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

Part time fun, part time job. Sometimes is fun, sometimes is a pain in the anus, but that happens in everything you take seriously.

What is your music dream?

As an audio engineer to work with a/several bands that make it in this tough industry. As a musician to improve as much as possible to apply it into my band and my experience in the studio.

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

ALT + F4 and start over.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Ghost Love Score - Nightwish

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Nightwish, Epica, Dream Theater, The Agonist, Metallica (not into thrash anymore but still my old favourite), Jinjer, Animals As Leaders, Avatar, TOO MANY

What inspires you to make music?

Never liked this question, so I will just say "progress and improvement"

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

Joy, anger, love; to close your mind to only ONE message is never good. Keep your self fresh and discover new styles, new messages.

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

20% nerves kicking in to perform the best as I can, 80% joy depending on how the public takes the music.

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

Its a tough reality, but there is one truth point that nobody wants to see. In the end, there is a HUGE amount of bands. You cant expect that 100% of the bands that ever created a song will make it into the industry. Only those who take it seriously have a CHANCE to make it; and a lot of luck as well.

What do you think of Drooble?

Dont know yet. Just got a msg from a friend to join. Lets see.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

The ego of MANY musicians while sharing a stage.

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

Not as much as Id like, but i try to go as much as possible to concerts and buy any item of their merch (100% of the money of merch goes to them without a record label, so in this case DEFENETLY does help if you get merch. DO IT!)

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

Easy: show the people your practice is actually working and you are getting better and better. But NEVER stop practicing; thats when you get stuck and you loose the game.

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

Dreaded Downfall, Serenity, Dragony, Daedric Tales, Nightmarcher, Squirrels with Lightsabres
