What inspired you to get into music?
Music was always important to me, in my childhood i was always busy listening to music and dancing until i couldn’t stop. Later in life i just wanted to share my message with the songs i wrote.
How would you describe your music?
I think it’s pop music with a bit of 80’s and 90’s vibe. I worked on my 2nd album with a new sound though from what i’ve released until now. Wish people could hear it ’cause i’ve been working on it in 2018 and 2019, but with the situation now in the world i can’t release any new music or perform anytime soon.
What would you say is your recording and song writing style?
The songs are recorded in a studio and i like it quiet so i can focus on the vocals. My songwriting, lyrics often pop up in mind along with a melody.
Where would you like to see your music career in 5 years time?
I don’t know, i hope that people can listen to my new songs from the 2nd upcoming album one day in a peaceful world. These songs and the entire concept of the album are very important to me along with the song ‘DNA Damage’.
