CREDO
Reason has never been my theme in my artistic endeavours, nor should it be in this respect, nor can it be in general.
The theme of my life is THE LOVE for people and what is expressed through them. For me, singing is the strongest, most direct, most profound and most revealing way to do this. Only those who love themselves and what they sing and penetrate it with love can touch.
THAT WAS AND IS MY ARTISTIC MISSION IN LIFE
