Then there were different periods, I even wanted to sing only mantras and completely abandon the direction of pop music. But I was able to find a compromise and agree with myself, mainly thanks to my spiritual mentor, who told me: “It doesn't matter what you sing. It is important how you do it. People feel the message that comes from your heart. " For six years, the girl has been doing yoga, starts the morning with meditation and gave up animal products.
