Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Since I was 14 years old I was singing by my own and also sang on some projects for Party Animals Production which was founded by Can7 of TPA Music now..but it we did not label it.
1999 - 2000 I had my own quintett , the Gillis Arsonie Quintett, unfortunately we were always on the road but did not record. " At this time I was listening John Coltrane...and tried to change my sound on saxophone "
2000-2006 Gillis wrote many songs , worked for some projects and decided to release them through Gillijazz Music.I am filled with music and musical ideas where i do not seperate in genre... but just say ..I f you can find soul in it...you can call it music.."
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes , I do play live..I mean..music is alive..to play live is normal for me because actually I am a jazz musiscian, so improvising in the moment is like home .
