How did you find your voice?
"When I was learning it was more about how to sing, and when I listen to old recordings I can hear that I focus on how to phrase or how to hit a high note. Today I think less about how I sing, and more on what I sing about. I want music to have this nerve, the nerve that really breaks your heart. With today’s technology you have every possibility to make the music sound exactly the way you want it, but you have to be careful not to strip the music of its soul. When it comes to my own music I want to keep that organic nerve." -Radar Magazine.
