I get a lot of emails where people are writing me their experiences, how they discovered my music, what they feel... they motivate me to carry on with what I am doing.

I always felt strongly connected to the region where I was born. But after leaving school, the only clear thought I had about my life was to leave this provincial area and go to places where real life was happening.

I was bored to death and thinking more about the minibar and the after-show party than the performance.

I am a big fan of the Coen Brothers; I like their kind of absurd, dark approach.

I like the influence of pictures on music and the other way around.

I am inspired by the films of Pedro Almodóvar, as they are funny, sad, and extremely weird.

Memories were in my mind during nearly all the concerts I've done, and I realized the deep connection to my childhood, when I went out in the morning and the only thing my mom said was, "Come back before dark." What trust and what freedom!
