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

It's simply a part of me. And extension of my soul. I cannot conceive my life without it.

What is your music dream?

To write for all ensembles. To write for movies also. To have my music played by valid musicians.

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

By evanescing greed, the origin of all evil.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

When I was very small, from my bedroom I could hear my parents watching the Persuaders, the soundtrack of which I was transfixed by. I believe it was composed by John Barry. So intriguing. I guess it was symbolic of the emotional intensity that I always searched for in music.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

I love nearly all composers that go from the midieval times to this day (I DO NOT like atonal music). I also love jazz, blues, funk, fusion, rock. I cannot say I have one favorite.

What inspires you to make music?

I really don't know. Music is...just there. And I derive inspiration from whatever occurs at the time.

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

As much beauty as I can. And thought. Depth, Substance.

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

Nervous.

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

That's a difficult question. We are fully in crisis at the moment.

What do you think of Drooble?

Promising. Let's hope it grows.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Lots of things.

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

Byt attending concerts. If and when I can. I don't always have the time.

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

Originality. Substance. But...as we all know, the audience is fickle, and prone to like scandals. So there isn't much meritocracy, is there?

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

Giovanni Sollima. I think he's brilliant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXooAGnBp50
