this kind of it john i was born and brought up here in berlin but his parents from indonesia i mean he's a stock that lives between the two cultures this mix is reflected in his playing and especially in his latest album us see which is an eclectic blend of all sorts of music and sounds talking to him in a minute but first let's hear his music. there's a bit of this kind are we jaya is a musician who doesn't like to be pigeonholed musically or personally the berliner with indonesian roots is an exceptional violinist who finds inspiration outside the world of classical music i collect a charismatic driven for him the music is all that matters. to me make music to touch people to move them and to reach a point where we ourselves are so touched on stage that we can move others it doesn't work any other way. the indonesia

because people are thirsty hungry for it i feel like they're sucking in every note that i play and it's something so special and outstanding for them to listen to pure classical music they don't have to start there so you actually play a classical piece perhaps in a different way than you might here. myself like to challenge my audience because i feel like it gives me a special energy when i feel that the audience has hear something odd that they don't hear every day so whenever i'm in indonesia of course i try and reach them on a very emotional level because people over there that's the only way you can take that in touch them over here i like to give a little bit of experimental challenging programs collaborating with all sorts of different artists out of my concert comfort zone and for me this is the most interesting thing to just reach out. and it's not just musical style your image

is very important to you or i get that impression of you you go. to photo shoot you're on the front of cosmopolitan tommy hilfiger. does some of your clothes if you wanted to that's very important that well sort of happens i never force it into being it's just people sort of approach me if i want to be on an issue door and i kind of i don't refuse because it's. part of the spirit of our time i believe and why i say no to it because as artists we have to be current we have to be relevant and we have to sort of get a grip of what is what's up today isn't it i think it's very refreshing now bach is the greatest for me my really really a lot of professional musicians say this they don't say mozart or beethoven what easy it. has everything it's like we say in german the a and the it's it's has the perfect balance of you know triggering intellect reaching

people's emotions it's not pure emotional music whenever i play to people that don't know the music so much i feel like to try and just look for the emotion in the music but it's so much more and it's the more you listen to it the more you dig into the music the more satisfying it actually becomes because there's infinite layers to this music and every day i discover something new in his music i practice every day one movement of my well that's fine again and every day i can also play it in a different way and it never becomes boring this music. let's talk about the new album which has sort of so many styles on and including the album's called see this is a piece that i'm much reach to who i know live to hear a billion you told me vote interviews must really go back to london but. i feel this is very personal record it is. an album that refuses

compartmentalisation as i do as an artist i. i don't know i'm a very wild mix of their friend racist even i'm arabian chinese indonesian because both my parents are mixed so probably all those different genes reflect into my music and this album it is as you said very personal very intimate . and it's a very negative album it reflects a lot of my past my childhood my my. you know i got a sense because i used to meditate a lot i lived a very spiritual life back then so this is all part of my album not was my next question you know that it feels to me a very spiritual album that's very important for you know is i mean is that also i mean i know one thing you don't like being called a child prodigy all this great because it was all down to a lot of hard work well i believe a certain amount of intelligence or talent is probably necessary in order to
