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

Music is my favorite pass time, coping skill and relationship. It gives me stability and a safe space

What is your music dream?

My dream in music is to touch people the way bands like Palaye Royale and The Front Bottoms have touched me

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

I would start with the amount of hate and greed that everyone has

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

The most memorable song from my childhood would probably be Flashlight by The Front Bottoms, or Cough it Out by The Front Bottoms. I didn't start to like music until I was around 9 because the only music played for my sucked (it was country), up until my older brother showed my The Front Bottoms

What inspires you to make music?

The way that music affects me and knowing that I could have that impact really inspires me to make music.

I want to say to people "You aren't alone" and "Your emotions are valid"

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

I feel nervous at first, when there are tons of people, but then I get hyped and want to do it again

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

I think a lot of musicians think reality doesn't apply to them, and that's why we get so many musicians getting"cancled" for dumb shit

What do you think of Drooble?

I don't know too much about Drooble yet but I'm excited to use it

What frustrates you most as a musician?

The fact that people with real talent will never make it and people who just got lucky will.

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

I live in Texas, so my "local scene" is mainly country artists, and I hate country. But when bands I like come around I'll make time to see them

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