• 1) When did you first develop a passion for music and your favorite instrument?

  My passion for music started at a very young age in the church choir. so that I started my violin studies. And I was always fascinated by the human voice and its ability to express deep emotions. Over time I realized that the voice is the most powerful and personal instrument. As an opera tenor, my favorite instrument will always be the human voice first.

• 2) Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?

  Mainly Opera. As a singer, listening to great voices is not just entertainment for me, it's a way of studying. When I listen repeatedly, I start noticing details in breath management, phrasing, and the way the voice carries emotion through the music. That’s why I often return to singers like Luciano Pavarotti or Alfredo Kraus. Every time I listen, I discover something new, and that’s what makes great music truly timeless.

• 3) Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.

  One of the most fascinating courses I teach is vocal technique for singers. Many people believe singing is just talent, but in reality it’s a science and an art at the same time. I help students understand breath support, resonance, and how to sing freely without tension. When a student finally discovers their natural voice, it’s always a magical moment.

• 4) What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?

  The human voice is probably the most complex instrument. You can’t see it or touch it, and everything happens inside the body. That’s why singers must develop a very refined awareness of breath, posture, and resonance. Mastering that coordination can take many years.

• 5) What are your keys to success?

  Consistency, patience, and listening. Great singers are always students. Regular practice, curiosity, and learning from the greatest artists are essential to continuous growth.

• 6) Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.

  I would love to sit with Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, and Luciano Pavarotti. Verdi, because he understood the human voice and drama in a way that still defines opera today.Puccini, for his extraordinary gift for melody and emotional storytelling. And Pavarotti, because he represents the perfect balance between great technique, beauty of tone.

• 7) Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.

  One day during my studies, a teacher stopped me while I was singing and said: “Don’t try to impress with the voice—tell the story.” That sentence stayed with me forever. From that moment I understood that real singing is about communication, not just sound.

• 8) What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?

  I always try to adapt my teaching to each student’s voice and personality. Every singer is different. My goal is to build solid vocal technique while helping students develop confidence, musicality, and their own artistic identity whether it is Classical, Crossover, Oriental ...etc.
