Freddy Marx Street (Oekraïne) speelt in het Einde van de Wereld

Who am I? According to my passport, my story began in Mongolia. However, my awareness of myself started only in Syria, from the moment when I accidentally received an electric shock at the age of three. This made my first memory of myself. Perhaps, at that moment, I got in touch with reality. The rest of my childhood flickers like movie frames: escapes from the kindergarten, hunting for grasshoppers, firewood used as toys, wars waged against my sister, my family’s constant relocations and the political map of the world. Yeah, that political map was huge and it used to be spread out on the floor where I travelled as a baby on my bare ass while studying the world. Since then, however, absolutely nothing has changed - I am still a poor bare-ass traveling all over the world, but now there is also a guitar with me.
... Who would have thought that, due to a broken leg, I would take a guitar and that my music would start in such a way?.. that the Wall Street brokers would dance in the subway to the sound of my songs... that five years of arrending a military academy and the strict uniform of an officer would instead encourage me to hold my guitar tighter and sing my songs louder... that writing any new tune would make me jumpin joy like a child… and would make me upset if it turns out thatI have already heard it somewhere earlier...
Everyone has the moment in one’s life when one needs to make a choice. The choice I made was music. Neither my parents nor the army nor the job could break my choice. It was rather the opposite - they happened to temper a musician in me. I left everything and departed for New York City in pursuit of my dreams...
Music is life ... a free life. And leading a free life means an continuos struggle against your fears, insecurities and anxieties. The struggle against the world around you and others’ misunderstanding of what you do. All of this fills my music with realness, passion and liveliness. All these things shape my music the way you hear and know it. This is the music I live by.
We gaan met de pet rond om Freddy Marx Street te bedanken voor het concert dat hij geeft.
