A New Wind from Rio
"All I want is to have my own voice, find that perfect melody or progression and most of all, have the most beautiful tone. For me, music is not a way of displaying my motor skills, neither to show off how many years I spent studying. When I play or compose, I try to make a statement and each note must have a meaning... I can be very emotional, but I am quite introspective as well, so my music reflects that side and you will not find over-the-top sentimentalism either."
