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

Music captures a universal emotion that moves someone and goes where words can't. It gives me escape from the mundane and takes me into a place where I forget about the world and it's problems.

What is your music dream?

I'm already living it since I have no day job and am doing music full-time, however, I would like to go on tour with a big name Country Act at least 3 times per year.

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

I would start with trying to get people to understand that we may not all agree on everything, but we can love those around us and let the hatred go.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

There are so many I can't really pin point one that sticks out more than any others.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

The Beatles did a whole lot of things first so they are among my top! Besides them, Brad Paisley, because he's got clever songs and can play the guitar like a Rock Star!

What inspires you to make music?

Things I hear and see mostly. I'll get an idea from someone saying something or something I say in response to something. I've always got my "radar" out!

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

I want to bring people back to knowing what good music is mostly! I'm trying to lead by example, and the message I'm trying to send is..."This is what good music sounds like." It's not full of cliches, the same old "stock" melody, or the same idea said differently! It's new, it's fresh, and yet it still resonates.

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

Better than any other time in day to day life.

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

I don't understand the question. Please clarify.

What do you think of Drooble?

It's in interesting site! It depends on how many people respond to me on here vs any other social media site. I guess it remains to be seen since I just signed up today!

What frustrates you most as a musician?

That money seems to be the only way to achieve massive, household name success. Unless you have millions of dollars, a record deal is unattainable!

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

Not the way I should. I'm always working on me as an Artist and trying to get more shows and improving my craft.

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

Most of all a HARD WORK ETHIC as well as persistence! I work nonstop from the time I get up on bookings, learning more songs, writing more songs, and promoting current shows and schedules!
