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

Music is passion, music is life: Imagin | Invoke | Inspire!

What is your music dream?

To watch others enjoy and dance to my music ... DANCE WITH ME!

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

I'd start with human emotion through music. Most people connect to music and it can help one Imagine Invoke and Inspire

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

As a child of the 80s it is hard for me to pinpoint a single song that has been memorable - there are so many to chose from.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Erasure, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Yello, Human League, Cyndi Lauper, Yazz, Billy Ocean, Shannon, Prince, U2, Madonna, Phil Collins, Def Leppard, Wham!, Journey, Tina Turner, The Cure, Culture Club, Peter Gabriel, Eurythmics, The Cars, Pat Benetar, Fleetwood Mac, Tracy Chapman, Pet Shop Boys, Kenny Loggins, Tears for Fears, Men at Work, A-Ha!, PM Dawn, KLF

What inspires you to make music?

The connection it brings to human emotion. I love being able to make one feel something within them when they listen to my music.

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

Life is short, you only get one ... so live to the fullest and DANCE A LOT.

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

I love witnessing the crowd come alive to my music as they dance freely like no one is watching.

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

Today's musicians have conformed comfortably into a box that results in repeating disappointments - they should learn to break out of that box of conformity by revisiting musics history and finding a way to learn from it and help inspire them to do something different / unique.

What do you think of Drooble?

I just joined so the little bit I've experiences is a bit frustrating. I've never seen a site that hinders the artist from growth by placing limitations throughout the site.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

How difficult it is to gain a new fan. The work , time and money spent into it simply to reap the reward of the audience's enjoyment is a bumpy road with so many pot holes.

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

Yes! I do this by reaching out and offering my services and even inspire to do collaborations.

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

Patience, Time and Effort. That's the best way I can describe it.

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