Everybody improvises without noticing it. Life is about improvising. You can't control what happens in your life, I mean, you don't know what can happen in your life today. So you somehow improvise.

Everything is inspiring! It could be fine art or a conversation I have with somebody!

I have always liked black and white! It is simple and the colour of the piano.

My music is very emotional. The reason why I want to play music is very emotional. I want to call out my emotions and package them into music.
