Diversity inspires student DJ
January 30, 2012
By day, Thomas Trinkl studies Tourism and Hospitality Management on Kahlenberg. By night he can be found, like many students, at nightlife hotspots around the city - but unlike the others he's not there to celebrate the end of exams or the start of a new semester. Each weekend, Thomas trades in his books and calculator for headphones and vinyl as he spins his own brand of electronic music for crowds of revellers.
Born and raised in Vienna, Thomas' passion for travel and interest in how the hospitality works behind-the-scenes led him to choose MU's BBA program. Eventually, he hopes to work in event or catering management - if he's not starring as the entertainment of course!
Thomas' musical journey has been as rewarding as any of his travels. After being introduced to the art of djing by a high school friend, Thomas has honed his creative talents in several genres, spanning from progressive house to techno to deep/uk house with a hint of disco. His new surroundings at MU have put him in a fertile environment for artistic creativity: "The diversity of students and different tastes at MU have had a big influence on me. Being open-minded is crucial at a school like MU and for progressing as a DJ - searching for new music and trying new things are the keys to success." Trinkl has also joined forces with other student DJs at MU, notably playing at the 2011 graduation party.
MU is proud to have well-rounded, creative students like Thomas as a part of our vibrant community and we wish him success in both his studies and musical endeavours!
