In Kurdistan, my family, and me could not peacefully settle down in one place. We were forced to move around from city to city, mountain to mountain to find a place to live in. This hardship was due to the fact that my father was an active Kurdish politician. This situation made it impossible for me to have long-time friendship with other children at my age. When I felt lonely and sad my radio, that provided me with music and songs, become my only friend. Since then, music has been a valuable and precious friend in my life and always will be.
