After a busy day, I pick up my guitar. Soul, jazz, funk, doesn’t matter: as long as there is rhythm. I write songs myself and give existing songs my own twist. Like solving complex planning problems, making a song requires creativity. Music connects people with each other; I think that’s the beauty of it. When I’m abroad and I pull out my guitar to sing a song, I have instant contact. Playing together and having fun is what I enjoy.
