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

Music and art in general is a need to me. It gives me the possibility to conect with all kind of people at the same time we are vibrating on the same page. Music makes feel stronger and happy.

"Libre" de Nino Bravo.

What inspires you to make music?

The sadnees, the happines, and the need to flow and connect with someone else.

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

I don't have messages to send because my songs are a expression of the disorder and passion that I had in my life.

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

All the concerts are different. I enjoy when I can flow, when the time seems to desappear. When I get that, the energy in the place is amazing.

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

I think this time is good because the tecnology could make the things easier and more people can create and release their music. The problem is that now there is an ocean and you don't have a map or path to follow. The current is changing all the time. I think after you made your artist work begin the time you need to be smart and make a plan or designe an strategy to grow up your career. Nobody has the answer but today there are a lot of answers, you can chose one of them.

What do you think of Drooble?

I like it, we needed a social network like this. I am in the same team that all of you, we love music. To improve Drooble we need more people here. You can count on me if the team need some help from Argentina.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

The luck of money to make the beast recordings I could make and the music market. I am not listening good new music today. The same mediocre thing all over again. The industry is not paying attencion in the quality and is repeating formulas. Someone here said: "it's all about one hit wonder".

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

Spreading the word in social networks and working in the Asociation of musicians (AMI) in my town.

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

I am trying to find the anwer to that question :). I don't have the formula, depends. Handsome + Be young + Record Label + Daddy's money + Good Song + Best Producers = There are some chances. Or: Talent + Carisma + Good Albums + Goog producers + A lot of effort + Pacience + Smart strategy + Be yourself + Be a fighter in life = Succes, because you did everything. Something awesome always come if you do your best.
