Who is Luna: Vogue named the most stylish singer of the Ukrainian musical revolution (video). New name: Ukrainian pop singer Luna Luna biography

Pianoboy, The Maneken, Ivan Dorn are proof of this. In addition, the production center "Lace", the founder of which is the husband of Christina Bardash - the same Moon - Yuri Bardash, has been actively supplying high-quality pop performers, musicians, photographers and producers for several years, many of whom we owe for the emergence of the phenomenon of the Ukrainian musical revolution .

One of these new pop performers was the singer Luna. The project has existed for two years, and in 2016, literally everyone started talking about Luna as a breakthrough in the Kiev musical underground - from the Russian Wonderzine to the Ukrainian glossy magazine, and now even American Vogue, which for the first time drew attention to Ukrainian music.

Journalist Liana Satenstein, specializing in the culture of the CIS countries and, in particular, Ukraine (she is the author of last year’s article about), writes that the music of the Moon “is a symbol of the changes taking place in Ukraine against the background of the political situation, war and an unstable economy.” Of course, it naturally suggests itself to compare Luna’s music with a similar trend in fashion - what people from the post-Soviet space and Gosha Rubchinsky are doing.

Luna herself characterizes her musical style as “soulful pop” - it feels nostalgia for the post-Soviet 90s and noughties, a romantic passion, as well as the current trend for “Gopnik fashion”, exported to the West by the same Gvasalia, Rubchinsky, and other designers.

Christina Bardash is perhaps the most unusual face to ever become a symbol of a musical revolution,

— Vogue writes about Luna. In less than a year, 25-year-old Christina, thanks to her vocals, music videos recorded literally on her knees in the spirit of “new sincerity” and personal style, won the attention of music and fashion critics and just people who understand modern music - and fashion, which is important.

- Luna says, while Liana calls her face "elfin". After Christina and her team uploaded the first video for the song “Autumn” on Facebook, people began to distribute the video themselves, and within six months all the tickets for the Kyiv concerts were sold out.

According to Luna, the 90s and early 2000s are her main source of inspiration. And this is no coincidence, since it was precisely this period of minimalism, the flourishing and entry into the “big world” of various subcultures, feminism with its “new femininity” by Phoebe Philo, the era of supermodels, the peak of popularity and - most of all, modern fashion is of interest.

For Ukraine, the 90s became, according to Luna, “a time of revolution in the minds of people and the awakening of Ukrainian youth.”

In the article, Satenstein describes in detail the image of Christina Bardash during the interview: she was wearing a pink Roberto Cavalli minidress with buttons, which “would be more suitable for the wife of a Slavic mafioso,” but on Christina it looked absolutely organic.

My style depends on my mood, and the same thing happens with my music,

- says Bardash. And, indeed, before Luna had the opportunity to buy clothes in the Kiev boutiques Helen Marlen and Asthik, she - according to her own words in previous interviews - dressed in a second-hand store on Lesnoy (which, by the way, the same Liana Satenshtein calls in ranking of the best places for shopping in Kiev), since she invested all the money she earned in her favorite business.

Luna owes the lion's share of her popularity not only to her style and vocals, but also to her decidedly amateur videos - many of them filmed on a phone. Luna espouses an image of “new sincerity” that opposes commercial music and popular culture, which are slowly killing real, living culture and art. Bardash shot the video for the track “Autumn” spontaneously with a small pocket camera when she took her son to kindergarten.

I love Kyiv. It's a beautiful city, although some people are ruining the culture. But now there is a new generation of young guys who are changing the situation - and I am one of them,

Bardash says in an interview with Vogue. The phenomenon of the singer Luna lies in the fact that her music is, of course, part of our unique, so to speak, cultural code with its residential areas, dull pop music and infantile nostalgia for the past, which Christina Bardash transforms into a high-quality modern product that is interesting to the West. Thanks to people like her, Ukraine is gaining a new face and in a few years will cease to be associated with a poor, war-torn country, which is often shown in the news and in which something is always wrong, thank God.

IN THE RUBRIC “NEW NAME” we talk about promising newcomers: musicians, directors, artists and other creative people - that is, everyone whose name is increasingly appearing on the pages of magazines, in social media feeds and in our conversations and who are clearly on the verge of great success. Today we will talk about the Ukrainian singer Luna, who records, as she herself calls it, “soulful pop.”

For several years now, the musical ball in Ukraine has been ruled by the Kruzheva production center, which owns the well-known project Quest Pistols. But not just shocking: “Lace” formed around itself a whole community of young and talented people: not only musicians, but also producers, photographers, directors and so on, together organizing a renaissance of local pop music.

One of them is Luna, or Christina Bardash (she could be seen in the videos of the same Quest Pistols). Formally, she acts independently, rather adopting experience from the producers of “Lace” rather than integrating into their system. Luna deliberately maintains the image of a DIY project, filming videos on her knees and posting her tracks on VKontakte. Christina records dreamy pop, inspired equally by modernity and her native 90s.

At Lace, Bardash initially worked as a photographer and director together with her husband, Yuri, who founded the center. So, a couple of years ago Luna appeared: Christina’s friends called her to the studio and offered to try singing over Angelika Varum’s track. Over time, she decided to switch from working on other people's projects to her own. Since then, Bardash has gone from timid test recordings to the release of a full-fledged album, but the feeling that she still sings with an eye to the pop music of her childhood remains.

The album “Magnets” sounds like a live recording of hits from the 90s, adjusted for the fact that it is now 2016. The singer herself calls her project “soulful pop,” says that she was greatly influenced by Linda and “Guests from the Future,” and believes that “The Cure would have recorded something like this in 1984, based on the creative and sometimes erotic romance between Robert Smith and Alla Diva Pugacheva."

Luna recorded her debut album little by little over two years. Although the singer does most of the things on her own, during this time she found like-minded people who helped her find her sound: Alexander Voloshchuk helped with production, and Igor Galart with mixing. “Magnets,” in accordance with the title, is an album about the mutual attraction of people: on the one hand, those who recorded it, on the other, its lyrical heroes. The singer herself says that this is a record about a difficult period in her life associated with problems in relationships and postpartum depression: “Magnets is an attempt to comprehend relationships between people through the metaphor of natural attraction.”

Luna does her best to support the image of new sincerity: for example, she spontaneously shot her video for the track “Autumn” on a small Japanese camera when her son did not want to go to kindergarten. Her slow, dreamy music also works on this principle: the lyrics deliberately operate with naive images of youthful love, which Christina sings simply and without frills. However, all this fits together so well that the result is exactly the kind of pop that is sorely lacking in the Russian language (and not only). You can listen to Luna’s songs not only on the VKontakte public page - a live presentation of the album “Magnets” will take place in Kyiv in a few days.

- You have so many publications in the Russian press. Is this management's job?

No one knocks on journalists’ doors and asks them to write about me. Esquire itself invited me to do the shoot. Interview magazine heard the album and wanted to do the material. I remember how I wrote to you when I shot the “Autumn” video. I doubted - maybe no one needs these songs at all? I worried all day. Then my video was posted and it all started. There were positive comments for me, people noticed exactly what was really important to me. Although you admitted in the description of the video that this was such an insidious production move.

And Ivan Dorn asked me the same question when we spoke with him for Interview magazine. He also believed that all this had been invented by someone. And I have an internal rebellion every day. People in production tell me: “You’ve already seen that people like everything, now go and shoot yourself a commercial video. You’ll see, there will be a lot of views, you’ll go on tour.” And I say: “No, I want to do it my way.” And I constantly conflict

- Were you worried when Dorn interviewed you?

It felt like before an exam. Although I know him - I photographed him a couple of years ago, we were friends. One day I met Ivan on the street. He says: “Oh, little one, will you take a photo of me?” I say: “Listen, Vanya, I’m already doing something else. And in general, I really want to become so cool that you and I can do a fit.” And when he reminded me of this at the end of the interview, I ran home happy and wrote a new track in a second.

The fact is that after the album “Mag-ni-you” I couldn’t write anything for two months. This glory has fallen. And like any normal person, I was a little overwhelmed. I had star fever, only it was expressed not in the fact that I was arrogant, but in some kind of fear. And I was so inspired by Dorn's words that he felt vitality and honesty in me that I wrote a new track. The song is called “Sad Dance”, which is what I decided to call it.

Following the premiere of the “Sad Dance” EP, a video of the same name was released

- Do you understand where the talk comes from that the Moon is a fabricated project?

Of course not. Although I had questions about why I didn’t have so many views. But “Luna” is not a mass project, I’ve come to terms with that. And I continue to stick to my line. They send me house remixes of “He Doesn’t Walk With You” and assure me that it will tear everyone apart, but I don’t want to. That’s what Yura says to me: “Mushrooms” are a big deal right now.” And Luna... Her audience is gradually growing, but it seems to me that this will last for a long time. And in fifteen years this sound will be appreciated in the same way, because it is not in trend. I understand how to reformat it into a more pop project. But what publications are now contacting me matters to me.

- The interest of journalists is a fleeting thing. Today you are in fashion, tomorrow you need someone new.

I understand. But it doesn’t seem to me that I caught the hype of the new product and it’s empty back there. I live by this, I have plans, deep roots, a connection with the cosmos. And well, I don’t care at all. My soul is calm.

- You haven’t had many concerts. Are you afraid that something won’t work out in Moscow?

I was afraid in Kyiv, it was the first concert in my life, every day I woke up at 5 am, and in my head: “Concert, concert.” And I spent my energy before the concert and at the concert I was in the last stages - what can I give? And what can I even do? I really expected that after the Kyiv concert there would be more performances, this did not happen, but I was not upset. Because if you start waiting for something, you can quickly grow old. I am on a relaxed wave, and my team, the creative team of Luna, makes me happy. These are my musicians, this is Alina, with whom we develop ideas and grow together. I’ve already relaxed on stage, even if I’m the only one singing under minus, I’ll absolutely hold people’s attention. I have something to give, I want to tour.

My husband has a big production company, I see how everything works there. I see how you need to shoot clips, how important it is to launch them on time and why you don’t need to shoot ten clips a month, as I want. But I need to walk this path myself, make these mistakes. Every day I gain experience, I grow up, I am only 26 years old, and until recently I did not understand much. And I wouldn’t have understood if I hadn’t stepped on all this rake myself. If a person does not eat and drink, he will die in four days. I feel the same way that I will die if I don’t go and shoot my videos the way I want, and write my songs the way I want, with my musician, whom I chose for myself and who suits me.

It seems that journalists, and behind them the audience, do not quite understand how my project works. They probably think that they invested money in me, filmed videos and hired sound producers who created my musical image. In fact, this is a DIY project that arose as a result of a somewhat spontaneous collective work - mine, Sasha, and the rest of the musicians who together make up Luna prod. This is life that begins in the morning after family matters. Directly across the street from the house at the base of Luna Prod. is our musical world. I have long been no longer alone in this vision; behind the Moon there is its own lunar team, consisting of creative people who have found each other.

“Autumn” is not Luna’s first video, but it so happened that after its premiere on “Afisha” people paid attention to her - and this is what it led to

There are several new Russian indie-pop projects that I would like to list with you, separated by commas. This is Yana Kedrina (“Cedar of Lebanon”), and this is the group “None of Your Business.” Do you know anything about them?

I was at the “Cedar of Lebanon” live in Kyiv, I have her favorite song, I like it. Alina, who makes all my videos, did the visualization for her performance. I came with her and danced great. Alina even told me: “By the way, many people compare you to her, they say that you repeat after her.” We do touch base somewhere, but she's more electronic and underground, I'm more pop. At my concert they stand and sing along, at hers they grab the wheel and dance, roughly speaking. I just saw the cover of “None of Your Business” - there is a girl and a bunch of men standing there. I saw it, but didn't listen. . The cover is cool.

They have an album a week after yours, and they were also asked questions: Luna's album appeared with references to 90s pop music, now yours - what does it all mean?

Did they react normally?

- They laughed it off. I think any creative person doesn’t really like being compared to someone else.

And it seems to me that this is normal. As for the trend for the 90s, I didn’t calculate anything. People ask me if I’m afraid of staying in the 90s when the trend changes, but I’m not in the 90s anyway. It just happened that way. Apparently, I have an instinct for what will be fashionable. That’s what happened with the “Superstar” sneakers - I saw them at a vintage market in LA - no one was wearing them then - and I thought: “Damn, these will be fashionable soon.” And a year later everyone put them on.

-Have you ever cried because of music?

And more than once. I am an emotional person, I take everything very close to my heart - not even criticism, but my internal processes. I wake up in the morning and it seems that Sasha doesn’t understand me. But not because he didn’t write me a song, but because at the rehearsal he somehow looked at me wrong. But now it’s easier for me - I’m interested in astrology and learning new energy sciences. This allows me to switch gears, because when I’m idle, I start to get annoyed. Now I have the release of an EP and videos, four shootings in Moscow, I’m so cool. And when I’ve done everything, I need to keep myself busy with something. Otherwise, I start thinking about things that are better not to think about. So I'm crying. This is reflected in the songs, there through the line “tears”, “my tears”. But again, if I cry, it means I like it. And there is no escape from this.

On the birthday of singer Luna, the site recalls an interview with one of the most prominent Ukrainian artists.

Our editors have been monitoring it for a year now. We met in September 2015. Christina Bardash (that’s Luna’s name in real life) had just played her first ever performance at Mercedes-Benz Kiev Fashion Days and was so organic in her simple lyrics about love, and her music was so reminiscent of “Guests from the Future” and Linda that we immediately reacted and wrote about it. I was the first journalist to interview Luna: Christina was nervous, twirled her golden hair on her finger, and said that she practices vocals every day and will produce herself independently (Christina’s husband is producer Yuri Bardash, owner of the Kruzheva Music company).

Exactly a year after our first meeting, Christina gives me an interview again, and I am amazed at how she has changed in a year: she has become more mature, tougher. During this time, Luna released her debut album “Ma-gni-ty”, which conquered Ukrainian and Russian music radio stations, and tickets for her first solo concert, held in Kiev in May, were sold out on the first day. Christina starred for the main glossy magazines - for example, Ivan Dorn spoke with her specifically for Interview Russia, and American Vogue called her the face of the Ukrainian musical revolution.

Now Bardash is a real star. We meet at the Orca bar on Bolshaya Zhitomirskaya: it’s raining outside, it’s cold, and the first thing Christina does is ask to move to another table: “It’s windy here, but I’m saving my throat.” Luna takes my remark about how she has changed calmly: “I have become more mature. Previously, I did everything intuitively, but now I do it more professionally. At first I wanted to do everything myself: it seemed to me that if a team appeared, my aesthetics would be disrupted; I thought that I couldn’t shoot commercial videos because Luna’s soul would be lost. Over this year, I realized that a team is needed: it only helps to emphasize the point.”

“In the video for “Distances” I dance in my underpants. My husband saw it, called and asked to remove this frame: “I don’t want your butt to be on the whole screen.”

Christina Bardash was born in 1990: the nineties are her favorite time and the source of her inspiration. It was then that Luna’s favorite music was playing - Zemfira, Angelika Varum, Linda, which is where her habit of buying accessories at a second-hand store near the Lesnaya metro station came from: “My mother, sister and I can spend hours digging around there!” This season, the nineties are the main trend, but Bardash doesn’t have to make an effort to be in the trend: she grew up in it. “The girls at the camp loved Britney Spears, and I sang to Natalya Vlasova: “I have yours-and-their but-o-og, thank you, don’t say-and-and...” Remember? I’ve always loved tearful music, and also Zemfira and Tatu.”

As a child, Christina, who today at concerts skillfully mixes MM6 by Maison Margiela boots with denim shorts bought at a second-hand store, like most girls, loved everything bright. Having earned my first money, I went to the Children's World on Darnitsa and bought a Turkish pink suit. “My parents were fashionistas and would give a lot for Levi’s jeans and Lacoste knitwear, and when my dad saw me in this suit, he swore a lot - they say, what kind of Turkish consumer goods did you choose?” Now Christina has reformed: she wears Opening Ceremony, Maison Margiela and Ukrainian designers - Ksenia Schneider, Anton Belinsky. She also dreams of having the costume for the video made for her by the creative director of Balenciaga and the designer of Vetements. “I’ll write him a letter,” Christina flirts.

Christina Bardash was born in 1990: the nineties are her favorite time and the source of her inspiration

The designer and singer have a lot in common: both love normcore, listen to Zemfira and are inspired by the new generation of urban youth: Luna in Kyiv, Gvasalia in Paris. Gvasalia likes to hold shows in unusual places - for example, in a gay club or a cheap Chinese restaurant, and Luna films videos in the same unexpected places. When she needs to concentrate, she gets into the car and changes the exemplary Lipki, where she lives with her husband and four-year-old son Zhora, to the Kharkovsky massif, where her mother’s apartment is located. Here, in a residential area built up in the early nineties with dull gray boxes, Luna retires and composes texts. Here, in the courtyard on the Kharkov massif, in the fall of 2015, she shot one of her first videos - a video for the song “Autumn.”

“One day I came to my mother, took a small Japanese camera, put on pajama shorts, a sweater found at my mother’s, threw on my favorite red raincoat - and decided that I would shoot a video right in the yard. Zhora cried, did not want to go to the garden, and I took him with me. There were almost no people, so my son wasn’t shy and we got some cool shots: we were dancing, hugging. At some point he got tired, cried, and we went home.” A couple of days later, Christina showed the video to her husband, and he, seeing the footage of a crying child and Luna dancing in an empty yard, saw the hit. “Go edit,” he said. Christina sent her husband for a walk with her son, and made a video in two hours. Within a few days, “Autumn” blew up Ukrainian YouTube, gaining tens of thousands of views, and users started a whole discussion under the video about what is more in the Moon – early Zemfira or late Linda.

The success is easy to explain: Luna has a sincere story. “Do you know how I started writing songs? My husband and I separated, and in six months I wrote thirty songs – they just flowed.” (Later, these songs were included in the album “Ma-gni-you.”) For a long time, the texts lay on the table, and after reconciliation with her husband, Christina once came to visit friends and began to “rhyme some things on the go” with a guitar. lines." “The company was friendly, and friends said: “You can do it!” Bardash remembered that at the music school she was assigned a second soprano, came to the studio and recorded her favorite song - “Let's forget everything” by Angelika Varum. “It was so scary that I didn’t even dare to sing in minus - I sang in her voice, because I was afraid to hold the melody myself.”

Now she is not afraid of her voice, but she still protects her world from random people. For example, her younger sister Alina films her videos: “She feels my aesthetics, and this is the main thing, and I taught her the technical subtleties.” Luna’s aesthetics are close-ups, grainy pictures, deliberately primitive texts, erotica (“In the video for “Distance” I dance in my underpants. My husband saw it, called and asked to remove this frame: “I don’t want your butt to be on the whole screen”). . Luna gives the impression of a DIY project, but at the same time there is an influential production house behind it. How does it fit together? “Yura and I are a super team. He supports me: he helps me shoot videos, assemble the right team, and arranges for security to be present at my performances. That's all producing. As for creativity, he did not make a single edit in our album “Ma-gni-you”.

“Do you know how I started writing songs? My husband and I separated, and in six months I wrote thirty songs – they just flowed.”

In October-November, Luna will play several big concerts - in Kyiv, Tel Aviv, Riga and Moscow. Bardash is a little surprised by the popularity that has befallen her, but admits that this is not a reason for narcissism, but rather a motive to work. “We rehearse three times a week, and I’m also at home every day, when Yura goes to work and Zhora is in kindergarten.”

After the interview at Orca, we head to the Artist's House, where Luna and her musicians - two guitarists and a drummer - are rehearsing. The musicians laugh: on her laptop, Christina shows them a cut of footage from the Soviet film “Carnival” with Irina Muravyova, where her heroine sings the famous song “Call me, call.” "Love this song. Let's do a remix?" – Bardash smiles.

Pop singer in a regular column about rising stars

Almost everyone started talking about Kristina Bardash as the singer Luna at the same time. Her amateur and simple girlish clips began to appear on social media feeds. The most popular of them is “Autumn,” which has been viewed more than 90 thousand times to date.

On May 20, at the presentation of her debut album “Mag-ni-you,” Luna gathered a full hall - about a thousand people.

What others are saying:

Vlad Fisun, DJ, host of Aristocrats radio:“The entry of such a seemingly simple project as “Luna” into the musical field turned out to be difficult for many - for adherents of the competitive idea in music, for those who are accustomed to seeing song performers in all guises, from people's judges to culinary specialists, for those , who needs a singer to broadcast and throw down from the stage. And Christina Bardash’s project is a study of the surrounding world with large, moist eyes. A study in which even flowers, even precipitation can cause genuine trembling, make you watch for hours how the heat of June dissolves the last cloud in the sky. Without the roar of timpani. And with such parameters of sound and ideological pressure, it seems that you will not penetrate the audience shackled in office chains. But people come to sing, drink and cry. Although in reality the girl herself is cheerful."

Yuri Kaplan, leader of the group "Valentin Strykalo":"The form that appeals to nostalgic feelings is often devoid of new meanings, and as a rule there is nothing behind the shabby screen. In this case, everything is different. Luna’s music is certainly part of our cultural code, it speaks to the generation of the nineties in a language very familiar to them, but "Now this is a conversation with adults. And there is nothing infantile in it. We are all very sad, we miss, and this is serious."

What Christina says:

In our group I write songs. When the impulse arises, I write down a poem on my iPhone. Then another mood comes, more melodic, and I write music to the poem. But I want to put the melody into some form, and here my desire is simply not enough. And in terms of music, the guys come to my aid. I'm glad they exist. Their masculine energy complements mine, we have a balance of masculine and feminine principles.

We don't want to focus on the fact that we are a group. It is enough that we ourselves know it. We have the face of "Luna" - a beautiful girl who writes songs. This image doesn't need to add anything extra.

For me, "Moon" is not just a name. I began to immerse myself in this topic, and the more I listen to the moon, the lunar calendar, the more I feel interaction with it. And the guys feel it too. But I don’t want to pretend to be a person who says “if the moon told me no, then I’ll stay home.”

On the day of the album presentation, I imagined the worst case scenario so as not to be upset later. But deep down I knew that everything would be great. And when I saw the hall, I realized that this was the power of lunar standing. There was a full moon that day.

On stage I was as sincere as possible. There is no such thing that I somehow transform myself on stage. Every girl is an actress. Now I talk to you like this, but at home with my husband - in a different voice. Everyone does this, it's normal. We always play some role, but this role is organic. I don’t transform into another person and don’t act fake. These are my feelings.

“An artist must go on stage and give his all” is wrong. Above me is space, below me is the earth - these are two huge inexhaustible forces. And I am a transmitter. When people look at me, I can take power from space, power from the earth and transmit it to them through my heart.

I think my audience ranges in age. But mostly these people- dreamers. For them, sensations and emotions are very important, and they are not afraid of them.

During the concert I changed clothes three times. My friends have created a new brand, Drag and Drop, which everyone will soon hear about. I am the first to wear items from this collection. When I saw these clothes, I was very happy, because for a long time I could not decide what to wear to the concert.

For me, the right collaboration is a collaboration without nerves. When you really give each other something in return and everyone feels comfortable about it. No one suffers or caves. This desire must come from two hearts, and if it coincides, then it coincides.

I recently had a super collaboration with Victoria Kokha, a girl from Moscow. She blew up the Internet with her images. She performs on Instagram as a makeup artist under the name vivicoxy - this is her main profession. And she has another account where she creates strange makeup on her face. In this account she made a video parody of my song “Boy, you are snow.” They tagged me in the comments and I subscribed to it. Then she wrote to me that I inspired her and that she wanted to come to me. In Kyiv, we made a joint video with her, which will be released soon. Half of the clip was shot on an iPhone, half- on a Panasonic film video camera.

When I came up with the video for "Autumn", I had a certain idea— take my son and shoot a video on a laptop, but I didn’t know what would happen in the end. It was impromptu, I couldn’t predict that he would cry and that the girl in the background would pump her abs. It turned out very atmospheric.

My son teaches me a lot. I'm glad that he appeared at a stage when I had not yet matured. Because now he won't let me do it. I don’t want to become an adult and serious, I want to always remain a child.

Everything that is happening to me now, and all the results of the work done bring me closer to popularity every day. It’s not easy, the responsibility is growing, but I’m ready for it. If I am a dreamer and a child at heart, this does not mean that I do not understand how to build my life correctly.

Some people say I'm better on record than live. I have special vocals. I understand that somewhere the voice sounded too loud because I couldn’t hear myself well. But I am an inexperienced artist, this was my first concert. I've never played an hour-long program before.

I love criticism, it helps me analyze myself and move on. I even felt a little uneasy when everyone praised me in the dressing room after the concert. Inside I felt: it was so cool that I felt sick.

Now I’m not the only one thinking about how the Luna project will develop. There are already many of us, and this is my achievement. Now I can only worry about my songs.

I’m not some star that was put on TV and she’s spinning there. I'm just a girl from the street, and everyone can see how I'm developing. Two years ago they would have laughed at me if I had said that I wanted to record a track. And now I have gathered a thousand people in the hall.
