The defender’s deep-rooted love for music, as he references in the quotes above, comes from his family, whose influence he elaborates on later in the interview.
“My parents, at university when they were doing their studies, they met each other in a choir. They met each other by singing, through music, so everything started there,” Dalot explains.
“And I remember when I was a young kid I played piano for a while, I also tried to sing in a choir, so music was always a big part of my life.
“My sister [Mariana, a talented singer] was pretty much done that she would make music for her life – myself, I was a little bit in between sports and music, and as soon as I started to understand, or my parents start to understand, that I was more into football than music they pushed me a bit more to one side.
“But it was always something that was a big part of my life and I think everybody enjoys it. Even if it’s one time per day or one time per week, there’s always that space in your life to hear some music and to get inspired by music.”
