CURIOSITIES, WORDS AND THOUGHTS:
I like to keep my private life as much separate as possible from my job as musician. I like to have a normal everyday life as everyone else. It's a relief when I train in my gym or go in places where most of the people have no clue about who I am. In this way I keep myself grounded and when I am back in the business I feel much more powerful and motivated.

Also,let me allow to say that we should realize how lucky and rich we are compared to people or countries living close to us. Our abundance it’s a gift and should be used to help who is in need without expecting something back.
