"I grew up basically with my hands on the piano. I’ve been playing the piano since I was four years old. Music is my core, part of my soul. I've always felt drawn to different elements in different types of music: the hypnotic patterns in Bach's Preludes, the impressionistic soundscapes of Debussy, the frequencies in Beethoven’s work, the classy atmosphere of old-school lounge piano music, heart-warming melodies and rich orchestral arrangements in romantic musicals, majestic opera arias by Italian masters etc. When I saw Jane Campion's film "The Piano" with music composed by Michael Nyman, it profoundly changed the way I play and has been the biggest inspiration for my work. I played that soundtrack piano book night and day, awake and in my dreams. That really opened the door for me to the world of contemporary music.
I compose the music that is supposed to be brought to life through me, I like working in a totally intuitive state. My biggest inspiration is life in general - the powerful life force that fuels everything that exists; art, beauty and abundance in everything. I'm infinitely fascinated by creative process and feel very grateful for the honor to do this work.”
