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

Music is the best way to connect with ourselves, with our most prehistoric roots. It gives me the freedom to express myself and channel different types of feelings through it, and it gives me the possibility to share what I love most with people who vibrate in my same tune.

What is your music dream?

To think about a dream would be to think of something very distant and unattainable, and the music lives with me every day, that is my dream, to be able to continue living doing what I love most. Thinking about something "impossible", I would like to be a keyboard player in Roger Waters' band.

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

I can change the world, we can all. It would begin by eradicating the hunger of the world and bringing education to the most recondite places on the planet.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

"Adios Nonino", from Astor Piazzola.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

I do not have a favorite artist or band, but if I had to choose one, it would be Pink Floyd.

What inspires you to make music?

I am inspired by the idea of continuing the legacy of music that I like the most. Everything we do is influenced by our own musical tastes, so we are only the connection between the past and the future.

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

Do what you really feel that completes you, everything else is bullshit. Do not waste your time, you only live once.

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

Accomplished.

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

In my country, Argentina, this is a real problem. The musicians are not treated with the respect they deserve, reason why many decide to go to work to other countries. Many things can improve, but we must start by valuing ourselves.

What do you think of Drooble?

Great idea with a lot of potential. Fan since day 1.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Work with people who do not respect themselves.

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

As a producer that I´m, I really like going out in search of new local bands. I'm constantly on the move and in Buenos Aires the scene is really huge, there are shows every day, everywhere.

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

You have to be authentic and be really disciplined.
