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

Music is a way of life, not just a companion. It brings me home, just it really does.

What is your music dream?

To hear a stranger singing my song

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

With vanishing stereotypes and prejudice

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Bruce Dickinson - Tears of the Dragon

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

So many. SO MANY of them

What inspires you to make music?

Emotions. Delivering and getting back.

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

I don't feel like carrying a single message, not even like carrying a message really. I feel like music is so much more about emotions, so that's my aim - to share feelings.

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

Hoping that someone will hear me and will connect with what I do and what I bring.

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

In my country, cooperation isn't a big deal in local musician communities. That is the main thing I guess.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

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

I try to. I share live equipment to give people a chance to perform in the street and see if it's worthy.
