“Music has always shaped civilizations. It influences identity, memory, protest, healing, and unity. In today's polarized world, music can become a soft power for peace. As an advocate for peace and the environment, I believe music should raise awareness — about humanity, about coexistence, about our responsibility to the Earth. If my music can inspire even one person to become more compassionate, more thoughtful, or more open to dialogue, then it has achieved its purpose.”

'Anagnorisis', Dwiki's 5th album on MoonJune Records is out now:
• 2LP
• CD
• BandCamp 24bit Download
