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

Music is my escape from reality. It gives me freedom to express my thoughts and emotions without being influenced by the pressures around me.

What is your music dream?

Ultimately I would love for music to be my primary career. But I am content with having a secular career and making good music. I will truly enjoy performing at festivals in and around South Africa as well as the rest of the world.

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

I would lead by example and start with myself. Its easy to point out facts that could make this world a better place. But we all just need to focus on being the best versions of ourselves. Keep growing:)

Emotions, achievements and pain.

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

Stay true to who you are. We are all different and that's OK.

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

Nervous...haha. Besides that obvious feeling, performing makes me feel accepted. I use to avoid performing out of fear of being judged. Now ironically I feel that its the only time I do not get judged.

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

Everyone has talent and the internet gives all a fair platform. Reality is that there are so many amazing songs. We need to be making music for the right reasons in order to survive. Passion will keep us going until we attain the levels we are targeting.

What do you think of Drooble?

It is honestly what I need and have been searching for. Yes we cannot go without the Insta's and FB's but this platform is a hub for us to support one another which in turn boosts us all on the platforms where followers are built. So Thanks for funding and creating this powerful tool.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

The general lack of punctuality. It is a profession after all people.

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

Yes. I attend festivals all the time. Engage online. Buy albums.

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

Honesty. People are too smart these days to fall for bullshit stories. Just be real. Wear your heart on a sleeve and people will accept you.
