Allot of music related dreams. Having a gig with AC/DC or Marylin Manson Getting a private interview with Madonna to ask her all her secrets :D Sharing with a Huge public like Wetcher for a concert <3 Having a public's gift like Black eye peas had in Chicago.

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

Believe in your dreams, never let go of what you feel is good for you, for your soul. And... fuck... just let yourself free once in a while :p let yourself be original, unic, and still part of a greater wonder that even human imagination couldn't reach.

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

Aw-so fuckin -some ! I love sharing with a public. Seeing people lil by lil get in the bubble and forget their boring everyday life, smiling, headbanging even... how ever they feel it, as long as they "feel it" I'll feel great :p

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

Art is not respected at its real value. Artists either. People don't realise the "work" it is to compose, learn, repeat, record, prepare a song... a set of songs for a concert, for that special moment that makes them dream away totally... And the big prod only want "normolized" music... something that "sells" more than raises the soul to another level.... And Singers, in all the musicians, are the ones paying the heaviest price of marketing music with shows like "the voice " or star accademy... Try to find a gig that will pay as a singer (solo or with a musician to play along), in Belgium, there aren't any ^^

What do you think of Drooble?

Up to now seems nice :)

What frustrates you most as a musician?

please see above :)

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

I love Jam sessions ! It's where I've heard and seen the best musical moments and discovered some swell artists. I also like music amateurs festivals and contest (of course mainly rock aimed) that's where "they" all started : not known on small stages or in bars and café's ... then one day...

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

The qualities aren't about music it is about marketing : may it be contacts well placed or money to invest... the important thing once you "know" you wanna be a singer (which is my instrument) is to have a way to make yourself HEARD. you can sing like a bird... as long as your video on Youtube as only 50 hits... you won't get far. and on Youtube like Facebook and all other supports of the kind, it cost money to boost/promote/...
