The singer also opened up on his passion for wildlife, which he has chosen as the subject of his photography. "It's about the love for all living creatures. I feel drawn to the forest. The wind whispering through the trees tries to tell us a tale. Sometimes we just need to listen. The jungle transmits the enchantment and mysteries of its surrounding to the questing pilgrim. It is my meditative space. The earth has magic for those who believe in it!"
