The singer mentioned that his first idols were the KISS, and that his dream was to create a band that mixed the aesthetics of the masked ones with Rolling Stones and Sex Pistols.

Read what he said:

“I’ve been interested in music for as long as I can remember. My first idols were KISS. From an early age I wanted to entertain – and wanted to entertain with the music. I watched a lot of videos on VHS when I was a kid and a favorite movie of mine was’ The Great Rock ‘N’ Roll Swindle, which painted a very vivid and strange idea of ​​what a rock band was, which dominated me completely.”

“I was totally amazed by this movie. Obviously, I understood little at the time, but I understood later how much the Sex Pistols was a chaotic band and had a fucked career. But it definitely colored my thinking. I wanted a band that was somewhere between KISS, Rolling Stones and Sex Pistols – just scandalous and exaggerated, with fictional characters.”
