I travel, I have my ideas and the guys implement them, but obviously it’s down to earth. I’m at the beginning of my solo career, I’m not going to create a show that can only fit in a stadium when I play in front of 2 or 3 thousand people. I have this awareness, but I’m behaving as interestingly as possible in this scenario. It’s very beautiful, beautiful, creative, with a very clear essence, a lot of personality and very lyrically related, with everything that permeates this work, the whole message that I want to convey with my music and my lyrics“he declared.

And also thinking a lot about the audience and the pleasure of going to a show and playing the music I like to sing, always taking this into account. Happy audience, I’m happy on stage.
