The pop artist Venzy is actually called Vencislav Auori. He was born on February 4, 1987 in Sofia in the family of Dr. Vesela Prashanova and the economist Prince Roland, a Nigerian by nationality. The new star of the Bulgarian music scene graduated in sound direction at the New Bulgarian University. At the end of 2012, Venzi started a professional career through the music company "Monte Music", where his producer is Vladimir Ampov-Grafa. It is gaining popularity with hits such as "Ah, dano, ama nadali", "Dangerously close", "Stom ti si do me". But few people know that Venzi supports charitable causes. That is why she received the "Daniela Seizova - for the sake of life" award from the "Bulgarian Patient Forum" foundation in the "Man with a big heart" category

Congratulations, Wenzie, for the “Man with a Big Heart” award

- We should not seek recognition for charity. But this award is important to me because it's a sign that I'm going in the right direction. Since my work has reached many people, I see it not only as a product to sell, but as a way to touch people, to give them something they don't have, to send them a good message - let's be together, yes we believe in appreciating the little things in life. In my latest single "Number changed" I want to tell people that they should boldly move forward, close the old pages and open new ones. We did the track with a very talented rapper. We experimented with both the look and the sound - we wanted something harder and with more hip-hop, because that's one of the styles that is close to my heart. I'm a pop artist with a hip-hop heart, with shades of reggae. I am very grateful that as a public figure with some influence and opportunity to be heard, I can use this power of mine to help, to be an example. And in life there are fewer and fewer examples that lift you up, that make you grow, dream, not give up.

How did you help Nellie - the girl from Gorna Oryahovitsa with psoriasis?

- When she has seizures, scales appear on Nellie's head, for which she was humiliated at school. If people don't understand the problem, especially children, they can draw ugly conclusions. The negative attitude is from a lack of awareness. Together with my wonderful colleague Mihaela Fileva and kaka Lara, we went to Nelly's school. We talked to her class, hugged and kissed this girl,

to show that psoriasis is not contagious,

that there is no point in her classmates worrying. We wanted them to understand that different is not always bad. When you get to know him, you realize that you are facing a person who is not much different. Even the more you look into it, the more similarities you find.

I was very happy that when we arrived in Gorna Oryahovitsa, there was already a change in the attitude towards Nelly. We just reinforced it. We showed that it's not bad to be different, it's bad to be uninformed and point fingers for no reason.

He also supported the information campaign about familial cholesterolemia, because of which young people are at risk of stroke and heart attack. What did you find out about yourself personally?

- Thanks to this campaign, I learned the importance of proper nutrition and combining foods and spices. I tried different combinations and learned that I can make them in 5-10 minutes at home with no effort, and they are extremely he althy. I got a lot of inspiration for some dishes because I like to cook from time to time. I have had gastritis since I was 12 years old, which at the beginning of 2015 I irritated with spoiled sushi and

had to go to hospital

Then I told myself that I should be very careful about what I eat. Even as a child, a thought of Hippocrates made a strong impression on me - "Let food be your medicine and food be your medicine". But only now I am fully beginning to understand what it means. When you understand your body, when you start listening to it and giving it what it needs, just by eating you can increase your body's energy, be he althier, more durable, even more positive. I try, as far as my daily life allows, to eat he althy. So, step by step, I'm starting to feel the result, the positives of the small efforts I've made to change my diet.

And what brought you to gastritis?

- Like most children, I didn't want to eat manji, soups, I ate only sandwiches and croissants, I drank colorful juices. This became systemic and the gastritis "called" itself. Over time, I started reading about different diets. I already love soups and can live on them alone. I also do sports, go to the gym, do stretching exercises. This is the other important part of taking care of your he alth so that you don't have to take medicine later. As a student I trained in athletics and that gave me a very good start.

Sporting children develop physically properly

It is possible to get in shape even years later, when you've given up beer. Because muscles have memory, the body remembers what exercises it performed.

Have you grown a beer belly?

- There was such a period (laughs). But I participated in the dance show "Dancing Stars" and I had to get in shape very quickly. For six weeks I danced for 4 hours every day. Believe me - no sport and fitness can compare with dance as a means of burning excess fat and developing the whole body. Perhaps only athletics and swimming are capable of making you use every muscle in your body. I lost a lot of weight with dancing. Unfortunately, as soon as that adventure was over, I relaxed, started snacking, and quickly gained even more weight than I had before entering Dancing Stars. The moment came when all this began to weigh on me. I was almost 90 kg, now I'm 78 and I'm thinking of losing another 1-2 kg. I am on the principle of "Being comfortable in your own skin". If someone feels good at 90 kg, then that is their weight. But I liked it more.

Are you taking medicine for something?

- Almost not. I just take something mild to nip the cold in the bud. As a child, I had to use an inhaler because of breathing difficulties due to allergies. It subsided during puberty. But I was also on the other side, on the patient's side. They kept telling me: "Don't go out without the pump!" I know how engaging it is, how you almost hate the whole world because of this thing. But then I started doing sports seriously and it helped me a lot.

What is it like to live with a doctor at home?

- My mother, Dr. Vesela Prashanova, was a general practitioner, retired soon. But I am very grateful to her that when I need medical advice, she is always there. It's good to have a doctor at home. I learned a lot from her medical books from a very young age. The adults grabbed their heads when I told them. I was most interested in obstetrics and gynecology. When I was 6-7 years old and could already read well, I had read all her textbooks. Instead of singing songs, I gave lectures to guests at home, to grandparents. For example, about how children are made, how the sperm travels to the egg. Everyone fell silent in shock, and my mother blushed. (laughs)

Did Dr. Prashanova insist that you study medicine?

- Oh, he wanted to. Me too, because I was good at chemistry and biology. The teacher chased us with another boy like me, an excellent student - his name was Geleto, to quickly finish the tests and leave the room, so as not to suggest to the others. I wanted to become a plastic surgeon to help those who have had their appearance damaged by accident or otherwise because I knew how much people care about it. I too was victimized at one point in my life for being different in some way. I mostly wanted to beautify people, to restore their self-confidence, to make them smile. Alas, I did not become a plastic surgeon. Music attracted me more. But with my profession and vocation now I beautify people from the inside and make them smile again.
