Story

I love writing, playing and performing. Music really does take me on an emotional journey when I listen to other artists songs I really like or love. I was born from a musical family on both parents sides. Passion is essential to existence. A story is best told when it is sung. Love is the key to all beauty in the universe. Without love you have nothing.

What inspires you to make music?

I love playing, writing, putting a story together and making it sound as good as possible.

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

Life is a beautiful thing. Love , dignity and honesty should be celebrated above everything.

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

I feel exhilarated, energetic and love improvising with other musicians for people that love music.

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

I see a huge change for the positive on the horizon for great Original Artists. The internet allowed music to be shared without Copyright infringement. It’s definitely time to turn that around and give the profits to the writers and Artists performing their own music. I want to see venues open up where Original music is listened to instead of people talking over the music and not paying attention.

What do you think of Drooble?

When I’m able to get these computers to upload some of my music files I’ll edit this reply. The music community seems very supportive here and I love that!

What frustrates you most as a musician?

When original Artists aren’t chosen to play for pay over a band covering music that isn’t their own.

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

I support original Artists as much as I can by going to see them when possible.

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

You’ve got to have talent and work hard at rehearsals, in the studio and connect with the audience when performing.
