Just a teenager trying to make music with his friends. Currently trying to combine elements from Guns N' Roses, My Chemical Romance, BMTH, Green Day, Paramore, Marilyn Manson, and Nirvana to form our band's sound. Still have no idea how it's gonna work out.. And we still need a set vocalist.

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

Music is life to me. It gives me relaxation, happiness, a way to vent out anger, and a way to get rid of sad vibes.

What is your music dream?

To be able to play concerts, record songs, and release albums, but not to be popular (at least not too popular).

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

I wouldn't change it in the first place - everything happens for a reason.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

November Rain by Guns N' Roses

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Guns N' Roses, Green Day, Slash, Nirvana, Bring Me The Horizon, My Chemical Romance, Marilyn Manson, Paramore, Pierce The Veil, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Bon Jovi.

What inspires you to make music?

Can't explain it. I guess it's just plain passion.

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

Don't conform to standards and society's expectations; be yourself.

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

I feel calm, playful, happy, energetic... just good in general.

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

The music industry is more on money, catchy-ness and repetitiveness, and popularity nowadays. I'd like everything to go back to how it used to be - when talent, pure skill, passion, and practice was more valuable than all this.

What do you think of Drooble?

I think it's a great way to link musicians together.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

When band members can't make it to gigs, practices, or hangouts.

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

I don't know much about the local musicians here.

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

Relatable lyrics, a good voice (and/or autotune), a monotonous beat, and soundcloud.

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

Me and (in the future) my band ;)
