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!

I like to express true emotions under the cover of melancholy: It includes fulfilment and pain, which describes human existence.

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

I am surprising myself [at] each show, and the delivered piano often surprises me. Sometimes the piano is so old that I don't have to prepare it, and sometimes I have a concert grand!

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.

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