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

Music gives whole another meaning to my existence.

What is your music dream?

To touch as many hearts as possible,to comfort and sooth the troubled minds.

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

I'd initiate LOVE to be taught as a subject in schools,so that we learn how to love ourselves adequately and then how to correctly love others.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Bach - Prelude & Fugue No. 2 in C Minor.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Too many to list. Few of them are : Queen,Metallica,Tool,Pink Floyd,Sting,Sade and many more.

What inspires you to make music?

Movies,people,stories.

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

No particular messages...just happy to share with emotions,feelings and thoughts. I want everyone to find what they are looking for. I believe in Art which provokes spiritual growth and depth.

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

I like to perform behind the keys....I'm more comfortable performing with an instrument than I am just/only as a front person,vocalist.

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

A lot. I don't believe in vulgar lyrics,sexualized images and sexual speculation/propaganda through music.

What do you think of Drooble?

I love it ! ?

What frustrates you most as a musician?

To see many talented musicians,in need of the financial support and not being able to showcase their talent.

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

I support,share and promote work of talented musicians,as often as I can and the way I'm able to.

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

Too many. Being only determined and hard-working singer or only a pianist is by far not enough. One needs to be an audio engineer, agent,manager,makeup artist,photographer,clip-maker,stylist,athlete or a model,play several instruments,sing,write songs,and look great. lol

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