The songs that I present do not carry raptures, but are compatible with the nature of my voice and my personality, in order not to be the actor who presents the myth, and to the oldest The songs do not resemble my personality ».

I have not been harmed, and personally I deal according to the precautionary measures.

Regarding his handling of the harsh criticism to which he is exposed, he pointed out that he does not believe in the responses that some repeat, to the effect that they do not pay attention to criticism, indicating that he focuses with critics just as he concentrates with lovers, putting forward an example that the person who is followed by a dog whose speed doubles, as well as the one who wants to He joined the train, and that is why he decided to walk quickly who wants to catch the train and escape from the dog, in order to arrive in record time and succeed to have time to rest in the future, as he carefully reads criticism, writes the names of critics in a blacklist, puts the names of lovers on a white list, and returns To the two lists constantly, and thanking them together.

Facilities
