The teacher answers five FASOUL questions about their path, inspiration and view of music.
01How and when did you realise that music was your path?
My grandmother bought a piano before I was born and prophesied that I would grow up playing it. Perhaps my musical journey began then... At age 6, my parents enrolled me in a music school where I studied until age 11. Dissatisfied with the outdated music teaching methods, I stopped playing music until a guitar fell into my hands at age 14. Then I rediscovered the joy of playing piano. I realized that the key to improvement is sincere love for music and curiosity.
02Did the people close to you support your choice?
My parents are musicians; music is a big part of their lives, so they strongly supported my dreams and encouraged me to pursue them. I am forever grateful to them for that.
03Which musical genres do you prefer?
Pop, rock, alternative, jazz rock, jazz, hip hop, rap.
04How do you imagine your future in music?
I aim to become a successful sound producer, songwriter, and composer. I want to write Lithuanian musical plays. At the same time, I want to learn to sing and master other instruments.
05What would you tell someone who is still unsure about trying music?
The most important thing is to get rid of the fear of making mistakes and train with discipline. Then the goal will be achieved sooner or later. It is also important to keep in mind that learning music benefits the brain, body, and soul.
