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

Music is an essence. That feeling of just.. life really. I picture it like this, you wake up on a beautiful saturday morning. The first things you may do is, brush your teeth.. maybe even take a shower. Those are acts done out of routine. Now, you start to feel this grumble.. this feeling of emptiness and fatigue. You know what this is because you have felt this before.. Well, that my friends is passion for me and the only way to fill that hunger is music. Without it, i would starve. To the bone, to the soul just completely starved. It fills me in ways words cannot comprehend.

What is your music dream?

My dream is to make a living on my musical creativity. Just to get a band together and do what i love.

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

I would change the thoughts of ancient man. The idea that conquering and enslaving.. truly the indulgence of hate has festered in our current society is an abomination.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Moonage Daydream by David Bowie

Foo Fighters, Sevendust, Pantera, HellYeah, Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Evanescence, David Bowie, The Beatles. ETC.

What inspires you to make music?

I guess within myself there is a need to create art. I feel the most accomplished when i've written lyrics that mirror parts of my life that i have closed behind this psychological door. Helps me cope, makes me feel safe and heard.

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

That everyone has their bad days and the days they wake up feeling loved and inspired. That even in the grey areas of life.. you are never alone. You can listen to my music and know you have a friend, a companion that knows your secrets and thoughts that will not play judge, jury or executioner.

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

I feel amazing. I am with family.

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

It could definitely be improved. There is so much choking the local, regional and global scenes. My biggest problem was growing up and music was not seen as a successful path financially. People should do what they love and make great money doing it. If you have the drive, focus and equipped with that burning passion. You should be able to accomplish lucrative feats.

I do, in Springfield, Massachusetts i play with some of the finest rock musicians.. period. I like to call them my brothers because we are apart of a bigger brotherhood. Beyond that, i have friends that play Jazz, Blues, R&B, ETC.
