In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I first heard "Deep Purple in Rock" album, I was blown away. Mostly, I was impressed by the heavy guitar riffs of Ritchie Blackmore and the high-pitched falsetto of Ian Gillan. And of course, the music itself was just unbelievable. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Deep Purple, Deep Purple In Rock Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Brain Salad Surgery 2014 Remaster King Crimson, Discipline (Expanded Edition) They were most influential for me as a musician.

Tell us why you chose this song. “Recluse” "Recluse" was the first song on which I used my throat singing. It was the new beginning for my music career in Los Angeles in the beginning of 2000s. It also set me apart from other artists and bands, and put me in the spotlight. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The first moment was when I came to Hollywood, CA in 1998, and release my first US EP "5 Song Debut". The second moment was when I received a rave review from Music Connection Magazine. And the third one was when my music was played on 95.5 KLOS. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? My music is not in the mainstream, so I have no illusions about a big stardom. However, I have devoted fans around the world, and I'm going to do more albums, and shoot a few feature films To create is a bliss in itself for me.
