Music is a transparent canvas where musicians are able to communicate and relay, feelings from inside themselves (through their talent) to their listeners.

What is your music dream?

A music dream is a fantastic feeling from, "Swimming In A Sea Of Tone". Of course to the answer of, "What is your music dream?" It is to be as successful as your talent allows you to be. To keep reaching to achieve the goals you set forth for yourself. Whether it is to be a superstar, or to let your song touch one person in your listening audience. That is what my music dream is to me.

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

If I could change the world, it would start as a campaign to enlighten the people living in the world to come together in peace and harmony with music. Their is no language barrier, no color, or Nationality with music. Music is to be heard and listened too, as it fills your heart and soul with emotion.

When I perform for an audience (be it one or one thousand) every person took time from their life to be a part of my performance as a listener. When there is appreciation from the listeners it brings a joy to me, like hitting the refresh button in my soul.

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

As I become a listener, I would like to convey to other artists not to concentrate on a monetary sense of success. Every song that takes talent to produce, has a place in the hearts of many.
