I had a record deal with Sony in the beginning of the 90s, and I was rapping and singing in my band.

I like to express true emotions under the cover of melancholy: It includes fulfilment and pain, which describes human existence.

When I read a script, I am already in the movie with my music, and I can dive into a world that I haven't seen before.
