I was attracted by jazz music because it is probably one of the most experimental, soulful and free minded ways of expression. As a jazz musician I am constantly sitting between 2 chairs, on one hand keeping the "tradition" alive and in the other, the fact that we are living in the 21st century. The music must evolve with its time (any form of art is about reflecting and capturing the mood, the pulse of the society it has been created within). In my music I am trying to reflect the essence of the life I am living , it could be very different from one moment to another.
