NY Glam: What is your music background? Do you write your own songs?
I started playing music as a child playing the guitar and then composing with the piano at the age of fourteen.
NY Glam: How important is image?
In my opinion, the turning point of an artist is the perspective and philosophy behind his works. In my opinion, it is very important from what point of view you use the art instrument. Without human motivation in the background, your works will disappear in the long run
NY Glam: What image do you think your music conveys?
It is very important for me that my works have a message for the audience, although sometimes I perform different forms of music, but the anchor point of those works, whether philosophical, social or romantic, is a humane perspective. Creating a kind of aesthetic sense to convey a message of harmony to my audience.

As for style, I have never limited myself to a particular style. I have sung in different styles and in different languages, and it is always more important for me to adhere to my philosophy of work than form.

Several different projects
From movie music to several EPs with different themes

NY Glam: How do you define success?
Success for me is not just about achieving our individual goals.

NY Glam: Any plans for upcoming tours/performances?
I am currently more focused on composing and releasing my new songs due to the Corona epidemic.
But I think with the improvement of the situation, we will start the concerts in the next six months. I hope that next year we will start the concert tour in different countries of the world.
NY Glam: What are your long-term career goals?
