In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was 4 or 5 years old I went to an old uncle house and there I discovered he got a wonderful grand piano which captured all my senses and began playing it randomly enjoying the moment so much. One of the best days of my life.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Jon Hopkins, Immunity Nils Frahm, Screws Ólafur Arnalds, Living Room Songs These album made such an impression to me to decide starting to release my own music. I was fascinated buy the lo-fi sound of Screws and by the intimacy of Living Room Songs, but one of my all time favorite is Abandon Window from Immunity.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Floating” Written to celebrate Piano Day 2022 and inspired by the tragic events in Ukraine, floating between a touch of melancholy and enlightening hopefulness, attempting to bring comfort and assurance for a brighter and better future.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? My first public piano performance when I was 8, playing Debussy “The Little Negro”. Then, at 16, my first performance of Rachmaninoff 2nd piano sonata, and my first performance with orchestra and soloist playing Mozart Piano Concerto KV414.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I'd like to write the soundtrack for a film or TV series.
