Is it that in Ashdod it is more exciting than other stages?
“The truth is that it’s much more exciting than anywhere else, because it’s the city I was born and raised in and I know everything here. I would also go on stage as a kid and see the singers performing and then now I perform there in the same place, there is nothing more exciting than that.”
