“Ever since I was a kid I've always been singing a lot, Every time I bought a new CD, we sang like crazy with my brother. I used to perform in our school often and my teacher encouraged me to continue singing. ”
“I was around 15 years old when I started to play around with all kinds of music making softwares. My passion was always in electronic music as I was listening to a lot of trance and stuff. Then a couple of years later I started practising guitar after being inspired by Metallica with their riffs. Same time I founded my first band and we played covers from Metallica and some other bands. I had many band projects up until in 2012 I decided to go solo. That felt the most right to me and I've been doing it ever since. ”
