It was an atmosphere all over the world: new bands, The Beatles, hippie festivals, Woodstock... The air of freedom, movement around the world. The desire to do something, to declare myself. Then we had the will of the soul and heart, the desire to simply engage in creativity.
In 1975 he decided to sing professionally.
