Break on Through (to the other side)The Doors

The next VAYAs chapter is about Freedom. The reason? I just feel the Spirit of the Eagle caressing my soul.

November in Toronto. It is a very alternative and industrial place, kind of unique. Normally the 2nd of November for BRUTAL project. We will have our collaborator video maker from Japan with:)

The old days of music were better than the current, do you agree?

OF COURSE! Do you really feel any kind of soul and vibration today when you listen to the radio? It is all the same……

Variations youd like to do on any of your songs?

I am entering in a new chapter of my music. Learning from the beginning E.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g ..( sounds crazy when you started at 3 years old) . But with my new guitar teacher I will embrace a new experimental path with vocals and guitar. So I cant even really answer to that question today. We will see: again , Go with the flow and welcome new things on the table.

A huge piece of LOVE
