Welcome to 10 tracks, my guest today is NELLY VAN GAALAN.

Nelly is a Dutch singer and songwriter best known for her work with the band Rejection Ratio — a band that became a lifeline, a family, and a voice for emotions that Nelly wasn’t allowed to express growing up. Born in Rotterdam and now working in the very hospital where she entered the world, Nelly has spent 24 years volunteering and helping people become stronger, even as she rebuilt that strength within herself.
