Music is the air that i breath.

Playing in small towns on tour across the country.

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

I'd try to heal the political hate that separates so many people in the world.

What inspires you to make music?

The need to express emotion with sound.

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

I want the listener to become part of what I'm doing.

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

Like getting everyone involved in the groove.

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

I've spent a lifetime chasing it, found it was always there with me.

What do you think of Drooble?

Good idea, hopefully, the interaction aspect of the site will lead to a rousing success. I've been a part of many music communities in the past. To be successful you've got to get it past just people posting their music saying look at me. When we can learn from each other and share in the music there is something to gain. I've charted on various websites around the world such as mp3.com.au when it was still running, internet music charts are cool, but they really tell little about the music. It's more a web traffic thing. So never judge your music on a chart position online.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

When I cannot play because of work or other life responsibilities.

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

I've always been involved in my local music scenes when there was one to be a part of.

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

Let the music speak for itself.

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