It all started with mother singing my sisters and I to sleep, on full
moon nights the household just wasn´t the same, a certain wildness would
transpire all of us and things would stay that way until the dawn
cracked us clean again…The dance classes at an early age determined the path I was to take
later on. I was fascinated with the relationship between movements and
sounds and I always felt that they communicated through a language I
could understand.Tom Waits got to me at the age of 8 and I´ve been a constant listener
ever since.People are my inspiration. They are a never ending source of emotions, feelings, reactions, disturbances and surprises. If you sit long enough you will always catch a moment, just like a photographer who´scaught a story, a thought in a snapshot. *I´m killdeering away… just like 'out in the shed' or 'out of his mind'
when he´s had a few too many in the beautiful book 'The man who fell in
love with the moon' by Tom Spanbauer. I think we all belong to that
detached parallel world where anything can happen.

Influences: silence, Mr Jones who lives on the 4 ^th floor at n45, the
lady from the bakery store, tall Juliet from Louisiana and everybody on
the A list at 'Will Pass' driving School.

I describe moments I think I´d like to share, feelings portrayed so
clearly when it´s obvious we try to hide them. There´s something about
being shy, moments of pure delight, things we really shouldn´t talk
about, a situation of despair…There´s always something in people we miss, we just don´t see or look
for it. I don't know it´s probably something we don´t want to recognise.

I´ve always admired people who can write and I have a fascination with
words and lyrics, the way they are such obvious simple things and yet
they become alive with complexity and full with feelings depending on
the way you place them or order them and with which tone you pronounce
or accentuate them. Words are alive as much as we are and they allow us
to share and communicate our feelings in our own personal way which

makes it so exciting and huge a world to explore.
