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

Depends on what I'm playing or writing about. The message is in the song, you have to truly listen.

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

Great and terrified at the same time.

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

Everyone is divided by norms and rules created by man. Preferences that people shove into other people's throat. How you make or play your song is up to you, Respect the right of other people and if you must criticize, be constructive. I was taught to not hate on peoples tracks because it is prejudistic to do so, so I believe to be curious about various things about the music and if I don't like something, I walk along.

It's social media for artists in the music industry. It's awesome.

The biology of the body specifically the ears limits the time I can work in a studio.

I hope I do, I actually train young or starting artists. I do this because I know how it feels and I do it in honor of my late instructor/2nd parent in one of my music classes.

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

Good ears, fundamental musical skills, dedication and passion for music, not the fame and money that goes with it.
