INTERVIEW; PULLA STAFF ESTRAGA
Were you born in Portugal?
I was born in Portugal, in Almada.
I’m 27 years old
Tell us a bit about your childhood/teenage ?
I started in the music world since I was 14 years old, I got the taste for dance watching Kuduro and Afro House videos on YouTube at the time, meanwhile I started to get known for being the only white guy in the African music world.
What influence does your family have on your taste for music?
My family has always supported me, especially my mother who follows my work the most.
How and why did you start making music?
I started in the world of dance as I had mentioned before, then I thought of creating my own music and inventing the touches of each sound with choreography, it was then that I started to gain a passion for singing and to discover that I also had talent with my voice.
When did you realize that your music is your thing ?
Over time I gained recognition and more and more people gave me support and motivation to continue singing. Then I saw that I couldn’t give up because there were young people following in my footsteps and wanting to do the same as me by being inspired by my songs.
You are the author of several hits like “SOMBRA”, how have these hits influenced your career ?
All the songs I have are made with experiences that I have lived and also moments that I have passed through in my life. I always try to transmit in music my reality. I rarely sing things I don’t live or eccentric things. Because I want people to know a bit of my story through my sounds.
You were a member of the group “SATFF ESTRAGA”?
The Estraga Staff at this moment is composed by me. I am the only representative. In the past we were a group with many elements, but as time went by we split up, each one went their own way and started to have other goals and objectives. I ended up alone and representing the legacy of Staff Estraga.
Where do you want to go? How do you see your future as an artist in music from now on ?
I want to leave my name marked in the music world, I want people to know me as an artist, it’s mainly that they identify with my songs. It is not for fame or money, I love making music, I do it from the heart and everything I sing is genuine. That’s the pleasure I get from singing.
