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

Music is the only thing that is truly honest in this world, because it does not know how to lie and if it tries to do it you would love it or not for trying, but it will never fooled you if you truly listen to it.

What is your music dream?

Satisfy listeners that like the same music I like.

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

Erradicate fear.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Wow, I always liked to listen a lot of music, there is no number one in my head, just the next number one of the week. But, maybe, Bastian's Happy Flight, from the Neverending Story movie.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

The Beatles, John Williams, Charly García and Chopin, because most of what they do or did, I liked it.

What inspires you to make music?

Wanting to hear something beautiful of my own taste without having to wait to find it somewhere else. So, anxiety, really. Lol

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

That is not too important to be the best instrument or vocals player, neither the best composer, the important thing is not choosing the correct notes to play, they actually never existed, there is no such a thing as the right notes, instead the main focus should be always to reach the right keys on the people that are listening to what you are doing so they can open the music doors by themselves, so for a brief momment they can play music with their minds. So, basically, message is simple: it's never too late to start.

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

Like I'm too worried about doing things right at one go, so I won't be able to enjoy the momment and that will make the performance a lot worse, because if I don't enjoy it, no one will.

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

A musician's reality is a very wide question, there are many types of musicians, so there are as many realities as there are musicians out there. What could be improved? Well, it would be nice if people would practice music as a kids until they get the basics, so they could learn to tell musicians apart from one another and finally choose what they like about them and not fall under what producers are counting they would like because of the way they live, far a way from trying it by themselves.

What do you think of Drooble?

Hope it works! Looks really nice!

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Doing things I think are amazing and getting a feedback from friends or family or other people that have no idea what I just did.

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

By giving the best feedback I can manage to come up with when I can and remembering the keys other artist reach on me and try to keep myself open to "spread the word, or feeling" if the opportunity arrives.

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

Have a very respectful and humble actitud towards the work of others and it's own, so other people would find him/she open to work with them in a bigger project.
