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

Music is the creative spark that moves you forward, it is the flame that burns within you when you need warmth and the ice when you need chill. Music is key to unlocking the joy of life itself and the very reason for being. Music IS life.

What is your music dream?

I dream of the reclusive life, a farmhouse in a remote part of Southern France, with my own large studio, just making music, having BBQ's every night, drinking copius amounts of red wine and seeing out my life with the lady I love and our cat family ?

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

Get rid of the plebs that do nothing but cause anguish and bad feeling in our society!

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

The Saturday Gigs by Mott The Hoople

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Tom Petty, Bob Seger, David Bowie, Mott The Hoople, The Eagles, Martina McBride, The Beatles, this list could be endless.

What inspires you to make music?

Everything!

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

My music sends messages of the varying moods we all face across the ups and downs of our lives

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

Hot and sticky!

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

More smaller live venues, more 'intimate gigs' by bigger artists, more help and funding to develop new and interesting artists and bands, whatever their age, race or genre.

What do you think of Drooble?

It should be free!

What frustrates you most as a musician?

People's lack of willingness to listen to new music. I have thousands of social network followers who take part in all kinds of debates and comments, yet if I post my music, nobody listens, and it's not because it isn't good ?

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

I go to pubs and watch new live talent

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

Learn how to promote themselves on blogs, vlogs and social networks it would seem!

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