I am an average bass player. I started to learn acoustic guitar and i am taking lessons on songwriting and composing and music theory. I am writing songs and poems since 6-7 years. I study dentistry but I am also going to be a good musician. That is if I don't die from a terrorist attack in the future. Peace..

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

It's like, you listen to a song one of those days and you decide to fall in love another one makes you not treat that harsh your friend another one gives you peace when you need to take it easy. It'a power of somekind, sometimes above politics; and i can share my mood with the whole world.

What is your music dream?

Being on stage with a huge orchestra playing my original songs.

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

I would start with people, people that are oppressed. I would give them more platform to help them out of their shell. I would try to show them that the world doestn consist of a single or binary colours. We are all parts of a spectrum.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Burak Kut-Benimle Oynama

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, Metallica, Muse, Eminem, Son Feci Bisiklet, Andrew Britton, Shawn James

What inspires you to make music?

Most of the time it's hopelessness. Sometimes when noone believes in me and I feel like that I'm not getting the necessary support that I need, I say "fuck this shit mate, if you were able to do anything so far; it wasn't because of other's support. It was you imagining and putting into action." But lots of times it gets aphatetic and self destructive.

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

I am not very clear on that yet. But roughly it's about freedom, overcoming and uprising.

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

Awesome, big, manly.

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

Well the answer depends on what you were referring to with the ter "musician". Does it refer to shiny bastards that star shitting industry provides us daily, or to the people who bleeds into their songs. If it's the first one, people should feel the need of developing a taste for arts. It should not be given away randomly on TV. If it's the second, in my country people can't really make a living with music when they are not stars. And this also blocks the path of the amateur musicians to work and grow as a musician. I don't know what can be done about this. I just try to strum whenever I can.

What do you think of Drooble?

Drooble is a great idea, though I wasn't using it actively until today. I'll share my thoughts later as i learn.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Having no equipment, needing for money. See I'm actually a dentist but I never wanted to be. But I have to 'cus.. you know.. I got to pay the rent and get myself new tools. And plus I cant manage the time that well, business hours, music times, go out with friends... It's so complicated.

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

No I dont, because there is no music that I am interested in there. Maybe I can go and play someday as I wrote 3-4 songs more.

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

He/she should not be afraid of trying new things, talking to other musicians, playing at public places, expanding network. He/she should have new experiences as much as he/she can.

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

Shawn James, Andrew Britton, Hey Douglas, Saltillo
