Jānis Streičs: Balancing Career and Fatherhood

During the most active period of his career, he became not only a star for the listeners, but also a father to two sons – Mick and David Widwood. Listening to the story of how busy his life was, the question arises: where did he have time for his family?

“For my first son, I was still quite the kind of dad he saw, and when I was in Liepāja between all the trips around the world, we had various events; we walked, drove, spent time together. I also feel that I saw a lot.

With the other son… It was already a time when there were many other responsibilities. There was a music club and restaurant in Liepāja, active development of my solo career also began, and it also coincided with the period when Agra and I broke up, therefore, of course, it is clear that in such cases the victim is the child. For my part, I remember that wherever I could, I took my son with me, we drove in the car and I tried to be by his side as long and as much so that he would not lose this feeling.
