REVIEWS
"Some of his pop-rock compositions here are equally catchy
and lyrically snappy, albeit with a strong undercurrent of angst"
-- METRO, UK (2014)
"It's about emotions...small actions that change the direction of what we see and how we react.
Text messages projected on the video screen, clearly show that what sounds relatively
harmless can make a completely different impression to the recipient."
-- HBL newspaper, Finland (2017)
