Through videos and performances, I will attempt to find the common essence that I have with the various members of the “Forever 27 Club” – singers who died at the apex of their career – in the hope of finding the keys that will lead me to success. I started this work when I was 24 years old; I now only have two years and a few months left until I too reach that age. Here is my life’s punchline: three years to succeed or die.
