Story

Started Recording when I was 17 years old, my studio has only grew since then. I've been in multiple bands. One lasted 7 years before its dismissal in 2015. The next band was awesome but very short lived. I decided to go on my own endeavor. Everything has some kind of influence on my music. I try to stick to the normal genres but adding the little twist is what makes it unique.

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

I am an entertainer to the core. I love making people feel happy, accepted, angry, sad. And If I can lose myself in 3 minutes worth of material, my hope is I can create that same feeling for someone else.

What is your music dream?

If I could live comfortably making music or recording other musicians, helping them pursue their dream, that would make me happy.

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

Random acts of kindness, it's not hard

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Anything from Simple Plan

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

I've listened to everything, went through all the music phases, and I still to this day listen to all the old stuff

What inspires you to make music?

My family, my wife, friends. Just random objects in the room and how they work and you can associate their function with real life situations

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

Its all gonna be okay

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

Like I'm doing exactly what i was born to do.

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

You can find inspiration anywhere. Don't just write music to make profit, you are setting yourself up for big failure if money is the only thing on your mind. write it because you love to. write music with others in mind. create a scenario or a music video in your head and write based off of that. there are many people that are going through exactly what you just thought of. If they hear your song and feel "im no the only one" you may save them from doing something hurtful.

What do you think of Drooble?

I think this is a great idea. an app would be nice

What frustrates you most as a musician?

when they take it too serious. just have fun with it. people will engage you more if they see you are having fun

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

Absolutely, I own a recording studio where local musicians can record for very cheap. I try to link certain bands up for shows, like you guys would sound great playing before or after this band.

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

the concept "spend money to make money" is sometimes the way to go. if you are afraid of spending hundreds of dollars not knowing what the outcome will be, you are only hurting yourself. do some research but then again. just do it. take the plunge. you may gain much more than you expect.
