What are your chances in the industry?

Everyone has a chance, as long as you have the charisma. As for me, my chance of surviving in the industry is high because I am unique and different. Above all, with God on my side, everything will be okay.

How has life been as an artiste?

Life has been more interesting. There is more money, more connections, but it reduces your privacy.
