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

Music is a form of expression that transcends words. I find it much easier to express my feelings through a ballad guitar solo rather than talking about them.

What is your music dream?

"Dream" is a term that I really dislike. Dreams are just that, dreams. They are not meant to come true. I've got a goal, not a dream. That goal is to form/join a rock band and rock the world. That's all there is to it.

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

By changing myself for the better. That's all I can do.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

That's a tough one. I'm stuck between "My Immortal" from Evanescence and "Sweet Child O Mine" from Guns N Roses. The music and lyrics from My Immortal truly speak to my heart while the guitar Solo from Sweet Child O Mine is amazing on many levels and I still love it after so many years.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Guns N Roses, BB King, Slipknot, Metallica, Evanescence, Green Day, I could really go on for a while.

What inspires you to make music?

Mostly the endless possibilities of creation and the ability to express myself through it.

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

Not sure if you can call that a message. I want to express myself through music and have other people relate to my feelings, my stories. I want to help you through difficult times and to keep you company on happier ones.

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

Too early to say that. I never had the chance to perform for more than a group of 5 people at once.

What do you think of Drooble?

I'm still new here so I can't say much about it. I like the general idea behind it for sure.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Ignorant people! People who are going to tell you things like: "Get a real job, get a backup plan, oh you wanna live as a musician? Tough life. Musicians are lazy, you do nothing but stay on your butt all day and you get paid for it, other people have it tougher than you." And stuff like that.

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

First things first, high quality music. If you can't create a nice music track, then you are not going to get a crowd.

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

"Hands Off Gretel" is a band that not too many people know and I think that they are highly underrated.
