Is an scape, a way to express emotions and to deliver a message to the audience.

What is your music dream?

To tour with my band all over the world and spread our music to as many people as we can.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

I will start with the children, they are the new generations that will come, and I think children need education, culture, science and sports. Also I think we need to make conscience and awareness of the problems that happen in the world everyday. Because I think that those people will bring the change in the future if we plant a seed early on, if we fail as a generation at least we can make sure that the next generation will make things right.
