There's no no lines or anything.

It was like, you know, dance and music.

So my dad was always into music and He introduced me to Simon and Garfunkel.

He also used to play the War of the Worlds soundtrack and Peter and the Wolf.

And I remember sitting in our living room in our childhood home with these like great big kind of 80s headphones on and listening to that.

So that kind of, the importance of sound was with me from that moment on.

As I grew older, the music changed, of course, from those classical music, classic pieces of music, Tchaikovsky's music, you know, that kind of stuff that was all Peter and the Wolf, you know, that kind of thing, Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saëns.

These were really, really deep within me.

But I grew up, I learned to play the drums, I got into bands, I played music, and then the listening went to another level.
