What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is my favourite language, as it is infinite in how I can express myself. It can give me a vast variety of emotions.

What is your music dream?

To be able to make my music undisturbed, and not having to worry about my finances. Produce Blu-ray Audios and videos.

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

I know I can't change anyone, I can only inspire others to change themselves, so I would start with myself. That's why I am vegan, don't smoke or drink, or take any kinds of drugs, buy organic produce and food, don't use nylon bags or cans, etc....I try to keep my ecological footprint as small as possible.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Probably "Honey, don't you want a man like me?" by Frank Zappa.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Frank Zappa, Greg Howe, Shawn Lane, Diana Krall, Nat King Cole, Tony Bennet, AC/CD, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, J.S. Bach, Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Stravinsky, etc..

What inspires you to make music?

The fact that a fretboard is akin to the universe, in that it is endless, and therefore boredom is out of the question. To express specific ideas, values, or emotions.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

Too many to mention. I don't want to limit myself to any one thing. If it were one message it would be: Be a decent, moral, principled person, with an honest heart and compassion towards all living beings. Realize that we are all one, and that there is no I in WE. Reunite with nature.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

It depends on what kind of music it is, what kind of audience it is, etc....

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

Muy triste. Governments and "regular" people should acknowledge the importance of art in general, and that it deserves financial support, so artists can continue to contribute. Just because you can't touch music, doesn't make it any less valuable than good food, as it is food for the soul and psyche.

What do you think of Drooble?

Seems like a cool place actually.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Too little time to focus on my music, as too much times is wasted taking care of everyday things, such as shopping, etc..

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

Nope. I only go to concerts if I really like the artists.

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

It should be original and unique. Sadly, people tend to listen to covers, rather than check out people's original material.

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

Shawn Lane. Greg Howe....how should I know who you have or haven't heard of? LOL
