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

Everything, my biggest love in life..

What is your music dream?

To be able to reach out to people all across the globe with my music, and be able to keep the passion for it for as long as I live.

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

Erase borders and get people to be more open to one another.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Staiway To Heaven, my dad always played Led Zeppelin in our home.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Too many to mention, but I must say Bon Iver, Matt Corby, Sam Fender & Rival Sons

What inspires you to make music?

Everyday life and emotions. Usually i just have a certain feeling and sit down with my guitar.

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

That it's okay to talk about how you feel, and let others know.

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

Always a little nervous, but I believe that the day I stop being nervous is the day I stop caring about what I do, so it's more that it's necessary to be nervous.

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

I think it just gets harder and harder for aspiring musicians to live out their dream, people don't attend to enough concerts and buy enough merch/records unfortunately.

What do you think of Drooble?

It's a great platform for musicians to gather and share thoughts.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

As much as i love writing music, it can be devastating. Once your stuck, everything can seem rotten.

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

I try to attend to as many gigs as I can, and always praise those who deserve it and work hard enough.

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

A passion for what they do. If you're just out to be famous and earn money then you're not doing it right. Your music deserves every bit of your attention if you want to succeed.

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

Well there are many, but my top three must be Albin Lee Meldau, Buster Moe, and Jesper Lindell.
