If you have nothing to say to the world, don’t step on stage.

But I do have things to say—so many. At times, finding the right words is not easy, yet the challenge is to keep striving to express them with clarity and truth. When I perform, I seek a living spontaneity—an invisible thread that ties me to every listener. Along this path, music becomes more than sound: it becomes the vessel of stories and poems, of memories and longings, of sorrow and reflection, of laughter and lightness, of joy in all its shades.

For music is not only an art.
Music is the very experience of life.
