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

Music to me is peace of mind, finding that sweet spot between chaos and calm, that's where my sound thrives, no one is making the music I want to hear, a sound that fits in but somehow stands out, something timeless and non explicit, to not cut out any audiences, everyone should be able to experience it and fell something. Music is a channel for feelings, hopefully you tune in.

What is your music dream?

To ease as many stressed minds and offer direction, and when I get a bigger platform, affect the world in a positive manner and break what is considered the norm right now.

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

The state of the music industry, artists influence a lot of people, start with that, influence artists to make wiser decisions and the general masses will follow. that is on the music side, for world matters I would do all I can to better as many lives, whether it's working with charities or just checking in on people, the little things matter the most.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Welcome Home You - Brian Littrell

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Frank Ocean Solange Tame Impala Playboi Carti Sean Leon Travis Scott Childish Gambino The Weeknd Brent Faiyaz Michael Jackson

What inspires you to make music?

Life and experiences, it's the best way I express myself, whether it's about relationships, family, struggles, pain, music covers all of it.

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

It's alright to not get everything 100% right, learn from your mistakes and don't be afraid to experience.

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

I feel most at home on stage, my supporters to me are like extended family, whether it's a slow song and we're all vining or they are losing their minds to the bass bumping, it's a shared feeling.

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

Stop giving artists recognition off of one single, see how they thrive making a sustainable body of work, or their catalogue. There are too many one hit wonders these days.

What do you think of Drooble?

It's LIT!

What frustrates you most as a musician?

When popularity overpowers music quality, it's very unfortunate, especially meme songs.

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

I share almost all other artist that make valuable content in my area, we support each other because we all want to make it together.

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

A likeable personality, be open to interaction with anyone, these days supporters want to be able to say that they love an artist outside of music and words in songs, live what you preach and be the light in a dark age.

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