Raku

Prima lui caseta audio a fost albumul Dangerous al lui Michael Jackson, primit cadou. Nu a ascultat dintotdeauna exclusiv hip-hop, copil fiind era fascinat de sunetul tambalului si acordeonului, din muzica bulgareasca si sarbeasca, si din bucatile lautaresti vechi. Inainte de revolutie asculta cu placere muzica genericelor de la TVR de genul celui ce. Dupa 1989 asculta din diverse genuri formatii ca: Tehnotronic, Snap, Kriss Kross, Doctor Alban, Inner Circle, 2un Limitted, Boys II Men, Ace of Base, Metallica, Enigma, Queen, UB40 etc.
