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

I think it's like a personal challenge... Almost like trying to be better than what you do know or what you know you can be.

What is your music dream?

I just want to make music and change the world, almost being an influence you know/ a role model almost..

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

I get people to stop the f****** hate and just pick up a blunt. maybe, I don't know watch a movie?...

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

I think the most memorable song for my childhood had to be...i think...either everybody down from Nonpoint or Ride the Lightning from Metallica. wait a minute, I'm lying! it's frantic from the st. Anger album. I think THAT'S definitely the most memorable Because I used to hit trash cans like drums, so hearing that on the album was kind of like a flashback

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Oh come on man, do you even want me to answer this question? All right I guess... get ready for some reading. So my favorite bands go a little something like this. Avenged Sevenfold, Sum 41, Five Finger Death Punch, Metallica, got to throw in a rapper so...Eminem, you got to throw in some Warped Tour bands too so...Motionless In White, Blink-182, you can also put Jamie's Elsewhere with wage war in there. The list just goes on and on

What inspires you to make music?

I am always up for like a challenge and I want to see how far I can get, Because I've always had a soft spot for music since I was young. so to say that making music would be like a dream come true is a bit of an understatement

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

I want a message for my music to say, live while you're young and just go through life without giving a single f**k. just watch over one another as if they're your own brother

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

Stage fright is no joke I think the first time I performed in front of an audience was a lip sync contest and I think I did Shepherds of fire and I didn't want to look stupid or scared little kids in the audience but then again it was just like not about it being serious. It was about Comedic fun

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

Certain music Industries are totally f***** I mean newer hip hop kind of sucks, like it's mostly auto-tune and mumbling. But the Metal Industry especially because like you don't even get royalties for your music anymore and that's like a common issue in like metal or like anything else in that genre... like it's something to really think about.

What do you think of Drooble?

10 out of 10 would probably use this again

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Writer's block! writer's block!! f****** writer's block!!! I also find it like a tad bit annoying when I'm trying to write something original and yet I sound like a second-rate Metallica mixed with Sevenfold it is just like f*** I might get sued

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

Go to the shows get the band out whenever you can wear their merge support their music just anything to get their name out there so they can hit it big

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

Is it back then was simple cuz it was just like find an audience that relates to your style of music but now it's like you need to be on social media you need to have this image of you are not a bad guy or a villain and have talent and it's just frustrating as a whole

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

Not sure if you guys have ever heard A Thousand Foot Krutch or fatal betrayal...i think there's another local band, send request or Heroes for hire being some of the more underground stuff. Beartooth, I prevail, ice Nine if you guys don't know who that is... incendiary is also a pretty cool band I saw them at NXT takeover Brooklyn I think it was?
