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

Music is half of my soul. It gives me an outlet.

What is your music dream?

Just to have my music heard and to have people excited for me to release new music. That is all, really.

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

People would just love each other and not have to kill each other over oil and religion.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Speechless by Michael Jackson

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Coheed and Cambria. Even got a tattoo to commemorate them.

What inspires you to make music?

Pain mostly....and being cocky. I make music to talk shit to people passive aggressively.

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

I am talented and creative.

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

Invigorated and socially charged.

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

Everyone is mumble rapper and most of them suck. But there is a dope underground scene that is untapped that is actually pretty awesome.

What do you think of Drooble?

I think it is a dope concept that is going to change the game for musicians like myself. Soundcloud and Spotify missed out.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

It's hard to get people to appreciate real lyricism. If you can't twerk to it people don't want to listen.

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

Absolutely. A lot of my friends are musicians so I like to share their new music and hype them up. That's what people that are generally supportive of someone does, I think.

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

A drive that accepts rejection as motivation to keep going.

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

1975, Coheed and Cambria, Cody Carr, Nicky Halt, Julius Ceezar.
