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

Music is pretty much my life since I first picked up the drums at 13. Getting a chance to play with bands or record artists is an amazing feeling to me.

What is your music dream?

I want to be recognized as an artist and be able to rely on my music to support me and my family.

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

Kicking out stupid people in power >.>

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Shoots and Ladders - Korn, it's what got me into rock music as a teen. I remember thinking how dumb it was but I just couldn't stop listening to it lol

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Atreyu, being my all time favorite. Skrillex, A Lot Like Birds, Flume, Sleeping With Sirens,

What inspires you to make music?

This question actually goes a bit deep. All my life, I have never really finished anything. I have dabbed in writing stories (Short and novels), game development, photography, art, etc. But nothing really stuck. I have a huge load of unfinished projects that I know I will never touch again. However, music is the only thing I have stuck with since I was a kid. I continued to get better and better until one day, I got signed to an Indie label. I never noticed how much passion I had for creating it until that day. It's an amazing feeling for me.

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

Just my life, basically. In every single song I've created, tells a story about either an experience I've had or feelings I'm experiencing during that time of creation.

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

Back when I was a teen, I loved it. The feeling was unmatched to anything I've ever experienced. I haven't performed since an accident, rendering me disabled but I'm hopeful I'll get a chance to do it again one day.

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

Most musicians now a days are too into the money portion of the thing. I feel like somewhere along the way, they stopped the passion that started their career in the first place and are now doing it just for publicity and fame. We should stop making idiots famous, is my thought on the subject haha.

What do you think of Drooble?

It's not too bad so far. I had a rocky start, not being able to sign in but, I've been getting some feedback and have found a few artists I really like.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

The writer's block or working with other artists that aren't in it for the music but just for the fame and perks. Essentially, meeting "artists" who do not have much passion for it as I do.

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

I try to get involved by recording local artists or promote bands around my city.

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

Good sound quality, passion, and a strong will.
