This album is the inner depth of my soul and heart it contains all the things that intrigue me like searching for love, meeting despair and going through sorrow it are not only things I created by imagination but also many personal feelings are on here. On the tracks "Yellow bird " and "Until I'm back again" You can hear the struggle through my voice when I lost freedom while being on vacation in Sweden how desperate I was for home when I was innocently locked up in an Swedish institution for three months I recorded those two songs in there during music glass. Music and writing kept me human it was all the freedom I knew and the only thing I could rely on in there. On the track "We miss you so." which is also the campaign song for my blog (Sweden the land without humanity) I made a freestyle about the way Sweden kidnapped my little brother and sister and what its like for a sister to miss them and the this unfair bizar situation is affecting my family. 
Those three songs are the foundation of this album and the tracks I am closely connected with. The other tracks I could make by visualizing a certain event, place, time or occasion and I love to make art out of sad things, to lose my mind in a subject that is able to touch people. I hope many souls can connect with this album and the lyrics of the songs. 

I recorded nearly everything at home and I sang most songs as freestyles I just let the words flow out of my mind. The way I work on tracks is a strange process which only takes a few minutes per track. 
I see at as being a painter only without the paint and if the colors aren't right I just start over again with completely different shades and see if I like it more that way. My album isn't perfect neither would I want it to be since perfect doesn't exist and is a made up word. I do this because I love doing it, I love the way I can just evoke a feeling with my voice and sing the words that are in my mind on that moment by hearing that tune and that very thing is in my opinion what makes my songs so real and different from most. 

I'm a new name and I'm very aware of the fact that there are so many big fishes in the ocean together with so many small gold fishes who try to become bigger yet I hope the public gives me a chance to turn into a gold fish and I hope that this first debut album of mine is able to enchant hearts in the same way in which some artists manage to enchant mine. 

I would like to credit these amazing artists: Kai Engel, Andrea Carri, Soft Notes, Philippe Marin, Those Who Are Weary, Davide Biggi, Peece. Without you all this album wouldn´t have been possible so thank you so much for being a part of my Neverland.

Enjoy "Freedom of birds." every one !
