3 BIGGEST GOLDEN NUGGETS

(1) People who are brought up in - e.g. war times - value stability. The generation that has never experienced this, don’t understand what it feels like, so they value different things. It is important to listen to your family. There is profound wisdom and truth there. But at the same time: don’t give up on your new ambitions.

(2) You can not avoid your identity and roots. Integrate both cultural worlds: where you are from and where you are now.

(3) Music is not about perfection. It is about how you can connect people.
