"My dream is to become a very big star. I want to be as big as Salif Keita  and the only way to do that is to work very hard, so that is what I’m doing now. Working hard on research and rehearsals in order to develop my own style."

"As far as the future is concerned, I just want to become rich. I’m saving money in order to set up in business myself as a trader. If I get enough money I would like to go abroad to buy clothes, TVs, things like that, and then bring them back here to sell. This is the way to make good money in Mali."
