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

Life

What is your music dream?

Win a Grammy. Win an EGOT. Change someone's life with my music. Perform at either Coachella or Glastonbury.

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

Rally against racism and bad governance.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Bob Marley's Could You Be Loved?

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

I like a lot of people. Kanye, 50 Cent, Bob Marley, Jay Z, Nirvana, The Beetles, George Benson, Kool and The Gang, Eminem, Whitney Houston, Linkin Park... A lot. It's a long list.

What inspires you to make music?

Happenings.

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

Love. Hope. Harmony.

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

It's thrilling.

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

People are doing so much to be who they really aren't. I was one of those but not anymore. Speak your own truths. Someone needs that. They'd relate.

What do you think of Drooble?

Great outlet.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Funding. I have a lot of dreams and ideas but little funds to push.

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

Yea. I pay for shows. I don't get songs illegally. I buy merch.

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

Honestly? Be in the news. Have funding. These days, it ain't about talent. Talent is just a bonus.

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

Zinny. You might have heard of her. Gotheeq too.
