Why this name?
It's my name
Do you play live?
Coquitlam B.C. It's near Vancoluver Canada. Its a small city compared to most. Coquitlam is a pretty ok place to grow up there are too many f***ing drugs here.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Sure, Bands won't get as many albums sales but they still have concert and merchandising sales. If someone really likes the band they'll see them in the concert. But if someone only likes a band hit song then they shouldn't be forced to buy the album or single just to listen to it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hell Yes. I hate the term "selling out". People use it in the wrong text nowadays. If a band makes millions off of records then they are sellouts. Bullshit. Bands make music as a living. Its their f***ing jobs. Yopu don't get made are carpenters, writer, actors, businessmen or anyone for being gopod at their job. Why should musicians be any different. Now if a band makes a sh*** load of products like Kiss did (No offense to them. I like them but they got a lot of useless shit.) then I would consider them sellouts.
Your influences?
Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, B.B.King, Robert Johnson, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton and most other blues artists.
Favorite spot?
Resdiential Ft.Lauderdale in Florida. Its a great place to live.
Equipment used:
Just me, my guitar, my amp and a couple of effects pedals
