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

music for me is all about spiritual growth... it is light in the darkness when i stray out of the flow...

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

making people aware of the fact that materialism, whether economical or fundamental, has no definitively demonstrated basis whatsoever, be it scientific or otherwise, and thus that the only common ground we share is not outside of us but in the soul...

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

i recall being frightened of playing the « In the Court of the Crimson King » vinyl...

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Yes, Rush and King Crimson define for me the musical ideal to strive towards as far as rock music is concerned... that being said, if ever i am given the opportunity to work with a large ensemble, Stravinsky will be my guiding star...

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

hopefully i can inspire listeners to follow their own path without falling prey to doubt and fear...

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

it depends on the context... it may vary from bliss to utter discomfort...

What do you think of Drooble?

first day here but so far so good... nice design... and i like the philosophy of the platform...

What frustrates you most as a musician?

recording and realizing how more time i need to invest in practice...

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

i used to participate in open jams... i rarely have time for that these days...

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

faith and persistence...

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