The voice is an instrument that you really must take time to develop. It's like a good red wine Give it time.

The voice is certainly important and you can hear if it's beautiful or not, it's the gods who decide; it's more a question of what you do with the voice, which is the mysterious element.

Nothing but a beautiful voice, without nuance or color.

Actually, I feel music becoming more and more important. It's a big source of inspiration. With what's going on in the world, we feel almost desperate. Music also brings you peace.
