Marco Pantani's flights led me to get on a bike. I define the sportsman as an artist. Roger Federer is to Tennis what Jimmy Hendrix is to rock. For eight years, I practiced cycling seriously and with the ambition of reaching the top. By chance, I got injured. This was an important turning point in my life, during my convalescence I discovered music and theater. Going on stage or behind a microphone gives me sensations that are both different and identical to those of sport.

Training, competing whether in athletics or cycling has shaped my character. These are physically and mentally tough sports, it rubs, elbows and sometimes you fall. It is in adversity that I express myself best. A born competitor, I like to go to the end of myself and never give up. To clear my head, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Tame Impala or the Red Hot accompany me. Psychedelic sounds inspire me, as does Into the Wild, which is the cinematographic masterpiece of the 2000s, with a captivating story and a sublime soundtrack by Eddy Vedder.
