“Music for me is probably the best opportunity to express feelings, desires and opinions.
Better than words.
No matter the musical instrument, although best describes me guitar and vocal.
No matter the genre. I am influenced by every type of music that can express something deeper.
In addition to traditional techniques, I also deal with non-traditional techniques.
I like to experiment, and so I gradually developed my own way of playing techniques typical for me and my playing.
I am interested in quality of life and philosophy of man and of his being. Not so in general terms, but rather it specifically for me.
Therefore, I do these things all my life. This needs to be reflected in my way of playing.”
