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

Music is the language of the Universe. There are no limits. Music takes you away..on a journey.

What is your music dream?

To work with more talented musicians...to help them market their works.

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

Myself. If we all worked on our own shit, the world would be a better place..yes?

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

I'm 46, so for childhood song, I'd have to say 'More than a Felling' by BOSTON. Amazing album art and the VOCALS! The harmonies stuck with me and I guess that's why my favorite type of music today is Melodic Rock or anything with crazy harmonies.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Harem Scarem has always been with me since about 1991. The power of Harry Hess' vocals and the power behind Pete Lesperance's guitar..well..you just can't beat that...to me, anyway.

What inspires you to make music?

I'll turn this around and say that music inspires me to create amazing visuals. Either for myself or my clients.

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

Again, I'll spin this question around and answer with: I like to create visuals in what the music is saying.

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

Haven't yet, but have created some amazing merchandise that has been worn by thousands of fans at concerts!

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

More money needs to be kept by the musicians. I'm tired of corporate money being a controlling factor at how people are exposed to music. This is why I offer various types of marketing and management strategies for musicians. Time to take music back!

What do you think of Drooble?

Feels good so far!

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Corporate control of radio waves.

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

As much as possible. Business keeps me pretty busy and so does being a Dad. I think locally and help globally ;)

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

Be a musician, not a performer. You know what I mean.

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

You've probably heard of Harem Scarem, but I never get tired of spreading them around. Also, check out PUNISHMENT. These guys rawk. Their guitarist, ( and Juno Award Winner ) Kevin Gale was from the 80's Canadian metal band: Slik Toxik.
