I Have A European Frame Of Mind

When I Get On Stage, My First Goal Is Not To Show My Expertise, But On The Contrary, To Give A Bit Of Happiness, Of Joy, Of Cheerfulness. I Am Firmly Convinced That In Order To Sing Well, You Must Love Your Neighbor And Be Passionate About Life.

I Like To Windsurf And Ski, And Most Of All I Love To Ride Horses. The Wilder And Faster The Better! If I'm Presented With A Fast Horse Or A Fast Boat, I Still Get That Shiver Of Excitement And I Cannot Resist. Luckily I Never Seem To Have Any Accidents, And Thank God For That.

I First Started Playing In Piano Bars For Three Reasons - To Make Money, To Be In The Company Of My Friends - And Also To Hook Up With Young Girls. I Always Knew, Even Before I Played In Piano Bars, About The Effect Of My Voice.

'passione' Is A Selection Of The Music Moments That Have Accompanied My Youth; A Collection Of Cherished Memories, Of Moments, Of Fleeting Emotions, Of Sleepless Nights.

I Like Reading... French, Russian Classics - Gogol, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Flaubert. I Also Like Hemingway, Virginia Woolf.
