I used to play guitar for myself and write lyrics and listen to different styles of music.

My father was not able to get all the vinyl he used to listen to with me. He couldn't travel as he did it because of his profession as a diplomatic career.

I can change the arrangements on stage while I am playing or singing, doing signs to the musicians to change things because the audience is dancing or singing with us. That's the interesting part of the live show, actually, because everything is possible and everything can change.

When you are able to make a living with your job as an artist, that means you have an audience and you have to thank this audience.

Everybody does music from his culture and his experiences with his culture. There are not so many people who are interested by the music coming from different countries and different cultures and trying to make music from that, from all these experiences.

You can be a star here in Europe and not be known at all in the United States.

You just have to try before thinking that you can't.
