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

I prefer not to answer this.

What is your music dream?

To play good music for as many people as possible.

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

Live shows :), Inspiring people to pursue music as a career.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Wonderful Tonight.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Blues Men :D

What inspires you to make music?

Anything, Anywhere :)

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

Responsible.

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

Today's so called "popular" musicians should not exist. Not every popular music is good. People should know what they are listening to. A basic knowledge of music is necessary.

What do you think of Drooble?

Awesome platform to connect and share with other artists.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Not getting any inspiration sometimes :P

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

Nope. All pop cultured. Although Kolkata is still good as compared to other places.

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

EDM, Pop, Bullshit. Being popular doesn't define anything about your creativity. I am no good, but the kind of music which is popular today doesn't say anything good going on as well. People are looking for more famous stuff, rather than going for good stuffs (40s - 80s era of blues, rock n roll, hard rock, psychedelic rock etc)

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

Dimitris Lesini. More of an arranger. Not many people know this guy.
