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

Music to me gives me more freedom than the Freedom of speech, my escape from the world, my drug. Without music, I could never see the world being connected fully.

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

Less bombs and guns, more pits!

too many to count :') but the first song I heard back in the day was Meatloaf, paradise by the dashboard light

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

I have quite few, Alesana, Pantera, Megadeth, Motorhead, BFMV, three days grace, breaking benjamin, the list goes on :P

What inspires you to make music?

my inspirations to make music is that music is a more understanding voice to let your emotions out, Feel sad? grab a guitar. feel angry? Blast beat the drums. Feel happy? get the lyrics written down :)

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

My messages behind my music can be related to anything, Hellbournes song - Heretic, aims to open our eyes to the corruptive governments. another song by us, Darkness, is like a window into a mind of someone suffering from Anxiety.

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

Like there couldn't be any place better, the venue is my church, the stage is my alter :P

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

Musician's realities can differ. Some of us play for fun, some of us want to share our skills, some just love the adrenaline of playing live, what i would improve, is that we need more local band supports. more venues

What do you think of Drooble?

Drooble is a Family! One Big, family, full of musicians, full of the fans! There's no where else a musician should be :P

What frustrates you most as a musician?

lack of space to put my drum kit! :')

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

I get around my local scene as much as I can, help get names out, help design merchandise, get their music videos on my channel. I'm just happy to help as much as I possibly can :D

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

The qualities most artists should have now, in order to be heard by a larger audience, is the belief in themselves. without that self confidence, without that self belief, how will any of us get anywhere we want to be?

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

Depends on what kind of bands you're talking about? I'd name Insanity beach from the Wirral, hope that helps :P
