Asked what moved her to combine opera with rock music, she says, “When I studied at the conservatory, my professors always said that I should choose between the lyrical vocals and the modern vocals. But I used both vocal styles because I could never decide for one. I love the music and both styles have helped me find and perfect my vocals.”
