mission
Taki's ultimate goal with a great passion is to continue creating music that adds value to people's lives and inspires others to pursue their own creative passions. As Taki himself puts it: "I have a double Bachelor's degree in Psychology in English. Music was such a deep passion for me that I abandoned those avenues and am pursuing a full-time music career. I need to show my kids that they can pursue their dreams as well, fearlessly. Regardless of whether I succeed or not they'll always see me trying my hardest for them and that makes every triumph and failure worth it."
