If you could change the world - what would you start with?

Humanity's obsession with religion. There's more killings and division in the world based on religion and politics more than anything else in the world. Music brings us together. Let's leave all our grievances behind and make some and perhaps enjoy some good art.

Fake people. I would rather hear someone completely raw. It's better miss a few notes live or what have you than mime your performances. In the studio, make sure that the artist actually played what is on the record. Sure production is always a factor and some of my favorite music is highly produced but make sure that the music is genuine to the artist's ability. Not the computers.

Of course. There are multiple local bands that I love to go and see that are local in my area. Ones I like are Promise To Myself Phoebe Marlowe Isaiah Tilson/The Lot The Brightside

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

Unfortunately you have to be abstrusely stubborn to get in front of a large audience. You have to have the pure desire and drive in the first place to make sure it gets there. Otherwise, a good business mind will do nothing but good for a musician and his career.

Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of.

The goddess on the Ukulele herself, Phoebe Marlowe. No one could make as much of a microphone and a Ukulele as this woman can,. With her strong voice that can cut right through you, you cannot help but be enthralled by her performance. Villain Of the Story Little known Metalcore band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. They still play breakdowns and they're still heavy as anything in 2019. They've stayed true to form with every release while still experimenting and pushing the boundaries of what their sound can be.
