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

Music is the expression of our soul.

Elevating the careers of musicians, touring, songwriting, making music videos, and putting on a show anywhere it is demanded.

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

A song.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Taal Se Taal Mila (Bollywood song)

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Jeff Buckley, Balkan Beat Box, Nirvana, (insert endless list here)

What inspires you to make music?

Pent up emotions.

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

Keep on keepin' on.

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

Alive.

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

I see the reality of musicians as being more open now than ever. It used to be that a musician needed to seek validation from labels. That may not have been eliminated, but it definitely has diminished. It is difficult to say since the industry is consistently evolving, however, it seems the control is shifting from the commercial world to the independent. Music has become more available, more voices are being heard, and the audience truly holds the power. Independent artists are prophets with the ability to influence the masses. However, there is still a disconnect with the technological world and the ability to connect to someone on a human-to-human level. I would like to be able to filter through the chaos that has become the interweb, and that is where Drooble has come to the rescue.

What do you think of Drooble?

A game changer.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Not being able to always share music in person.

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

Yes. Chicago has a massive metal scene. I go to local shows, buy march and share local music online.

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

The ability to be vulnerable yet fearless at the same time.

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