>> Ok lets start...

" When did you start composing music for first time in your life? Did you have a reason to start? "
>> When i was young i was in a traditional band in Israel. I was the '' touberleki boy '' of the band. This helped me a lot to learn a lot of things for music in general. I started composing music at the age of 14.

" All the amateur musicians-composers have an ispiration from an other profesional musician-composer when they do their first steps...Do you agree? Which artist was your idol or your general inspiration? "
>> Yes i agree with that. I inspired by Astral Projection, the best group of those years.

" When did you come for first time in Greece ? "
>> Before 5 years as i remember for a RLoaD party in Athens.

" Which was your best party here in Greece "

" Tell me about your family "
>> I have two brothers and one sister :)

" Which is the original name of the music tha we love (uplifting melodic trance) ? ''
>> The original name is called '' nitch o not'' that means in Hebrew '' victory'' because the melodies in the tracks are happy and they have uplifting style.

" Why do you think that nitch o not (uplifting melodic trance) music has a lot of fans mostly in Israel and Greece? "
>> My opinion is that Greeks and Israeli people have east beliefs and the same lifestyle so this music learned and loved very easy and fast in these countries.

>> Yes because music is for everyone and it is something happy.

" Mike Verros...say something about him "
>> Very nice guy.He made the uplifting melodic trance popular in Greece.

" Tell me your opinion about Suki Andry and Holy Swartz "

" Why artists as Zootrax, Sahar, Destination etc. stoped composing music or artists like astrix changed their style? "
>> Because music is changing every day and because they want to have a good carrier world wide.

" Israeli artists played most in Greece...do you know any artist from Israel who played to another country? "
>> Yes !!! Holy Swatz played in Japan and Kobi Kastoriano in Bulgaria.

'' Zohar Argov...? :) "
