Minimalista, elegante y atrevido

Minimalist, elegant and bold.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?

El concierto de mori, fue una locura la verdad.

The mori concert, it was crazy, really.

If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history (and why)?

Serían Novo amor y Pink floyd porque igual podría coincidir con ellos y hablar sobre sus experiencias personales.

It would be Novo amor and Pink Floyd because I could still meet them and talk about their personal experiences.

¿Cuáles subculturas / tribus urbanas te han influenciado en tu estilo (moda y música)? ¿Porqué? / Which subcultures have influenced you (and why)?

Sería la cultura hardcore ya que tienen un royo moderno juntandolo con el estilo del metal que es más oscuro, y luego la cultura skater ya que es más elegante y siempre van al día con la cultura urbana.

It would be the hardcore culture as they have a modern vibe with the metal style which is darker, and then the skater culture as it's more elegant and always up to date with urban culture.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history (and why)?

Sería con Ramana Maharshi, porque ha sio de los iluminados más importantes en la tierra.

It would be with Ramana Maharshi, because he has been one of the most important enlightened ones on earth.

¿De todas las salas dónde has estado actuando / tocando / pinchando cuál es tu favorita? ¿Porqué? / Of all the independent venues you’ve played, which is your favourite (and why)?

Fue en la Sala La Riviera, me acuerdo una vez que me dije a mi mismo que iba a tocar en esa sala y asi fue

It was in the Sala La Riviera, I remember once I said to myself that I was going to play in that venue and I did. It was incredible.

¿Cuál sería tu héroe en la música? ¿Por qué? / Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music (and why)?

Igual Freddie Mercury, porque escribia sus letras con el alma y se siente.
