DESCRIBE A ROUTINE YOU HAVE IN PLACE THAT HELPS YOU LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE.

I usually wake up very early in the morning and start my day with at least two, three hours of piano practice and then with at least half an hour of sports. This is sort of what helps me get the day going in a healthy way as much as possible.

WHAT ENERGIZES YOU IN LIFE TO KEEP GOING, TO KEEP CREATING?

It’s family, friends, especially the people around that give you motivation. And of course being creative and being active to me are two very important things.

WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION TO CREATE MUSIC?

Inspiration usually comes from one or two things. Meeting people, seeing different cultures, exploring the world an seeing what kind of experiences people have. And then the second thing, of course, the music itself. It’s quite inspiring.

Many times you just discover a piece that you either know or you haven’t played. And you come back after a long time and suddenly you rediscover the beauty of it. I also find inspiration with soccer. I’m a big soccer fan. So I find that inspiring to sometimes even create music.
