What I discovered in Berlin was this immense freedom because it felt like you could start any kind of project and nobody would care... and that's what I sort of adopted to my own.

When I started working on my own music, I didn't have the chance to record in a big music studio, so I had to record everything myself.

I really believe it's not bad to look back within music. I don't mean retro, but using your own memories to make a song because our memories are what make us who we are.

The best thing about Berlin was that I got to be surrounded by people who pursue their ideas for themselves.

I used to get very nervous before a concert. It's okay when you are in a band. You can kind of disappear. But when it's just you... yes, that was difficult. I would not say it is easy now. But when you do it for a long time, you do learn to cope.

I got my own sound; nobody sounds like me.
