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

Music is my escape, a way I could express myself is through playing music

What is your music dream?

The dream is to play music that I like and meet people who enjoy playing/listening to the same kind of music

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

This going to sound like a typical answer but it is true.. If I wanted to change the world I would rather start with myself first

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

I would rather say symphonies.. My Mother listens to a lot of classical music like Beethoven, and she introduced me to this kind of music when I was younger

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

That's a tough question but my top favorite bands are : Iron Maiden, Anathema, Opeth, Don Dokken, Red Hot chili Peppers, Juliette J. Valduriez, Pink Floyd, RATT... I could go on with the list

What inspires you to make music?

Everything

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

Teach people how to feel

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

Excited, crazy, and a little bit of ego of course. Any musician who says he does not develop an ego is a freakin' liar haha, but a true musician knows how to control his ego

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

Some musicians tend to judge other fellow musicians in a negative way, for example if there was a band that is performing a song live and the solo section was kind of sloppy or hit a wrong note, they will eliminate the entire performance and completely focus on this little one missed note on the solo section.. pathetic ! Precision is important, but we are human beings not robots, we make mistakes and will continue to make mistakes, but a smart musician will learn from those mistakes and improve. Me personally, I think mistakes in music is healthy, because it makes you evolve musically. We, as musicians should be helping one another not putting each other down... if you want to criticize someone's playing you are free to do so, but make it constructive, like giving advice on how to improve

What do you think of Drooble?

Cool and sexy website. I like the fact that your songs gets to be played on the radio and people can actually come across one of your own songs and discover you easily

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Musicians who makes everything a damn competition, I mean.. sure you can go compete in an actual competition in band wars or events like that.. but no need to turn it to hell, because you are playing music and you should be you enjoying yourself rather than stressing.. music should be a form of relief not stress, take a chill pill.. Oh and floyd roses LOL

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

Not really, as I am not really updated with what is going in with the local scene

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

Play whatever makes YOU happy, what YOU think is good... Put a lot of feel to your music... Enjoy yourself on and off the stage and follow your heart, because at the end of the day you can not please the entire crowd, at least that's what I think it is

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