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

well, I have schizophrenia, so it gives me an outlet to let out my craziness in a constructive way!

What is your music dream?

i'd like to write at least 500 songs in my lifetime.

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

Malaria.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

I sorry, I don't remember my childhood well enough. maybe 'above all' it's a jesus song lol

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Taylor Swift

What inspires you to make music?

I'm mostly inspired by the infinite possibilities.

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

That you can make something different or weird that may not be popular and just do you

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

I enjoy it. I prefer doing karaoke to performing my original music in most cases, though

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

I think it's better as a hobby for all but the most talented people. I think people could sell a lot more songs if they charged $0.25 a song or $3 an album especially if they are underground artists.

What do you think of Drooble?

I think it's unfortunate that more people don't use it but am glad that it exists

What frustrates you most as a musician?

trying to get fans is frustrating as heck. Especially when you dont write normal music

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

I got to karaoke and some open mics, but I dont go to shows. im on disability so I can't really afford it.

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

it's more about perseverance and having tough skin. before I was disabled I used to get like 3-400 plays a day of my VERY terrible song just by marketing myself for free using social networks (myspace).

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

I honestly am kind of lame and mostly only know famous artists. Larry Nix is a really good musician from my area.
