Why did you become a musician?
I have always had a dream of becoming a musician, ever since I started playing at the age of 9.

Up through high school I was most intent on studying law, but after a conversation with one of the teachers at the music high school where I went, I luckily changed my mind. He had studied law for two years and thought it was absolutely not for me!

What is your greatest experience as a musician?
It was a jazz night in Spain where I finally dared to stand up in front of a big band and improvise in front of a large, enthusiastic audience. It was cool!

Outside the concert hall:
Likes to travel, exercise and have fun with family and friends.
