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

Music is everything. Whatever that means.

What is your music dream?

My ultimate dream is to start a band and be able to live off of our music.

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

I would help everyone find their purpose. If you're happy, you're gonna make others happy, therefore making the world a happy place. But I don't believe you can find that happiness if you don't find a purpose in life.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

I Was Made For Loving You by KISS. Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Too many to name them all. But a short lost would include Muse, Radiohead, Michael Jackson, David Bowie and The Killers.

What inspires you to make music?

Everything.

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

I just want people to know their not alone. There are weirdos spread all over the world and we're all feeling the same unexplainable feelings you're feeling right now. I want people to have a safe place.

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

Free. I never feel as myself as I do when I'm performing.

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

Music is dying. People are making only music to earn money. Most of today's popular music has no substance. We need to encourage and support musicians that do this because of their love for music.

What do you think of Drooble?

Looks pretty good!

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Not being able to say what I'm thinking with my instruments. And seeing so many people dying over artists that sing about partying and getting laid. Stop it.

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

I go to local restaurants to check out the bands that are performing.

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

Substance and something that makes them stand out.
