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

Music...man to say it has an impact on my life would be an understatement. I need rhythm. And it's not often supplied to me, so I have to make it for myself. Whether it's beatboxing, improvising on my guitar, or trying to make music on FL Studio, it's constantly with me. Music is basically my life.

What is your music dream?

My music dream is to perform to huge crowds of people. I don't care how!

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

The violence. To be able to put a smile on someone's face and a sparkle in their eye and happiness in their heart.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Panda Eyes was really the first introduction I had to the world of electronic music. So I'd say Panda Eyes - Lightbreaker.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

I really, really like Martin Garrix. I also love me some David Guetta and Marshmello. But aside from electronic music, I also like NF's music.

What inspires you to make music?

Everyone else's stories of success.

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

That it's not pleasure, or having everything you want that makes you happy. It's God, and with God you will never need anything else. I want to communicate my happiness in Him.

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

I've only ever performed in front of audience once... It was at a school recital, and I was playing guitar. There was--oh, I'd say 80 or so people there. I got up there, and wasn't nervous at all for my guitar part. It was the singing. Anyways, I got up there, did my song, and received SO many compliments afterwards, it was incredible! Everyone was talking about me, I was the hit of the recital!

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

A musician really has to have a WHOLE lot of assets to be successful...I want to change that, somehow, some way.

What do you think of Drooble?

It's amazing! I was looking for a community of musicians, and this supplied it.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Being stuck, and not wanting to make music is always frustrating and makes me feel very unproductive.

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

I don't really, no. Matter of fact, I don't even know what that means...

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

Definitely a strong sense of humility. That their music doesn't have to be heard, and they don't have to be famous. Just making music for the sake of making music.

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