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

To me music is everything, I couldn't imagine life without it. What it gives to me is peace. When I'm in a bad mood or sad music makes me happy and when I make music it gives me a purpose in this world. Then being able to share my music in hopes of making someone else's day makes it all worth it.

What is your music dream?

To be able to make music that makes other people happy and to be able to inspire others. If someone was to say to me that I inspired them to go after their dream of making music because of hearing my music then that would mean the world to me.

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

Empathy. If everyone in the world could understand and relate to each other better I think the world would be a better place. One of my favorite sayings is "treat others how you would want to be treated." Not enough people think that way and it's a huge problem in this world.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Britney Spear's whole first album. I used to play it on repeat all day everyday.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Lana Del Rey and Amy Winehouse are two of my favorite artists and inspirations.

What inspires you to make music?

I make music in the hopes of inspiring others to do the same and in hopes of making someones day better simply by them just listening to one of my songs.

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

If you have a dream then go for it!

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

I haven't performed in front of an audience yet, stage fright is a horrible affliction I battle with everyday.

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

Nowadays so many musicians are doing everything by them self, the industry has changed so drastically. I wish there were more people out there who were able to help guide musicians in the right way without charging an arm and a leg. Music shouldn't just be about making money or about looking the part, it should be about talent and determination and creativity.

What do you think of Drooble?

From what I have seen so far I love it. I haven't been on the site very long but I already have a song on the top 50 playlist and for that I am so grateful.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

The most frustrating thing about music is how hard it is to be heard, to get exposure, and how hard it is to find the right people to collab with.

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

I am always on the lookout for artists from my current city and hometown. Supporting local artists is vital to discovering the next big thing.

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

Don't be afraid, you have to get out there and make connections. You never know who you might be talking to and how they can help you.
