Summary

My religion is music. since I was 8, I've been studying music and making it for a living. I was exposed to so many styles and various musical genres from our world, and by that to so many people. through music, I was fortunate to meet incredible people and to fall in love with so many cultures. I am positive that the values I've gained from being a professional musician for the past 10 years, alongside with my highly social skills and my obsessive urge to always learn and know more, will force me meeting the best people on this planet, and together, to make a positive and healthy change.
