Gediminas Gelgotas (1986, Litauen)

geb. Vilnius (06.12.1986)

“It’s not money, it’s not fame. There are no logical reasons, no explanation that would sound ordinary enough. It is something that Whitney Houston once described to the very point: ’Love and Music is really the same for me’. It’s just a way of living, which actually requires a lot of work and patience. Maybe it’s still not widely understandable in our society that people can do a job that step by step builds his self-realization. Then fame and money is not what you really have to deal with and sacrifice or commitment gain a different meaning.”

From the new book by Gediminas Gelgotas (Coming Soon)
