RIA: Music has always been my most efficient way to sort out my own thoughts and feelings. Sometimes I would be caught in a swirl of emotions and I wouldn’t even know how exactly to identify them and then I would start writing a song and it would all fall into place slowly. The same happens when I listen to music. A well-selected song can really bring out things that I didn’t even know were there. Apart from helping me understand myself better, music also connects me to other people on a totally different level than a normal conversation would. I’ve always had so many things I wanted to share with the world and writing music has opened up an opportunity to do it in a more graceful and beautiful way that really resonates with the hearts of other people. We might not know each other, but we would listen to the same song and we would interpret it in our own unique ways, and then some of those ways might coincide and we would immediately share a certain connection with each other. Those strangers, suddenly they get you, and they are not strangers anymore… I find it really beautiful!
