Love, empathy, and positivity

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

I don't believe in contrived art. I think it should come from the heart, period. I think artists should probably stop relying on autotune when they sing, and they should stop copying other people as much as possible. They should probably quit doing music, if they are ONLY in it for the money. That's not what music is about, in my opinion.

It seems pretty cool so far? This interview definitely made me think!

What frustrates you most as a musician?

My worst enemy, sometimes, is myself. Feeling self-doubt regarding mixing music, in particular. The struggle is real....

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

I'm on SoundCloud, BandLab, and here now. I listen, like and comment on other artist's work. I guess you could call that support.(?) I don't really have the funds to support anyone financially at this time.

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

Honesty, integrity, passion and drive, as well as perseverance, and unwavering determination. It's important to care about others too.

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

David Lillegaard, Elizabeth Lillegaard, Robert Bigoni, and Jeromy Hilty. You have already heard music from Transending Orbit, but I feel I should mention him here. He told me about this site, and he is a terrific artist, that I plan to be working with.
