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

Music is my life control device. It pumps me up or calms me down. A good melody heightens my mood while lyrics take me back to better times.

What is your music dream?

Just to inspire.

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

Introducing more music-related social media platforms as well as more festivals that unite all genres. Music is a language we all can speak.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

"In the End" - Linkin Park. Rock & rap were well blended in that album and this song basically reps my generation.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Linkin Park, Metallica, AC/DC, Five Finger Death Punch, Godsmack, Saliva, Dethklok, Imagine Dragons

What inspires you to make music?

Usually a rhythmic sound starts it off & I go from there with a melody.

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

A good jam can improve any situation.

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

I've never done it but I'd probably be too fearful

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

Fame & fortune are only bonuses. Music should be created because it's a passion.

What do you think of Drooble?

Have only been on it for under a week but it seems like the type of online watering hole a musician can actually get their careers either started or evolved.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Not a lot of feedback

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

Yup. I follow many on Twitter and try to attend some of our rock festivals

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

Hearing the musician's passion or feeling by the way the song is constructed--powerful lyrics, strong melodies and beats, and a tone that reaches out to the listener.
