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

The inspiration of the song is everything. Whether I listen or create. It must take you some place or alter your consciousness or have a specific intent or purpose. I love well painted lyrics. I like vibes that evolve and elevates your soul. Genres do not matter to me except for discussion purposes. I release some songs - not for notoriety but for the message and it's importance. I am readying to release 'popular' style records. I believe a song itself can be destined for greatness while others are destined for for one set of ears only. Sound is the most powerful force in the Universe and should be treated as such. It can literally move mountains and shape the future as well.

What is your music dream?

To release some labour of loves as well pursue the the #1 hit song.

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

It can only change through love and not hate. Music IMO should express this. I also understand there is a place for venting and frustration in song.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Venus, My Shining Love

The list is too long... so I will mention some off the beaten path ones: Spiral Starecase, Steam Powered Giraffe, Leonid & Friends, Frida Winsth, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Buckinghams, Panic@Disco, Avicii, Peter Sarstedt, Judy Collins, Pete Seeger, Classics IV, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, the Mersey Beat bands and of course all the great songwriters.

What inspires you to make music?

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

Love - Hope - & great entertainment

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

Mind Blowing.

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

Musicians are real cool now a days. I think overall they have a clear perception of what it going on. I would think that there perception of the music industry as a whole is a bit off generally off though when it comes to online platforms. Hit songs are what allows a musician/artist to do what they do full time. In order to have exposure they need to know the theory of streaming, publishing, etc. I think they are confused about this many times - but in order to understand it they meed the basic theory of algorithms and SM platforms...

What do you think of Drooble?

So far I enjoy it.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Not much. Today we can do it all. It is up to us where we want to go.

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

Yes. I keep a little involved in supporting local acts many by offering knowledge.

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

Understand and define their audience - and where they are. And understand SEO.
