Croatia, Sofia has had a special relationship with the dancefloor since her teenage years. It’s where she feels most free and connected to people. She lived in Italy where she discovered festivals, techno and the sense of belonging. In Amsterdam, this relationship strengthened and she realized her place is among artists, community builders, dancers, and dreamers. Joining AD has fuelled her passion to keep expanding her potential and building a thriving future for AD and our artists, but also for the techno community.

Born and raised in Türkiye, Begüm has been deeply connected to music for as long as she can remember — what started as a personal escape quickly became a calling as she was studying to become a Chemist. She found herself drawn to the melody in her head and the healing power of the dance floor, eventually turning that passion into a profession. Her journey took her through all types of creative spaces in Türkiye, Germany and now to the Netherlands, where she finds purpose in making sure every piece falls perfectly into place at AD— for the artists, the art, and the culture that nurtures them.
