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

Freedom of expression, and to hear my own values and life experiences artistically yet still relatable.

What is your music dream?

To have my brand take off bigtime, and have followers that truly enjoy what I make. I want to play shows with the biggest names in the entirety of the industry.

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

The immeasurable divide of super-rich vs. poor.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Deftones - My Own Summer It just stuck with me.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Tool for prog, The Weeknd for his versatility, Deftones for that heavy rock, Post Malone for his creativity in terms of the Country/Rap wave.

What inspires you to make music?

My influences, my goals, and it is the only activity I can spend any amount of time on without feeling like I am working.

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

I have far too many to include here, messages change with each song and each mood/story associated to that particular track.

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

Very comfy, I got over my stage nerves years ago. Now mostly I just feel like the lights are too hot.

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

It is harder than ever to be noticed. Music is so stream-able and public yet so saturated. We need to perfect our streaming services to happily balance big name tracks and under dogs.

What do you think of Drooble?

Drooble is one of the best apps for musical organisation, we are all here in the same place.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Lack of payment, expectations, Technical issues.

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

Yeah at my shows I always support the other bands in the line-up.

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

To be unique in their approach to conventional genres, or creating genres.
