I was always interested in finding the elegance of each style and understanding why it influences so many people.

My music is also one part of my inner process, and people also seem to connect with me on that - especially the ones who have the same questions for their own lives.

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 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.

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!

Even films without music are inspiring, as I think a good story is full of changes, different paces, and ideas.

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