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

Music to me is a way for me to express my feelings and ideas to the world. Music gives me a little more confidence to speak my opinion and not be afraid to tell anyone how I'm feeling when they ask a question or if I don't feel comfortable doing certain things.

What is your music dream?

My dream is to be a Film Director and Screenwriter. But I would also love to make music on the side as a personal project to express myself even more and break out of my comfort zone and gain even more self confidence in myself and my goals.

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

I would change the way the law system is a little. I believe that if you violate a child or adult in anyway you should sit in prison for life.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

A memorable song from my childhood is Scars to Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

My favorite music artist is XXXTentacion because his unique versatility in music has inspired my own form of art when it comes to making films and music. But he's also shown me that it's okay to be yourself and don't try to be someone your not. He's also taught me that if you have any goals or dreams that you can accomplish them as long as you put your mind to it.

What inspires you to make music?

What inspires to make music is the feeling of writing, recording, and releasing all my thoughts and feelings for the world to hear and for myself as some type of therapy. But even wen things get hard I still try to express myself through different art forms to feel some sense of accomplishments through everyday I live.

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

The type of message I want to send is to never let your past mistakes stop you from moving on to the future and don't let anyone hold you back from what you really want to do with your life. Ever!

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

To be honest, I mite get real nervous in front of a huge crown but I feel that if I practice and prepare myself in someway I'll be able to perform in front of a huge crowd.

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

I feel that as musician/artist we should craft and develop our own unique style of music and not try to copy what others are doing. That's what separates each artist from each other because of their unique flows that are different but iconic.

What do you think of Drooble?

Drooble is an amazing place to share music and really get your content out there. It mite take a while but you'll eventually get the hang of it.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

What fustrates me as a music/artist is comign up with new ideas for music. Making music is harder than it looks and even trying to come up with a chorus or hook is also hard. You just have to past yourself and take your time with it. Not every artist's creative process is the same.

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

Yes I do. I believe that later on down the line there will be this thing call the Drooble music or Drooble Rap era. Just like how SoundCloud had their own rap era going on.

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

A musician/artist should have the ambition and patience to craft their style and actually take their time doing it. They should want to make music for the dream and fun of it. Not just for money and fame.
