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

Music is an escape, an outlet for the pressures of life and humanity.

What is your music dream?

To make a living making the music i love and getting it out to people who enjoy it.

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

Well i certainly wouldn't have humans as the dominant species that is for sure.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

The Duck Song... what a banger

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

I mainly enjoy 70's prog bands, mostly Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands. Another of my favorite bands is a Japanese prog rock band called "Midas", they are really cool and you should check them out. I would start with "Beyond the Clear Air" or " Touch the Clear Air"

What inspires you to make music?

The everyday complex chaos of life, the universe and everything.

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

My lyrics can range from somewhat cryptic pondering to fictional nonsense. The message is normally subjective and something the listener should find for themselves.

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

It can be daunting, it'd be nice if most of them weren't just waiting outside smoking cigarettes or vaping because they only came to see the headliner.

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

The industry is buggered quite frankly. Not only is the market over saturated but everyone is disingenuous , i am no exception to that. We are all just clambering over each other trying to make it to the top of the hill.

What do you think of Drooble?

Dunno, only just joined. I'll give you my opinion later.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Putting in lots of work for nothing.

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

I would do but my government has grounded everyone...

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

Doesn't matter. The industry is based on luck and timing. I know plenty of really good artists who have gone no where.

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

Midas (Japanese prog rock band. Start with "Beyond the Clear Air" or "Touch the Clear Air"), Ivan Black (He creates really cool ambient/electronica music. Start with "Machines"), Myself (Obviously), Funkzilla (R.I.P. They only had the one album but it is awesome)
