"We know that music has the power to make us forget time passing. But, it is neither time nor music which passes, it is us. So, suddenly, it is years which tell us a little more about this time which passes. The year 2015 for me, will be just one more year, that is, a little more time which passes again, with a little more music, always brought to life by the desire and the dream that I have pursued for such a long time.

However, this year will not be entirely like the others, not because of the figures, but especially because I hope to share it with you… "
