He has already had the chance to do a few small concerts near his home. “My artistic universe is very provocative. When I’m on stage, it’s very vibrant. The loves of my life are Elton John, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury. They make me the artist I am today, who dares to put their personality forward. My look is very glittery, feathery, colorful and very vintage. I want to dress like that, because I feel different. I don’t want to condition myself to anything. which I don’t like”he declares at first.
