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

To pinch a lyric "A Reason To Beleive"

What is your music dream?

That its never too late to acheive

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

Changing Myself

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Well...that's really going back a fair way...but probably from one of the early vinyl Lp's sometime in 1958...something like "Three Wheels On My Wagon"...well I was just a child!

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, ZZ Top, Ed Sheeran, Donavan, The Kingston Trio, McFly, Busted, Green Day, ...and the list just goes on...and yes even Eminem and Tiesto.

What inspires you to make music?

Story Telling

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

I hope this inspires you in someway

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

Nervous to start with then it just gets better and better as I become one with the listener

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

A really sensible way to reward musicians (especially those starting out) with some form of system that at least gives them an opportunity to do the thing they most love full time...but some would say eutopia does not exist!

What do you think of Drooble?

I am new to Drooble...but so far I really like it and think its a great platform

What frustrates you most as a musician?

I guess like any artist...never really feeling the song, the music or even both...is up to the mark...as the talent out there is immense...not just on Drooble...but out on the streets, the pubs and bars and all over the World....so many talented people

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

Yes....by going to any venues/events that are within reach (As well as financially in reach)....and supporting local musicians directly

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

The strength to believe in oneself....and to use media platforms like Drooble and even YouTube...to get their works heard.....It's not just about getting signed to labels....its about longevity of one's own music....which can also be freely shared

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

The original "Free Spirit" band.....not the one that now resides in Finland...as good as they may be....they were not the first! And one for the family the original "The Lemonade Tree" And if you have not heard of her....you should have "Mary Kathleen Burke"
