\nmake your life easier, or is it a difficulty, a conviction to music?<\/em><\/p>\n
\nschool and so on. And I hope that this makes me recognisable to the Romani people. So that’sdefinitely an advantage.<\/p>\n
\nI will definitely continue my Dad’s work, because inside myself I feel that this is my only path in life. If it wasn’t for Dad, if it wasn’t for his decisions when I was young to enrol me in music school… Fact, sometimes I didn’t want to practise. Sometimes I didn’t want to play the accordion, sing or whatever. And then my dad forced me quite often, especially in primary
\nschool. And today I’m very grateful to him for that, despite everything. Definitely in this context it is also a convenience. I am very thankful to my dad for pushing me in all this. Hopefully going forward.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s a controversial issue between me and my dad at the moment… I think that because of my young age hip hop, R&B and soul appeal to me the most. If in fact one day I could break through to a bigger audience, hopefully into the mainstream, then I would prefer to get into more soul or R&B. I enjoy singing more than rapping.<\/p>\n
\nWell it would be silly if I didn’t answer: the accordion. I’ve spent my whole life playing it really. Definitely the accordion. If I had to choose, let’s say in the evening for pleasure, what I would play on, I would probably choose the piano today. Right now, I’m in the mood to sit down and enjoy it rather than play. On the accordion, however, it’s an effort to carry it around and so on, so the piano for pleasure. And the accordion for life.<\/p>\n
\nDefinitely R&B and soul. To put it another way, I love all music in general, leaving out one genre. Don’t want to say out loud, but everyone knows what I mean. I listen to everything. Recently I’ve even started to listen to the classics. When I go for a walk it’s mostly Chopin on my headphones, so I really like everything. But most of all R&B and soul.<\/p>\n
\nYes, I compose on my own. I compose music in general, meaning backing tracks for myself. I write the lyrics. On the accordion I also tried to create, but I didn’t feel it. I didn’t feel it in such a way that I could do it on a daily basis. It didn’t quite get to me somewhere.<\/p>\n
\nI’m currently making some extra money as a model. I don’t pursue it on any high scale. Although I have been thinking about going into it completely, I found that I didn’t quite fit in with this environment, this community. I might do it more in terms of making a profit, maybe as a hobby.<\/p>\n
\nThe biggest achievement for me… This is quite a deep question. Everyone measures success by their own measure. I for one am proud of knowing what I want to do in life. I can be proud, because many people don’t really know the reason why they are on this Earth. And when it comes to specific achievements, certainly this \u2018Mister\u2019 title and the scholarship from
\nthe Minister of the Internal Affairs, which I received several times at the competitions in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a. Those are the main things.<\/p>\n
\nWho would I like to play a concert with? Oh gosh. It depends on the style. If I were to rap it would definitely be Malik Montana. If I were to perform in a singing style it would be Roy Woods. I think Roy Woods the most, because I listen to his albums a lot now. And instrumentally it’s with my father, which is not today yet, but in a while, I guess you could say. We haven’t had a concert together for a long time.<\/p>\n
\nFuture plans include music, of course. Only and exclusively. And the dreams for the future\u2026
\nI’ve always dreamt of having a big happy family. All in all, those are kind of my two goals in life: music and family. Nothing more concrete really matters. I’ve never dreamt of making money, yachts, villas and so on. In short, I dream of a wooden cottage in the mountains with my family and a peaceful old age.<\/p>\n
\nI don’t know. As long as it’s warm.<\/p>\n
