It came naturally, that's what I always wanted to do (...) I don't wanna be famous or make money with music, it's just vital for me. It sounds crazy but when I don't have my piano, that I can't compose or sing, I 'm really depressed."

I knew that from the first album in 2008, that my style would be appreciated in Eastern and Northern Countries where singing in English is just a way to be understood by everyone,

I had the chance to be on the radio on those welcoming countries and it's still a wonderful memory."
