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

Music has always been a part of my life. If it wasn't for radio i wouldn't have had the variety of music that influenced me to pursue a musical career. Music is a life long friend that will always be there when i need it.

What is your music dream?

My music dream is to get rid of labeling music. There must be 50 genres out there...and it hurts really good music. I hear it all the time, and it makes me cringe. People say..i cant stand rock n roll..i hate rap..country is a bunch of rednecks n hillbillies. If the music was played on the radio..without being categorized...everyone could hear all music. I love music..makes no difference to me what genre it is. NO MORE LABELS!

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

PRAYER..PEACE..LOVE..N..LIGHT. Acknowledge JESUS CHRIST. The world is in trouble...and its not climate change..in the weather sense... The world constantly changes. And not for the good. Lets try to understand each other..help one another..teach..n..share faith and ideas that will lead us to peace and love. Then the eternal light of our Lord will shine bright.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

There was so much music in my house as a child. I had a wide variety of music since i grew up with 2 older sisters and 2 older brothers. I spent a lot of time in sister's room coz she had the the stereo. She played a lot of Elvis records. The 2 songs that stand out by Elvis are very close n personal to me. IN THE GHETTO n IF I CAN DREAM.

BEATLES! Love Abbey Road and Let It Be. TINA TURNER! Saw her on tv n i was hooked! CHER! Her long black hair n outfits were revolutionary. And she could act. OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN! ANGELIC voice...positive...very good songwriter...avery strong woman. JOHN LENNON! HIS HOPE FOR PEACE N LOVE still inspire me. His personal life was just that.

Positive attitude..calm..faith..peace..love.

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

We are all one. Positive energy and joy.

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

Its not my place to improve people. I see them creating an image...which is what musicians have done forever. Some try to see just how far they can go. That sells tickets..and their music. I cant say its right or wrong. But it can destroy musicians. Big brother is always watching..so..how much do you love your profession.??
