Who’s Behind A Quiet Storm?
A Quick Intro to Martijn
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is… Martijn.
Had to throw in a quick Jay-Z line there. Now you also know my favorite artist, that is a fun way to start.
Before I get sidetracked too quickly, which happens a lot, my name is Martijn. I am 24 years old and I have a big passion for streetwear and everything surrounding the culture.
From a young age I was fully dialed into collecting sneakers and streetwear, so it was only right I ended up in fashion.
These days you will find me working on my own side business in email marketing, sounds boring, I know, and of course building AQS.
Fun fact, both of my businesses are named after two of my favorite hip hop albums of all time. Guess my creative source has been clear from the start.
Martijn — One of the faces behind A Quiet Storm and the writer of our AQS Times.
An Intro to Michael
My name is Michael. I’m 21 years old and co-founder of AQS.
I’m into a bit of everything, from photography to cycling to cooking to fashion to basketball. Chances are, if you see me doing something I love, I’ll try to capture it.
Still an aspiring creative with the camera though, just figuring it out as I go.
I’m currently studying logistics in Amsterdam. They say third time is a charm when it comes to picking a study, so we’ll see how that plays out.
Hopefully this text ages well and I actually finish my bachelor this time ;)
Oh and also, I’m named after Michael Jordan, still slightly disappointed I didn’t inherit the skillset.
That being said, I did show up to my very first basketball practice in Jordan 4s, and Marty laughed when I walked out of the locker room.
That was actually our first interaction haha.
Michael — The other face behind A Quiet Storm and designer of the AQS Times.
Anniversary Tee
Well… almost a year ago we dropped your beloved inaugural tee.
Then we kind of ghosted you. Yeah, not proud of that one. (Or maybe a little… playing hard to get, honey.)
But we’re back.
Michael, time to step in. Show them the “almost” one-year anniversary tee.
And yes, we were actually ghosting you… but only because we’ve been working on a really strong second drop.
One we know you’re going to love.
Bi-Weekly Trivia
Last week our Trivia was about LeBron’s fantastic hairline…
This week’s Trivia is about a West Coast legend, famously known for having his personal “joint roller.”
Who is this legend we’re talking about?
Answer in next week’s Trivia, although we made this one easy for you.
