Profile
VenRod joined the Klitty Crew's circle in 2018 as its interview editor, always working together with DeeNice: she decides whom they would like to talk to one day, he does the reading, the looking and the questions. Since then the two have studied ten artists and held three tribute evenings in Paris, Zurich, New York, Barcelona and Berlin, filling notebooks with 'questions for later'. True to their rule 'Study first, ask later', not a single interview has been requested yet – until 2026, when he began writing the first real interview requests for CatWorldNews.
