"An intelligent boy, curious about everything, eager for freedom and hypersensitive."
Described by those close to him as intelligent, curious but also hypersensitive, luv resval was passionate about music but also about the world around him. He also showed humanity for people who were in difficulty as his manager reported in an interview : "Seeing someone else in pain would affect him for weeks. He would constantly make a gesture when he saw someone in pain. He might give 50 euros in cash to a homeless person. He felt a deep sadness about the state of the world today. He was happy on stage or in the recording studio. But it was hard for him when it was over. He had never been a fan of solitude. 'I don't see myself getting old,' he often told me. "I'm going to die soon, I know that. Before I go, I want to leave something for you."
