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

It means everything to me, my first love

What is your music dream?

Not really a "music dream" so to speak however I would like to be able to wake up each day and do what I love over what I have to do to survive

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

I'm still trying to figure out the answer to this but I will say music is therapeutic it's universal and whatever mood your in there is music right there that just about caters and covers everything imaginable you would go through in life so I would say more of that!

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Purple Rain - Beyond the obvious reasons to me Prince was the ultimate entertainer , took risks he was unapologetic so effortlessly as it pertained to his image who wouldn't admire that.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

P R I N C E , B R A N D Y , 6LACK , Dru Hill , theWeeknd , Torey Lanez , Kevin George , Bon Jovi , Duran Duran , Tina Turner, Rick James , Lyfe Jennings , Tank , Bon Iver , Lana Del Rey , Kings Of Leon

What inspires you to make music?

For me its like if one had a diary or went to therapy, making music would provide the ability to vent/express yourself in more ways then none.

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

To be able to connect with those who also have serious anxiety/depression issues being that it is still a struggle for me I'm still here not allowing the negative thoughts to get the upper hand an win so in closing I wanna make music about day to day struggles/moods ; life ; love etc

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

a rush but in a good way.

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

social media wasn't always a thing until the last several years, I remember when you couldn't even access your favorite musician/celebrity you had to write a letter to their respective fan clubs or sign up for updates on their websites and it was this aura, this mystique about them where nowadays everything that is personal is now so public to where these celebrities are so accessible but to answer the question I don't know if there can be major improvement as long as social media is around

What do you think of Drooble?

No idea I just joined today.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

I would say the moments where I'm not inspired or motivated..like I want to do it but in my mind I overthink so much that I'm not able to come up with anything creatively..

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

At this moment no.

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

As I previously stated earlier social media has such a vital role in your success/ it's where you go to connect with your core audience / where you go to build your audience and lastly its where you go to promote what you have going on or will soon release
