Growing up in both the Netherlands and in Asia, KD Rossly’s life has always been a kaleidoscope of culture and art. She’s a former TV show host, singer, actress, model, and radio DJ. Over the recent years, she started her writing career and has written articles for both Asian and U.S. publications.
