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

Stress! LOL! But it also brings me a lot of joy too. Without people like Ray Davies to listen to, I would be lost.

What is your music dream?

To write at least one standard before I die.

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

Top 40 radio. Don't get me started...

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

"Do It Again" by The Kinks.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

The Kinks, Roxy Music, The Fixx, The Damned, Iggy Pop, Roy Orbison, The Monkees, Devo, The Clash, The Beatles, April Smith, Alex McMurray, Tom Kanach.

What inspires you to make music?

I'm nuts.

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

I just want one person to be moved by one of my songs the way good songs have moved me.

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

Scared silly.

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

Music needs to be smarter without being too damn pretentious. There seems to be no middle ground between utterly stupid and trying so damn hard to be earnest and smart that everything comes off pseudo-intellectual or pseudo-deep. I've always liked records that were clever, but didn't have to beat you over the head with it. Stuff that's kinda weird, smart and artistic, but still relatively accessible. That's what I like.

What do you think of Drooble?

Cool, so far!

What frustrates you most as a musician?

People who think commerce and art are musically exclusive, and people who think they're synonymous.

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

As much as I can! I always buy albums that my friends put out and support their projects however I can.

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

You don't have to be the best musician, just the best at being you. Figure out what your key strengths are and play to them.

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

Alex McMurray, Tom Kanach, April Smith.
