Nine, a suburban Berliner, is the hidden heart of BLY and has known the city longer than most of us. She loves the rapid and multicultural development of the city, and exploring the more unknown Kieze, looking for new restaurants and crazy things to do, and following the Berlin Startup Scene. Her first Berlin moment was walking along Kurfürstendamm shortly after the wall fell, looking at the famous "Schaukästen".

Philip came to Berlin in January 2007. By May he'd started feeling that Berlin loved him. That's when he started BERLIN LOVES YOU to spread the Berlin love. Together with many friends, supporters, creatives, entrepreneurs and Berlin lovers, BERLIN LOVES YOU evolved into what it is today. Philip's first Berlin moment was at Rosenthaler Platz, back in the days when there was a Döner place playing Johnny Cash 24/7. To him, Rosenthaler Platz is the most vibrant place in Berlin uniting all Berlin has to offer! pe@staging-berlinlovesyou.kinsta.cloud

Music is the heartbeat of any creative place, pulsing the blood of its people. With a BA in English from Motown Detroit’s Wayne State University, John’s first love is music, but also writes about observations and connections between the two cities. First Berlin Loves You moment was at sunrise one summer morning, right off the bus from Tegel, seeing Berlin blanketed in golden light. Followed directly by techno beats echoing in the distance at Warschauer Strasse, as people from the night before staggered around in search for the next stop.
