Bio

Since I remember, Im a huge music fan. And when I started to experience the 80s hard rock, I fell in love with that kind of music. I really, really liked the high vocal range of Axl Rose and I wanted to sing into that vocal range. I started to play guitar about seven years ago and Im still trying to get better and better on my instruments :)

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

Music is everything to me. Literally. It gives me strenght, enlightness, focus... all that I need. Music is my life.

What is your music dream?

My dream is to play on Wembley Stadium, in front of thousands and thousands of people who enjoy my music. I want to share my music to the whole universe!

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

On this days, all around is telling you to hate people. I would like to tell all people out there that, the first step to change the world, is share love to everyone.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

I guess Breaking the law-Judas Priest

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Helloween, Sixx:A.M., Skid Row, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Megadeth, Fall Out Boy, Foo Fighters, even My Chemical Romance lol

What inspires you to make music?

Give strenght to the weak, give courage to the fearful, give love to erase all of that hate... Share a message through lyrics and music.

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

You can do everything you want. Fight for it. Don't give up. If many others did it, why wouldn't you make your dreams come true?

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

It's always FANTASTIC... Even when there's only two people listening to you, it's satisfying to watch them enjoying your music!

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

Nowadays, in my opinion, all the singers wanna sing like their idols. I think that helps a little bit, but, what's the point of sharing something that the world has already heard before? I think that maybe they should find their own style of singing or playing.

What do you think of Drooble?

I think that is something that would happen eventually, and I am so satisfied with this social network for musicians. You can found talent everywhere, literally. Drooble makes you recover your faith in music!

What frustrates you most as a musician?

I hate when inspiration does not come at the writing process, and on the scenario, when I feel I could do better, but I dont.

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

I guess there is no local scene on my streets, maybe there is one on my city, but I dont like it, everybody wants to play the same genre... I like diversity over a bunch of bands who are afraid of playing something different.

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

Perfectionism, talent, passion, love for the music and the fans.

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

Gaston Jauregui. He is a mexican, just like me, and he is one of the greatest singers that I have ever heard on my country. Very underrated musician/writer.
