IF YOU WEREN'T A MUSICIAN, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Before seriously taking up music I was a student at the Mathematics & Mechanics Faculty, so I probably would have become a mathematician. Although, perhaps, I still would have played music for pleasure.
WHAT MADE YOU SWITCH FROM MATHEMATICS TO MUSIC?
There has always been a musician in me. At some point I simply realised that I want music to be my profession and that this would require full immersion and giving up my scientific career. My choice was fully conscious and uncompromising.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE DOUBLE BASS?
I had no choice as such. Since I lacked musical training, I could take up either bass or bassoon. I chose bass. Although as a child I did learn percussions at a music school. In fact, I have always been surrounded by music, because my mother is a musician.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO SUCCEED?
Success is a lottery, but diligence and capacity for networking are certainly important. So is, obviously, talent.
