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

Music to me is like oxygen. It allows me to breathe.

What is your music dream?

I just want to play live and make living doing it. I don't care about fame or huge fan base. I just want to play and if I touch people or they are inspired by something I sing or play, great.

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

Caring about others

One Tin Soldier

What inspires you to make music?

To be honest, I guess bad times or controversy

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

There is hope, love and inspiration

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

To be honest, I feel nervous, scared mixed with adrenaline and hope, excitement and love.

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

The reality of most musicians is probably not that different than the past. It all depends on popularity. It rarely has anything to do with pure talent. It has to do with a fan base. Do people like you? Do you speak to them? The songs you are singing have to speak to people. I think poets who sing will ultimately be the biggest winners. This has always been the way of music. Do you have something to say that is worth putting into music?

What do you think of Drooble?

So far, it has been an encouraging venue for me as I am not technicologicaly savvy, but I like the encouragement that I am getting from o obviously super talented musicians. I can't hold a candle to them and they are being encouraging to me so that is helpful to my ego and getting me to continue making music.

I try to....I feel I could do better.

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