The moment when you knew you wanted to be a musician:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started to learn piano at 5 years old, and it became part of my life. I never thought I would do anything else other than music.<\/p>\n

An important skill for a career in music that does not have anything to do with an instrument or making music:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have an open heart to listen<\/p>\n

Two ways you stay motivated:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pure joy of creating something new and curiosity<\/p>\n

Latest Project:<\/strong><\/p>\n

My new children’s album Shape of Eyes<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
