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

It is my escape. Whenever I listen to music or I sing, I forget about all the problems of my life.

What is your music dream?

I want to be able to sing to as many places as possible.

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

The only way to change the world, is to change one's own self. So I am always trying to improve and reinvent myself.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Too many to actually pick one out.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Westlife is my favourite band ever. I also like Josh Groban, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera and some greek artists as well such as Giannis Ploutarxos, Konstantinos Argyros, Pasxalis Terzis and the late Pantelis Pantelidis.

What inspires you to make music?

It is a constant urge to express myself that drives me to sing.

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

No matter who you are or where you come from, if you have the will and the courage, you can do anything you can imagine.

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

Everything disappears. It's just me and the music.

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

Things are kinda mixed-up. Landing a deal with a record label can be difficult. On the other hand with social media like youtube and myspace a musician can create a whole market. The one true thing is that we do have a say in the end and we are not entirely dependent from major companies.

What do you think of Drooble?

Even though I just started using it, it seems pretty well designed and understood.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

I always want to sound perfect. Which something very difficult or even impossible.

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

He has to be accessible, true to his music and utilise technology. We are in the information age after all!
