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

Pleasure. Non sexually of course. Wink. Seriously though, it makes me feel a sense of purpose. I have a message that I feel many need to hear. Those with closed minds wouldn't understand.

What is your music dream?

To have people enjoy my music and understand the message behind it.

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

The way the system works. Call me an anarchist, but at the end of the day, it's our system that cripples the power of the people.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

I'd have to say I Will Be Heard by Hatebreed. The message behind song has been relevant to my life even before I first heard it and even now.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Hatebreed, Invent Animate, Tool, Killswitch Engage, Chevelle, Deftones.

What inspires you to make music?

My journey through life.

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

To not give in to the ways of the world and the horrible things it throws at you.

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

Euphoria.

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

I believe there's too many starving artists who make real music with a strong message getting ignored. Meanwhile, garbage influencing generations to also be garbage run the music industry. We need more focus on genuine music.

What do you think of Drooble?

I will find that out later.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Finding artists with similar interests and the same level of motivation. Everyone wants to be an overnight success.

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

Yes. I go to every show that actually happens in my town. There's not many though. I want to change that.

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

Patience. Motivation. Literally all you need.
