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

I am not religious within the ideology of most people... I do follow the Music God. He gives me passion and a reason to move on in this world. I love my ears and pray I wont end up one day like Frankie Wilde in the movie It's All Gone Pete Tong.

What is your music dream?

Currently is to be the most mass media for electronic music coverage in Bulgaria, while the last thing I want to do is to build a music dance club near water (river, lake or sea) and make it to the TOP 100 in the world!

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

Not really...The world is what it is... I wouldn't change anything, I guess!

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Wth.You - Linkin Park (Reanimation)

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

FSOL, Linkin Park, Nolah, Hito, Paul van Dyk, Amelie Lens

What inspires you to make music?

I don't make music, I produce musicians!

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

I don't make music, I produce musicians!

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

I don't make music, I produce musicians!

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

It is easier than ever to become a musician nowadays and many do try this. Not many are able to pierce the hardships of the beginning. They give up easy or want money, which obviously are not worth their skills. Musicians could be less avid and more structured with their plan, while my colleagues and me try to promote any interesting and worth doing electronic music performer.

What do you think of Drooble?

Neat idea, going to explore more and edit this answer, when I am more aware!

What frustrates you most as a musician?

I don't make music, I produce musicians!

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

This is my organization what is doing. CUSTOM x MAG is supporting mainly Bulgarian electronic music artists, while covering international artists as well. We do try to make the Bulgarian electronic music market competitive enough to the giants of the field.

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

Voice (this is just something you don't always choose), Creativity and standing up for it, Money (this ain't quality, but is what it is), experience at known places!

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

FSOL, Nolah, Hito, Amelie Lens, Lindo Man
