Are you completely satisfied about your last work?
funny you should ask this. i am not completely satisfied with the last record. but i knew i had to go through with it. i learned a lot in the process and whatever reservations i have about it have been addressed in my latest work. and i know once i finish this current album i will find myself being unsatisfied anyway! so i continue on. such is life. there is no end destination for this. i just have to keep making music. hopefully i continue to learn and grow with each new body of work.

Wich are the most important ispiration for doing this new album?
musically, depeche mode is my main influence. martin gore is a brilliant songwriter and as a group depeche mode always pushes conventional thinking about pop music and production. alan wilder, formerly of the depeche mode and known for his amazing work as “recoil” is my other main influence. he’s one of the most innovative musicians/producers ever!as for the songs... well it’s all about love at some point isn’t it? i’m not into politics really so i just write about what is close to me. usually what is close is matters of the heart. i wish i had some greater calling than this, but alas this is really all i care about.

Is There some others artists that you think important to reccomend us?
yes! absolutely. there are many singer/songwriters i listen to such as david poe, duncan sheik, david mead, stephanie dosen...

Are there some others projects for the your future?
what i have decided after many years of doing too many things for other people; i am only going to work on my own music as an artist. so for the future i hope to make available one new album each year. sometimes this might not be a full album, maybe an EP. but i want to have new music out every year like many bands i listened to back in the day (the 80s!).

Is there something in your album that you don't like enough?
there is always something needing improvement. lyrics, my voice, production techniques. it is a never ending quest to the very end! maybe not so much for perfection. that is not always realistic or even good. but i think with everything in life, there is room for improvement.
