“I wanted. You have to want yourself. To work for it. It seems to me that it is not enough to be just talent, and I can’t say that this thing lies in me. That I like to work, but I had an extraordinary father, I have it, who today says: «What song do you get it? It gives the voice a little louder and a little effect ». I mean, it is also involved when I say to leave me. But to know that Dad knows. Thanks to him I arrived here today because if not, who knows where I was, we were probably singing in the Turzii Plain. He is the one who changed my life. It was a bit maybe too demanding but if it wasn’t, I didn’t get hereI, “confessed Andra in Podcastul”Simple things”, Moderate by Horia Brenciu.
