When did you first see DJ BoBo? That was in 1996 at the Bravo Super Show.
What was your best experience on stage? A couple of years ago, I was on stage in Las Vegas performing a Jackson 5 medley, and the entire Jackson family was in the audience. That was an incredible feeling.
What was your most embarassing experience on stage? Once there was some oil on the stage. Only on my side, of course. Everybody danced their choreos as ususal, only I was slipping and tripping on the oil like crazy. The other dancers looked at me really surprised wondering why I didn’t stick to my choreography.
After the short time you have been with us, what is your impression of the BoBo family? I think it is great that it’s really like in a big family, and I appreciate that everybody treats each other with a lot of respect.
What was the nicest gift you have ever got from a fan? A tiny little golden clock, not a watch, but one of those clocks you can put on a bracelet.
