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

Music is a mix of emotions, harmony, notes, feelings. Music gives me pleasure to live!

What is your music dream?

Having my songs released, published on a label, to make those who listen happy.

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

With much love, the world needs more love, starting with music.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Doce Mel from Xuxa, released on the Xou da Xuxa Álbum, 1986.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Legião Urbana a brazilian band since my childhood, Queen, Elton John and many classical composers.

What inspires you to make music?

My feelings, my frustrations, my amorous disappointments, my sorrows, my joys and my emotions.

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

A message of love, that there's love and hope even in the difficult moments of life.

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

I feel a little nervous before the presentation, anxiety, chills, shaking. From the third song I feel good, at ease and in the best place in the world, the stage.

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

For beginning musicians like me and others looking for space, it is the lack of places that provide opportunities for their own music.

What do you think of Drooble?

A good opportunity to advertise my songs and seek listeners.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

It's very frustrating to be hired to sing the songs of other artists and can't to sing the songs with my own inspirations, it's like taking on an identity that isn't mine.

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

A little frustrating, some artists here in Brazil make music for the purpose of banalizing art. The lyrics do not have the poetry that had long ago, but there are a few moments that I find something good to hear.

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

Qualities I don't know, I know excellent musicians who haven't yet had their songs launched in a great label, but nowadays it takes a lot of luck.

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

Me, my friends Rhendel RHD, Ton Reis. We're a great promise, listen us!
