Nel 2011 avevo iniziato a mettere delle cover in inglese su YouTube e più ne mettevo più le visualizzazioni aumentavano, anche ad arrivare a 100,000 views, che già mi sembrava un risultato spaventoso. Vedere che il video di SOLDI ha raggiunto 100 milioni di views mi fa capire che tutto ciò che ho fatto fino ad oggi lo rifarei altri milioni di volte.
