Why this name?
I saw it on my birth certificate and thought that I could use that name without getting sued :-)
Do you play live?
Yes, I love to play live. I have always preferred performing music better than recording.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Wow, it has opened up a whole new world of independent promotion. Now anyone has the opportunity to share his/her craft with the masses. I also believe that it will serve to keep the big record companies in check in the future. The digital revolution has only just begun!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yeah. Of coarse!
