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

'Music' to me gives me so much 'Pleasure' and also others. It plays a very 'Big Part' of our 'World' so it does.

What is your music dream?

I just like to make others 'Enjoy' what I make.

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

I would certainly make sure there is no 'Homelessness' for starters, plus make sure any 'Offender' who did a very 'Serious Crime' is put away for a very long time, plus try and stop 'Poverty' and others. Basically try and make things better instead of worse.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

'Erasure - A Little Respect' it has to be. First heard it back about 1989, and it is so 'Catchy' as heck, it became a instant fave, and still is till this day.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

There is so many to choose from. Well, I enjoy lots of '80's Synthesizer Based Music' so I do, since I grew up hearing that often, thanks to my Parents. I am into 'Erasure - Pet Shop Boys - O.M.D' plus others from then. Also like some '90's Techno Acts' like 'Prodigy - The Shamen - Utah Saints' and more...

What inspires you to make music?

I would say whatever is going on at the moment more or less gives me the 'Kick' to go and make something, or things from back in the day, that gave me Joy.

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

Be yourself, plus try and no sound like others out there. Make sure you stand out.

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

Have no done it in Ages. I was okay, since I knew they were liking what I was doing. As long as you make something that is Listenable, you'll be fine, plus make sure you Rehearse as well before hand...

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

'The Top 40' them days, is basically so 'Bleak' so it is. Too much 'Auto Tuned R&B' on there, and no more others Genres, like 'Indie - Rock - Dance' like it was back in the day. Should have a 'Blend' of 'Genres' so it should. Needs a 'Shake Up' and lots will agree...

What do you think of Drooble?

I am enjoying it there so I am. Plus mentioned it to others.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

I would say how Hard it can be to get noticed them days, since most are focused on 'The Top 40 Music' them days, and no really paying any attention to ones who are trying their best to get noticed. So many 'Great Musicians' out there struggling...

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

By giving them 'Feedback' plus follow them, and give them 'Advice' if they are Struggling. Nice to be Nice.

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

Just keep going at it, and never listen to any 'Criticism' or never take it to 'Heart' if you get 'Rejected' by lots. There is a 'Light At The End Of The Tunnel' so to speak.

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

'Michael J Oakley' is one definitely. He is doing very well in the 'Electronic Scene' so he is, plus is one of my Friends as well. Check him out please. You'll all no be let down.
