Let’s talk about a simple technology, what phone do you use daily and why?
I used long-range cordless phones in 1995 to ensure consistent contact. I looked into technology like pagers and the first Sony Ericsson GSM mobile phone out of a desire to stay in touch whenever I wanted. I experimented with Android devices but found their usability to be difficult. I’ve decided to use an iPhone 7 and an iPhone 11. Before I upgrade, I usually keep each phone for around five years. When the next upgrade is available, I will replace my iPhone 7 with a newer model as part of my routine. This cycle enables me to stay up to speed with technology while making sure my equipment is always working and current.
What will buy your next phone? and why?
I’ve decided to get an iPhone 15 today. My wife and kids have been urging me to upgrade my phone for the past couple of years, and I’ve heeded their advice. I’ve decided to get the iPhone 15 as my next smartphone to follow their advice and accept technological improvements. This decision displays my adaptability to current technology as well as my respect for my family’s thoughts and opinions.

You are quite prolific on social media. Huge on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and any other platforms. Talk to me about that. How do you use the different platforms and how important are they in your daily activity?
In the modern digital landscape, platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok play a vital role. They allow me to interact with a global audience, present my creative work, and keep informed thanks to shared content. These social media platforms have supplanted traditional media outlets like TV and radio as the main venues for entertainment, creative expression, marketing, informational consumption, and lifelong learning. Similar to the functioning of smart devices, this adaptable tool promotes connectedness, develops creativity, and speeds up the process of learning. As a result, it is a crucial part of a balanced and intelligent lifestyle.
Would you mind discussing how, in the digital age, technology has changed how performers and viewers interact with one another and their craft?
Indeed, there are pros and cons in life, but I choose to focus on the positives. Since the world is always changing, new ways of interacting with audiences through technology, like apps and social media, are emerging. While these developments offer fresh opportunities for interaction, some traditions continue to be practiced. Live theater productions, sporting events, and concerts have an enduring appeal that resists technological change. These physical meetings’ primal energy, communal feelings, and shared moments are irreplaceable and act as constants in a quickly changing society.
How has technology played a significant role in your journey as a singer and in shaping your career?
Technology has been fundamental to my development as a singer and has had a significant impact on the course of my career. It has given me access to previously unheard-of technologies for creating, interacting with, and connecting with a worldwide audience. I’m able to share my music and interact with listeners in ways that were previously unthinkable thanks to digital media. While I’m still working to fully realize technology’s possibilities, I’m actively investigating it through making music, making videos, and posting observations on social media. Each project, while still a work in progress, is a step toward releasing the power of technology. I’m convinced that as I continue to develop my abilities and broaden my online presence, I’ll reach new heights of creativity and participation in my artistic endeavors.
Do you feel the rapid advancements in technology, how do you see it impacting the entertainment industry, and the way actors approach their roles?
I consider myself extremely lucky to have seen the transition from manually operated to fully automated modern technology, especially in the audio and visual fields. The evolution from CCD cameras and standalone video recorders to today’s wireless, high-resolution capabilities that defy conception has been astounding. In the same way, I switched from 4-track analog tape recording to infinite multitrack digital systems and virtual instruments that could compete with real ones. The same hardware and software are now used throughout the world, but how we use them differs. Maintaining technological proficiency is essential if you want to adhere to global business norms. However, the introduction of AI poses a new problem that could affect our customary creative processes. Finding a balance between AI’s potential and our inherent artistic nature becomes crucial as we navigate this environment.
Are you more inclined towards iOS or Android devices, and what are the reasons for your preference?
I tend to favor iOS devices because of their dependability, simplicity, and user-friendly UI. A robust and dependable experience is provided by iOS devices’ seamless hardware and software interaction. The user-friendly interface makes navigating simple for both experienced smartphone users and those who are new to the device. iOS offers a sense of trustworthiness that fits with my tastes for a seamless and effective user experience thanks to regular upgrades and a focus on security.
