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

Music prevents my head from exploding so many times. When recording a song, I just let myself go and unchain THE MULLET!

What is your music dream?

I just want my music to reach some people and maybe make a few of them smile.

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

I'm not suited to make big changes but I'd start with a higher focus on music education for our kids.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

That would be "The Psalm Of Lydia" by "Nevermore".

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

I have many but I'd like to mention Joe Satriani as a big influence here.

What inspires you to make music?

The ultimate joy I feel when someone smiles while listening to my music and watching one of my videos.

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

Stay young no matter how old you are and be a free spirit!

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

This is seriously the best feeling ever. I feel like I'm an enhanced version of myself and I completely break my chains.

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

I don't think there is something you could judge about. Just let music evolve.

What do you think of Drooble?

I'm new but so far I'm impressed and excited.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Having a down time without any inspiration. I try using it as a chance to practice more.

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

Yes, totally. I try to visit as many interesting gigs as possible and of course I buy some merch there.

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

You have to be unique which is a very hard thing today I guess.
