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

Music is what gets me through life. Music puts me to sleep and it gives me a reason to wake up. Music restores my self-esteem. Music leads me to love. Music teaches me who I am.

What is your music dream?

To have the equipment and space to record the songs I've heard in my mind and heart my whole life.

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

I would like us all to have no fear of death.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

"This will be the day that I die" - I couldn't believe someone would write that into a song. I couldn't believe you could even talk of death in a song.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Queens of The Stone Age has been the most influential to me, personally.... All major classic rock artists such as Pink Floyd, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Janice Joplin, etc... they hold the key to my heart! Though I also enjoy music from every genre ever created.

What inspires you to make music?

An insatiable drive that I was born with and have never lost, thankfully. Life. Pain. Love. Lust. Injustice.

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

We are here to create the life of our dreams and we cannot let the visions and opinions of others convince us otherwise!

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

I feel like I'm getting love and attention I never had in my life. I feel I am with my family. I feel I am most alive.

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

Musicians reality is one of severe poverty, loneliness and struggle. If venue owners actually valued real musicians rather than paying folks with autotune and no talent to grace their stages... If more families would nurture children with musical talent rather than punishing them- that would be helpful.

What do you think of Drooble?

So far, I like it.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Not having access to equipment I need.

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

When I am around enough to enjoy a local scene, if I can't make it to a show, I will at least promote them and do what I can to spread the word.

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

Marketing, advertising, style and art skills baby. That or you better hire someone.
