Story

For many years, I wrote collectively with a full band. I now write solo, hiring musicians to write the music to my lyrics and melody.

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

Music is an added expression of who I am, what I feel, what I need. Creating and recording music gives me a rush that I don't get anywhere else. The feeling is so strong, and I need it more and more.

What is your music dream?

My Music dream is to sign a record deal and perform all over the world!

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

If I could change the world, I would start with how people see others negatively. We are all human and all have our flaws, but together we are stronger than we are divided.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Lady In Red, this song is a childhood memory as I used to sing it all the time to my first crush.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Nine Shrines, Wake Up Hate, I See Stars, Tool, Pantera.

What inspires you to make music?

My inspiration is life events that I personally have dealt with.

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

You are not alone, we all have a time when nothing makes sense. Talk about it and feel the emotions rather than suppressing them.

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

I LOVE IT!!! Excitement and energy.

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

The reality nowadays is you have to put so much into yourself on your own, there is no longer artist development. Bring back artist management for labels.

What do you think of Drooble?

I really like Drooble, it is a site I think that brings true musicians together.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Getting to the venue and nothing is working.

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

Yes, I go to local venues to support local acts. I do not know many of them but I go to support and buy merch.

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

Drive, it is a lot of work to promote on your own. When you do not have a label, you have to work for yourself and make time to do it daily.
