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

Music is the vibrations and frequencies in which no language is needed. It is a feel, a vibe, a beat that moves people emotionally and physically. Like love, it is understood universally.

What is your music dream?

Somebody like my stuff to the point they or I use it at a live event, weather it be WWE into or half time at the superbowl. However... if I made enough to buy a nice house in San Diego, i'll take that... that will work.

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

No comment, Next Question.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Tough one... so many to list. No Comment, Next Question.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Sevendust, Hatebreed, Hair Bands (pretty much all), Machine head, Aaron Lewis, Jewel.

What inspires you to make music?

The noises in my head and my limited physical ability/skill to play them.

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

just dig it that is all, next question.

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

Don't know, haven't. scared and don't fuck up will probably be the feeling.

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

MTV is gone, Music in schools are greatly reduced... it needs to be reborn and adjust to the modern world.

What do you think of Drooble?

Different, A great idea, not perfect but seeks to adjust and promote the best it can. I don't think they should deem two of my songs out of their guideline criteria because I have no drums or signer in my songs.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

limited time to play

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

YES! See shows, help support my favorites and friends.

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