What does it mean to you to make music/to sing?
Music is the universal language that has the ability to reach people´s souls and make them feel emotions.
I believe it's important to connect with others through music and storytelling. My hope is to inspire others and to make them feel joy through the music.
Where would you like to travel to?
I would like to travel to more countries in Europe, e.g. Italy, Austria, Germany, and many other countries to better understand the history of the great composers and the context they wrote it in. I would also love to do another trip to Hawaii and to Mexico.
Pizza or Pasta?
After living in New York for 3 years, I learnt to appreaciate the convenience of grabbing a slice of pizza on every street corner.
Although I enjoy a slice of pizza every now and then on the go, I prefer to have time to sit down at a restaurant and enjoy a beautiful pasta dish. I also love how much flavor and expression can go into pasta sauces.
