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

Music is the ultimate tool of expression, no matter what sound you have or what genre you are, someone out there will love it.

What is your music dream?

Bring metal back to the mainstream. Not very realistic for a very small musician however it's 100% a dream.

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

I would end all this discrimination and abuse to people for their race, gender, sexuality etc.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Ooo this is a good one. I would probably have to go with The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage by Panic! At The Disco. I can still remember my Dad playing this in the car.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

100% Korn or Nirvana.

What inspires you to make music?

The fact I'm privileged enough to be able to make it.

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

Expression is the key to personal freedom.

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

One of the best feelings. Only had the honour a few times, however I can never express the moments during a live performance. So many people interested in one space is great too.

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

It's hard to breakthrough without a lot of money or being a mainstream boring pop artist.

What do you think of Drooble?

Great tool to spread your music and message.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

When you work so hard on a project but it mostly goes ignored.

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

We don't have that much of an apparent scene here. Most people only enjoy pop, or only enjoy rap, or only enjoy indie. However people who do get my music do support it.

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

Don't be a shitty person.
