''Art is not just about music for me; fashion and visual arts also play a significant role in my life. I believe that every art form is interconnected and supports one another. Fashion, aesthetics, and performance are crucial parts of my world. When developing my style and stage presence, I draw inspiration from these art forms. I think creativity requires a holistic approach, and this positively influences my music.

If I had the chance to work with any artist from all time, I would choose Leonard Cohen. His depth in songwriting, melancholy, and poetic quality has always captivated me. Creating a song with him would be a spiritual and emotional journey.

In my interactions with listeners, the most valuable feedback I receive is when my songs find meaningful places in their lives. Particularly when I touch on deep emotions, it makes me very happy to hear that my listeners feel and share these feelings with me. I will never forget when a listener told me that my songs gave them hope during a difficult time.

At the beginning of my music career, what impacted me the most was my education at the conservatory and my teachers there. However, the experiences that shaped me the most were my lived experiences. The stories I’ve collected and lived through increased the emotional depth in my music. This process completely changed my perspective on life and art, allowing me to create music in a more introspective and meaningful way.

Describing my music style, it has developed in an alternative and independent direction. The discipline from my classical music education combined with emotional depth has contributed to my originality. While creating my own style, I was influenced by many different genres, but eventually, I found my inner voice. Each song is like a birth and discovery for me. I have a constantly evolving style that can be melancholic at times and hopeful at others. This process has greatly developed me both artistically and personally.''
