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

Music to me is the essence of life. It is a universal language to all living things. It gives me comfort, peace, joy, love, and well being. Music soothes the soul.

What is your music dream?

My music dream would be to have one of my original songs recorded by a known artist and hear it played on the air.

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

I'd start with the United States where I live which is in deep turmoil right now. There is chaos everywhere, but most importantly is the slaughter of innocent school children who are being slaughtered because of the rampant use of guns in this country. This was unheard of when I was a child attending school. The most trouble we faced was getting caught with pea shooters! :-/

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Most memorable song is " You Are My Sunshine." My Grandmom used to sing it to me while sitting on her knee. It actually brought me to tears, and still does to this very day.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

That one's easy, The Beatles. They influenced me the first time I heard them and I have been playing music and singing ever since.

What inspires you to make music?

There are plenty of inspirations to make music, past experiences, future dreams, emotions, lost or gained love, world events, etc. The list goes on.

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

That question is too vague. I believe the message changes as you grow in your music.

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

I feel exhilarated, happy, in my element.

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

Each musician is different based on their own lives. Not sure how that could be improved.

What do you think of Drooble?

I'm new to Drooble but loving it so far. Glad to have found it, and thank Melina Krumova for creating it.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Dry spells where I can't seem to come up with fresh ideas. That and having a hard time playing guitar due to arthritis in my hands.

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

I often go to see friends bands perform at local venues.

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

They have to have ear catching material first of all, and be extremely persistent and believe in themselves.

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

No way of knowing who someone has heard of, but artists previously unknown to me are, The Saw Doctors, Ed Sheeran, The Weeklings.
