Haiya!: When did you discover that you had a passion for music??
Ras Luigi: It actually began in church. I was 12 years old and in primary school when I started singing in church. I also loved listening to music and learning Taekwondo. In High School (Buruburu High School), my love for Taekwondo went hand in hand with my love for music. I would lock myself up somewhere and use an improvised microphone. I also loved playing football and was nicknamed Luigi after the Italian player.
