Story

Just a guy that makes music. I’m interested in modern instrumental type genres like electronic, jazz, post-rock, ambient, and noise. I have the occasional weakness for more experimental types of folk or acoustic rock, and always enjoy hearing some classical flamenco guitar. My main tool of choice is Native Instruments “Machine”. Otherwise I will be playing guitar.

A soundtrack to whatever I’m doing at the time. It can make or break a moment, and sometimes it can triggers memories of specific times, activities, and places.

What is your music dream?

I have no musical dreams.

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

whatever helps the most people.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

U2 - “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for”. it was the first song I ever really heard when my brother and I found our parents cassettes around age 5.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Tycho, Do Make Say Think, Led Zeppelin, Gold Panda, Radiohead.

What inspires you to make music?

Travel, Boredom, Weed.

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

Music doesn’t need vocals to be enjoyable.

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

Indifferent.

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

Strange and Difficult. It’s all been done, and touring is super competitive.

What do you think of Drooble?

A music social network is good idea, the world needed a new type of music app. The only downside is that many musicians are very self deprecating and insecure, which leaves the main feed looking more like a message board for depressed songwriters seeking pity or fishing for compliments..

What frustrates you most as a musician?

The time commitment.

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

Small town, not much of a scene

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

A catchy song, and expert social media marketing skills. Confidence helps, nobody likes a whiner. Sing about sex and drugs, everybody loves those things ;)

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