I think about all these influences and musical cultures, then the opinion of the audience is of course important, but when I'm working on an album or a new project, I'm not all the time thinking about what the audience will think about it.

For me, each time I'm on stage, each time I'm working on a new album, it's like a dream. I can't believe it's happening.

My influences are jazz, blues, European classical music; they are rock music and pop music. So many kinds of music. World music from different countries like India and China. I think that would be a shame not to take advantage and do something... not unique, because I don't have this pretension.

The audiences are really different in general. Even in the same country or in the same city, from one venue to another, the audiences can be totally different.

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.

I prefer simple things - monotone melodies repeating the same things all the time. Because I think life is like that.

Of course I am stressed after I finish working on an album about what an audience will think, if it will be successful or not.
