“I’ve been doing it since I was a kid, started with classical music and went to the conservatory at the age of seven. I never really stopped, but when I was young I had a lot of nose for studying and less time. That’s why I started releasing music so late. I was part From a jazz association in 1998, where I met the members of Leika. Then the transition to self-producing wasn’t easy! However, I think taking that time has also allowed me to release something more mature and better release myself.”
