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

I'd give this a good answer if I could actually put it into words. The right music at the right time will just flow right through me and that's what I look for, feeling.

What is your music dream?

If I can make a living making music I'm proud of then life would be pretty good.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

There are quite a few, including all of Billy Talent II, and the soundtracks from NHL 06, 07, and 09 in particular.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Metallica, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, First Aid Kit, Megadeth, Gojira, Ghost, Avenged Sevenfold, and Slayer just to name a few.

What inspires you to make music?

Mostly the feeling of playing a song that just flows through you, that you don't even really have to think about to play.

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

Nothing in particular but preferably something someone somewhere can relate to.

It's like playing in your friend's basement except there are people rocking out that aren't your parents, and that makes me feel pretty good.

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

Everything is out there, you just gotta work for it to get it.

Seems neat but I'm not getting my hopes up too high.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

People with a shit attitudes.

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

I go to shows every so often with the boys when it lines up, sometimes for fun, other times to scout venues or bands who might want to do stuff with us.

The willingness to drop everything when the moment comes to take a chance.
