Do you play live?
Nothing planned at the moment
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
MP3 technology helps opened up the music industry to artists who may normally get overlooked because they don't fit the current molds etc!! The negative comments about online distribution 'devaluing' music is rather short-sighted! Music will always have a value we just need to look at how we make the online experience as experiential as possible to create a new 'value'.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yep sure would.
