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

The best way to express myself, also the best way to relax, is to put on a good record, and just turn the brain off.

What is your music dream?

To be able to perform in front of thousands of people with my own music, while sending my message to the people.

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

I'd campaign about the importance of one's mental health.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

The Only by Static-X

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Static-X, Slipknot, Linkin Park, Korn, Rise Against

What inspires you to make music?

I want to send a message to the people in need.

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

Is that you're never alone, no matter how hard the situation you're in is.

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

I feel blessed, and really alive.

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

The whole music "industry" is flawed. I'd care more about the art itself, instead of the ability to sell a product.

What do you think of Drooble?

It's a great platform to reach out to people/promote.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

It's really hard to get your music "out there"

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

I used to, when I lived in my home country, we've been organizing events/concerts, but since I moved (also bc of the pandemic), I have no real way to support the scene.

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

I think the most important thing is being unique, and artistic. Technicality is also important for the right crowd, but I don't think art should be about skill.

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

Phrenia, Subway, Sequence, Senshi, Marcell Roncsák.
