He’s a hardworking man and very passionate about his work. He’s always said he’s a professional person too. I have the highest respect for him because of his dedication in his chosen path.
I love to read praises of him by professionals…and to have a peep in the kitchen so to speak…we always see the end results but don’t get to see the hardwork that he puts in it…sooooo dedicated.
It’s not easy to sing in a foreign laguage that not your own…let alone two at the same time.
It’s very difficult to deliver the meanings and the feelings to go with it..and he did great!!
This really shows his talents to act on every level!!
