What inspires you to make music?

The enjoyment of rehearsing for hours, then finally getting it right.

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

Don't forget song roots. Hip-Hop is everywhere but real music played on real instruments should be preserved. That's my aim.

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

Terrified!

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

It's a great shame that sound samples are the preferred method to create music. I personally favour the real thing, usin real instruments.

What do you think of Drooble?

It's certainly different to what I've been using.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

The effort that real musicians put in, to master an instrument. Then someone else can load a few samples to get the same sound.

No I'm retired so don't get out much.

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

Confidence in their music that will be good enough to be appreciated by audiences.
