artists good great happened john lennon moments nina song songs
When your hair is rising, that's when you know it's a good song - that's happened to me with some artists and some songs, John Lennon songs or when Nina Simone sings. It's great to make those moments yourself.
song new-experiences korea
I love entertaining Korean people with traditional songs from Ecuador . It has been an exceptional, new experience for me to perform in Korea and I enjoyed so much.
album touring
The album has just been re-released in the US so I'll be touring for sometime.

I love you, Mommy, you're going to be okay. I'll be waiting for you here, okay?

I guess I am actually quite shy, and I've always felt very self-conscious during interviews.

I listened to all the Misfits albums growing up and Red Hot Chili Peppers, too.
break certainly desk folks hiring itself lends office understand willing
It lends itself (to hiring illegals) certainly more than at an office desk somewhere. The contractors understand and know it and are willing to take the risks. Not because these folks want to break the law, but because they have no alternatives.

It was a big surprise when I started to get attention in Sweden, going from biochemistry studies to touring and living from music only. There were a couple of years while I went to university when I was OK with thinking of music as just a nice recreation.

We just played an ugly game. Nothing went right. Even though we won, the way we played our game wasn't to our standards. It was just ugly.

We controlled most of the game. It took us a while to settle down. But once we did, we were all right. Now we have the toughest part of our schedule coming up.
chords element main minor released since
Ever since I released my first album, I've tried not to use minor chords as the main element in songs. The way I sing is too melancholic.
playing strings
I started playing the guitar when I was 14. I'm not superstitious about guitars, but I do need strings to be old because that's part of my sound, and I don't like steel strings.
growing home influences latin speak sweden
I speak Swedish, it's my first language. Of course, growing up with Latin American parents from Argentina, I also have some other influences from other cultures. But Sweden is where I feel the most at home.
