The singer acknowledged that everyone has their unique path, and the crucial element for success is to stay true to one’s originality in music.

He said, “If I could give advice to aspiring musicians, just be original.

“I used to live in America. I could have stayed just done what everybody else was doing.

The most important thing is be original.”
