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

Music frees my mind, lets me say what i cant directly say, allows me to be real and speak to others maybe dealing with the same things i deal with...i write for the people..

What is your music dream?

change someones life

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

all the bullshit, the dividing, the hate

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

In My Life The Beatles

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

The Beatles is what go me going my dad got me into them more so John Lennon, loved his style of writing his vocals

What inspires you to make music?

anything really a song title or a situation, i try to be real not write off the wall bullshit but sometimes that comes out too

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

always a better tomorrow, to stay positive, know someone else is going through what you are and that you're not alone..

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

nervous as any normal person is but once you get rolling its not so bad

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

the music today in mainstream is so one sided there is no stories, nothing that grips the soul, a song should speak to you, should be a great story and not just loops and a repeating chorus with a drum machine beat..and there is more to life then sex, cars, money, silly shit out on the air waves

What do you think of Drooble?

introduced through hugs like it and hope to build on it

What frustrates you most as a musician?

when you got and idea and it slips away or turns to shit

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

i support all local talent that's what is great about being unsigned the real music is in the people that haven't made it, the people who have i feel lost the way and its all about money and what everyone wants now a days ..instead of being honest and different..it all follows the same format

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

a good song..look at Dylan he cant sing to save his soul but the man writes amazing music.. its all about the music if the song is solid then the hook will catch the ear and stay, and then that's when you build the relationship to the song where it relates to you.. its not about how many high to low notes you can hit..
