1: What inspires you to create?

Personal experiences and anything I might be feeling or thinking at the time.

2: What advice would you give to someone who wants to be in a creative profession?

Do it because you love it and network as much as you can, because you never know who you are going to meet. Make sure you’re involved in some way in the community of creatives that you are in.

3: Do you feel open minded about what you listen to? Do you like going out of your comfort zone?

Yes. Sometimes I do.

YouTube, concerts, and through friends

5: What is your favorite format to listen to music on? (CD, Vinyl, etc.)

Streaming, but I do like listening to vinyl records on occasion

6: How do you feel the internet has impacted the music business?

It has changed some of the ways that artists/bands operate. We are now content creators when it comes to trying to reach people.

7: Who was the first band/artist that became your favorite band?

AC/DC

8: If you could open a show for any artist, who would it be?

That is a tough one. Pearl Jam would be one that I would love to open for.

9: Do you have any hobbies outside of music?

Yes, It varies from hiking, working out, biking, and watching sports.

10: What was the inspiration for your song “Dive”?

The music was inspired by local bands that I was listening to. I wanted to write a song that had energy to it. The lyrics were inspired from when I started reaching out to those I wanted to work with. This can be scary at times and still is, but it is necessary in order to get to where

to.
