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

Over the past couple years music for me has evolved into an emotional output as well as a pool of immense joy I can pull from. Everything I love revolves someway around music.

What is your music dream?

I’m not sure. At this point I just create my own favorite songs. I tend not to get my hopes up as far as making it with my music.

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

I have aspirations to volunteer abroad with Peace Corps.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Not sure but the first thing that comes to mind is Plainsong by The Cure.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Damn what a question. I made a list a while ago so I’ll post it but keep in mind it’s no exactly updated to recently: The Beach Boys The Cure The Beatles Deerhunter Atlas Sound Mac DeMarco Radiohead Gorillaz King Krule Slowdive Brian Eno Sufjan Stevens SPOON Tame Impala My Bloody Valentine Elliott Smith Smashing Pumpkins The War on Drugs LCD Soundsystem Good Morning Tonstartssbandht American Football Father John Misty Tool Modern Wool DIIV HOMESHAKE Jellyfish Bon Iver 7 Percent Solution A Five And Dime Ship Blindshore PUP Blue October Neon Indian Frank Ocean TELE/VISIONS Bulldog Eyes Cody Ash Richie Woods Porches ...and trust me, there are LOTS more.

What inspires you to make music?

On a personal level, my parents and their friends are musicians. On a musical level, people like Bradford Cox from Deerhunter, Archy Marshal from King Krule, etc.

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

Just that hopefully someone can take what I’ve made and insert their own life story to relate to me, or to simply appreciate the things I talk about going through in my songs I suppose.

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

Not sure. Haven’t done it yet with any of my music but I’d love to.

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

I live in Austin and the music scene is extremely saturated. There’s no way of making a name for yourself anymore unless you have a lot of luck I think.

What do you think of Drooble?

Just downloaded it, we’ll see we’ll see.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

How saturated the music scene is nowadays.

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

Liking FB pages and following IG accounts. Staying update w/ my favorite bands tours and such.

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

I would love to hear some answers on this.
