1. When and how did you realize that your whole life would be linked to music?

I’ve always loved creating music, but as a child, I hated practicing. I would often go from one piano lesson to the next without touching the keys in between, and eventually, I quit piano around the age of 12. My focus shifted to football, which I took quite seriously throughout my teenage years.

It wasn’t until university that I found my way back to music. I wasn’t studying music at the time, but I started exploring neoclassical pieces by artists like Yiruma and Ludovico Einaudi.

I also enjoyed experimenting with house and techno music for fun. Composing became a creative outlet for me, and soon, I was writing my own piano pieces inspired by the neoclassical style.

Over time, music grew from a hobby into a passion — and now it’s the central focus of my life. Creating music feels natural to me, and I’ve never looked back since rediscovering my love for the piano.

2. Which composer has most influenced your musical imagination?

Ludovico Einaudi has had the biggest influence on my musical imagination. His ability to convey deep emotion through simplicity really resonates with me. He creates space for listeners to reflect and connect with the music on a personal level, which is something I strive to achieve in my own compositions. His work showed me that music doesn’t need to be overly complex to be powerful — it just needs to be honest and heartfelt.

3. What is your main creative motto?

“Music is emotion in motion — a conversation between the heart and the keys.”

4. What would you like to express during your performance at the festival? What will your program consist of, and why this choice?

During my performance, I want to create a mindful space — a moment for people to relax, reflect, and simply listen. In a world that moves so fast, music has the power to slow things down, offering a chance to reconnect with ourselves and be present in the moment.

My program will consist of original compositions, inspired by nature, stillness, and the ebb and flow of emotions. I aim to evoke a sense of calm and introspection, inviting the audience to step away from the noise of everyday life and find peace within the music.

5. What goals do you set for yourself, and what projects do you have on the horizon?

I’m currently working on a mindfulness album, where I aim to collaborate with key contributors in the mindfulness and wellness space. The album will feature my piano compositions paired with guided meditations, creating a holistic experience that combines music and mindfulness.

This project reflects my broader goal of using music as a tool to promote well-being and presence. I want to continue exploring the intersection of music and mental health, creating meaningful collaborations that help people find moments of peace in their daily lives.

6. How do you see the future of piano music?

I see the future of piano music becoming more fluid, blending genres and reaching beyond traditional concert halls. With streaming platforms and digital media, piano music is becoming more accessible and more personal — a part of people’s everyday lives, whether they’re working, meditating, or relaxing.

There’s also a growing focus on music as a tool for mindfulness and mental well-being, which I believe will play a big role in the future. Piano music has a unique ability to create calm, reflective spaces in a fastpaced world. I see the future as more about connection – not just virtuosity, but creating music that resonates deeply and provides comfort in uncertain times.

7. What does Paris represent for you? Do you have a special relationship with this city, and why did you accept the invitation to participate in the festival?

Paris holds a special place in my heart. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit many times, and each time, I’m reminded of the city’s unique blend of culture, history, and creativity. There’s an undeniable energy in the streets, a sense of inspiration that fuels the arts and invites personal reflection.

I’m currently learning French on Duolingo, and it’s a dream of mine to live in Paris someday. The city represents not only a connection to the artistic past but also a place where I can continue to grow and share my music with a new audience.

Being invited to perform at this festival feels like the perfect opportunity to connect with an audience that appreciates music’s emotional depth. Paris is a city that celebrates both tradition and innovation, and I believe my performance will align with this spirit, offering a moment of mindfulness and reflection. It’s an honor to be part of this artistic journey in such an iconic city.
