Original: (it) [Come nascono le tue song?] Le mie song nascono dal nulla, spontanee, niente di studiato a tavolino, di solito è di notte che l'ispirazione mi porta delle buone idee... magari sono in qualsiasi punto del mio studio e canticchio, canticchio e poi esclamo: "Mmm carino questo motivo...". Se la mattina seguente il motivetto mi rimane in mente allora vuol dire che ha delle potenzialità! Il passo successivo è quello di buttare degli accordi con la tastiera e registrare una demo con la mia voce, sulla quale poi lavorarci tranquillamente.
[How are your songs born?] My songs come out of nothing, spontaneous, nothing studied at the table, usually it is at night that inspiration brings me good ideas ... maybe they are anywhere in my studio and I hum, hum and then exclaim: "Mmm cute this reason ... ".
