Conceptual
I started playing keyboard when I was six years old. I’ll never forget that moment when I stopped playing others’ compositions and started making my own music. It felt different. I felt powerful because I made something out of nothing. Music taught me how to be in tune with myself, how to trust myself and my feelings when I am about to create something. All I had to do was to close my eyes and listen to my impulses.
