What can you tell me about your song? what is the story behind it?
The song is about my life in paris, about my dreams back then, about how I manage to keep chasing my dreams thru the roughness of the city, to be able to think positive even though I slept on the street to survive for 7 months.
Its about making something great for my life coming from a gettho, the song is about me and everyone else who had it rough in their lives ;)!
Dreams, loneliness, help and passion

My plans for 2014 is to be a better man, to make my music, to give love to my two beautiful and amazing women. for the rest we'll see what the future will bring
I would to say that I couldn't have done this without my wife who saved my life, who pull up with me all this years, everybody should have somebody like that. She's my inspiration, my muse, my everything and it's important for me that people knows that cause alone we can't do nothing, we have to have people around us who are real and sometimes bring us to the right place. This dream that I have it's not just for me anymore it's for her and for my daugther. Familly is everything and I love them so much
