STORIES New Broom TIMEA KARLIK CLEANER-MUSIC PRODUCER I’m from Hungary. I came to London in 2011. I learnt English in Australia. When I was 15 years old my father went to Australia to work. He was on the other side of the world. One of his colleagues said, “Why don't you bring your family here?” So, we moved to Australia and I went to high school there. It wasn't easy starting school in another WORKING AS A CLEANER IS NOT EASY SOMETIMES. PEOPLE REFLECT THEIR ANGER TO US, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY NOT RELATED TO US. country as a teenager. Other students bullied me. After they changed the immigration laws, we left Australia in 2008. I was happy about the experience: life is about what you are learning and studying, isn't it? When I was 18 years old I was nervous that my family would have to look after me if I didn't work and become independent. I didn't want my parents worrying about me, so I wanted to move to London and study something. When I came here, I didn't know how expensive London was. I wanted to study graphic design, but it was very expensive. It was not possible to study while I worked to pay my bills. I could afford to do an electronic music production course for one year in West London. I learnt how to compose music and devices they make music with. When I save some money, I’d like to study sound engineering. I make music at home and do recordings for radio stations. I do music outside of work. It makes me happy. I have worked as a cleaner in Clissold Leisure Centre since 2013. I like working for them. They allow you to develop skills and move to other departments. I know some people used to be cleaners, now they are lifeguards or working in the gym, sales, on reception or as a manager. I am still going to do cleaning job; I will start to do a reception job as well. This might allow me to play my music somewhere at weekends. Working as a cleaner is not easy sometimes. People reflect their anger to us, but it is actually not related to us. In wintertime people are more rude to me. I am on a zero-hour contract. We are not paid for our holidays. Holiday pay is in the wage. If they have financial problems, they cut my hours because I am a casual worker. They might say we don't have enough jobs, we don't need you, we don't have shoes for you. If this happens to me I'll go back home. I can speak English, I love my music, maybe I can do something else. After Brexit people around me are not happy because they don't know what the future is going to bring. A lot of people I know have gone back to their countries since the Brexit vote and a lot of people are planning to go back. I don't know what to expect. It is uncertain. They are still making plans and don't know what to do with EU people. I miss my family. I have a boyfriend here. I met him on a dance floor: we had a drink and exchanged numbers. Now we have been together for three years, we love each other. I don't want to leave him because of Brexit. I do radio podcasts for online radios. I do different podcasts for different shows. I am hoping one day to play at clubs. I also would like to start my own record label. That’s why I have done the production course. I want to play at parties and make people dance and be happy with my music. I don't want to be a superstar or famous. I just want to do it for love of music. I believe that with music we can change the world. A lot of musicians believe that music brings peace to the world.
