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

Music is my passion. Music gives me a way to express what I can not put to words, how I'm feeling at the time, the environment and/or situation that's influencing the music I write, etc.

What is your music dream?

My dream is to play music for the remaining amount of time I have in this existence, with fellow like-minded individuals

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

I don't really know, or have any kind of idea.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

I don't have one

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Paul Allender from Cradle Of Filth, Shagrath from Dimmu Borgir, Satyr from Satyricon, Charles Edward from Seraphim Shock, Rob Zombie, and Brendon Small of Metalocalypse.

What inspires you to make music?

Too many to put here.

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

Just be who you are, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise

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

I feel honored to have been given that opportunity to play music for people

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

It depends on who you talk to, and what their ideas are, so it's hard to say.

What do you think of Drooble?

I'd like to explore the possibilities that Drooble has to offer, so I don't have an opinion about it right now

What frustrates you most as a musician?

People telling me that I can't do this, or it's too late to do that, or they're too old to be in a band, let alone finding people who are either interested, or have some experience playing music, or both.

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

I do, when I have the money to do so, go to local concerts and buy some of the merch

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

That's what I'm trying to figure out myself.

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

Charles Edward of Seraphim Shock, and my friend Alex Roland of a Denver based band called Cognatus.
