Do you play live?
LIVE PERFORMANCE IS THE MAIN REASON I'M AN ARTIST. I AM A PERFORMING AND RECORDING ARTIST. THERES NO BETTER FEELING THEN GIVING MY ALL ON STAGE FOR A VENUE FULL OF DANCE CRAZY FANS.
EVERY MOMENT THAT I ENJOY THE SHOW AND THE FANS ENJOY THE SHOW IS SPECIAL. THATS WHERE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. SHIRTS FLY OFF, CROWD SURFING ETC.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
THE INTERNET HAS A VERY SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN QUITE A FEW WAS. WE WE TALK ABOUT RECORD SALES, TRADITIONAL LABELS ARE A DYING BREED AS ARTIST ARE ABLE TO RECORD AND SELL THE MUSIC FROM THEIR LIVING ROOM.
SO WHAT THE INTERNET DOES IN THAT REGARD IS MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF MUSIC ASSESSABLE AT THE CLICK OF A BUTTON. THOUGH THIS IS GOOD FOR ARTIST WHO WOULD NOT APPEAL TO A LABEL, IT PRESENT QUITE A SPEED BUMP FOR ARTIST BECAUSE THIS NEW GAME IS EVEN MORE COMPETITIVE.
WITH MP3'S PEOPLE ARE NO LONGER INTERESTED IN BUYING COMPLETE ALBUMS. INSTEAD THEY PURCHASE INDIVIDUAL TRACKS, WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO EARN THE MONEY RECORDING ARTIST EARNED JUST 5 YEARS AGO.
ALL IN ALL THE INTERNET HAS CHANGED THE INDUSTRY IN A VERY NEW AND CONFUSING WAY. I CAN'T SAY ITS BAD. WE JUST HAVE TO LEARN TO WORK WITH THIS NEW WAY OF BUSINESS.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
ONLY IF THEY OFFERED ME THE SAME FREEDOM, MORE MARKETING, GREATER TOURING AND RECORD SELLS. I AM CURRENTLY UNDER THE TATE MUSIC GROUP, AN EXCELLENT INDIE LABEL, THAT ALLOWS ME THE CREATIVE FREEDOM WHILE BACKING MY PRODUCT FULL BLAST. THE AGE OF THE MAJOR LABEL IS ENDING.

Your influences?
AS A COMPOSER, PRODUCER AND PERFORMER I HONESTLY PULL FROM ANY AND EVERY GENRE OF MUSIC. MY FIRST LOVE HAS ALWAYS BEEN DANCE/HOUSE/TECHNO ELECTRONIC DRIVEN MUSIC. THAT MIXED WITH THE SOPHISTICATION OF JAZZ, THE POWER OF ROCK AND THE FEEL OF SOUL MUSIC IS WHERE I FIND MYSELF.
I REALLY LOOK UP TO ARTIST SUCH AS: PRINCE, DURAN DURAN, STEVE VAI, PINK FLOYD, DAVID BOWIE, EARTH WIND & FIRE, BON JOVI AND A FEW OTHERS.

Favorite spot?
I DON'T PARTICULARLY HAVE A FAV CITY. I AM PARTIAL TO CONCERT HALLS AND ARENAS. BIG PRODUCTIONS, HIGH ENERGY, ROARING CROWDS. I'VE PERFORMED QUITE A FEW, NONE THAT I'VE NOT WANTED TO RETURN TO.
