"I was born in a family of musicians, therefore I don't remember when I was introduced to music, nor when I became interested in music. From a very early age I was tought to play the piano, and I had fun playing simple songs as a kid, I loved listening to my grandfather, father and uncle play and desperately wanted to become as good as them. My mom decided to give my brothers and I formal music education, and we were forced to attend a music conservatory."
"At Age 12 I discovered the electric guitar, it hadn't been long since Guns n Roses had released their Use your Illusion albums, and Metallica its Black album, and I became obsessed with the guitar and Heavy Metal, I quit playing piano and put all my efforts into learning the guitar."
