What inspires you to make music?

Depends on a mood of a music. Sometimes it's jist a desire to make music from an insrument - experimenting and waiting for what will come out of this sounds... And sometimes it's just come and play in my head :-)

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

Depends on a specific music/genre. But most of times it's just a mood, expressed in a music.

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

Love it... haven't done it for more than 20 years. Missing it

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

Nowadays music becomes more 'online' (at most after COVID). And it's good sometines - 'cause it helps to widen the audience of a musician. Ever music could now be heard and find it's fans around the world. The same things happen' now in literacy, art, theater and etc. What to improve? Create and improve platforms like Drooble, wich realy decrease the space between the professional and a starter conditions of a musicians. Grand merci to Drooble team! Go ahead and make your site better every day !

What do you think of Drooble?

Awesome, excelent, geious idea! Despite some technical issues I love it and, you know, there is now real alternatives at this time. P.S.: unlink your libraries from direct links to Facebook - it's not reliable technicaly and makes Drooble unreachable if FB is down or unreachable (for example - if it is blocked in some countries).

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Ongoing music simplification - at most at pop genre. An most frustrating is that sometime it's done by professional artists and composers, which have a potential for a more qualified music.

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

I visit some concerts... but not so often - 'cause I don't often visit concerts in common. But I visited before COVID some not well known artist's concerts. And I like street musicians and performances - they can surprise you ;-)

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

Artist must be unique and natural

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