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

Sense of Freedom and expression, memory recognition of location..,Where you were when you hear a track you've loved for so long.., just a feeling of euphoria when you play something on point..

What is your music dream?

Glastonbury and a few other Stadiums to light up in my lifetime..

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

Peace and Love..

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Are friends electric..by Paul Numan

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

far too many to list..

What inspires you to make music?

hearing peoples reaction to when i play live, just feels like you've done something right when people applaud you..

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

Peace and Love

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

nervous but content on doing my best performance..

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

demo tracks should be a major factor on radio, as they would sell to and give trying artists the platform to improve their quality and talent with being able to fund their aims...

What do you think of Drooble?

awesome beyond any web page i have ever been connected to..., beautiful people i would not normally ever get to hear their music nor realise there is a perfect world out there and 'Drooble.com' has now made that possible for me with extra platforms i may join to be part of their team, wouldn't get that with youtube nor facebook..

What frustrates you most as a musician?

having to work to earn money whereas if i was rehearsing music 14 hrs a day, i'd be rather good right now..

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

i play a regular open mic gig in Hampton Court, to keep the host busy with artists for the local community and for others visiting..

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

just a passion for learning their talent..

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

crikey i'd be here for ever..., Mazzy Star.., Younger Brother, Stuart Smith, etc
