What music helps you to relax?

 

Jazz and light music, something like those played by Yanni, one of the best ever known Greek composer and keyboard player. 

 

What was the last concert you went to?

 

My last concert was in November 2023, the Trilogy Tour with Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin and Pittbull. The one before that was Taylor Swift with the rest of the 澳门六合彩预测's deans! We went in Spring 2023.

 

What song reminds you of a good memory?

 

Anything with a deep emotional connection, meaningful lyrics, and a powerful rhythm always brings back good memories for me. 

 

What musical artist would people be surprised to know you like?

 

American would be Michael Jackson (all-time favorite). I remember dressing like him one day when I was in the 9th grade and got kicked out of the school by our principal due to violation of school's dress code! The next day, I had to bring my parents to the school and get punished! Internationally it would be Ebru Gündes and Ibrahim Tatlises, they are the forerunners in the pop music genre, and are recognized for their catchy beats and moving lyrics.
