  1. Is there a message you would like to portray through your music, and if so, what would it be? 

That music has the power to connect and shape culture, and with that I try to use positive messaging within my music.

  1. What are the inspirations that helped push you into wanting to pursue a career in music ?

From a young age, music has affected me so deeply, from going to punk shows at 16 in NYC to remembering hearing Pink Floyd  for the first time. To this day, every time I hear a new piece of music that touches me, it’s like a world of color erupts in my head.  My natural hunger for music drove me to seek new sounds. At first it bought me to the music of the UK where I fell in love with the early vibes of sound culture and labels like DMZ and others. It lead me to open up one of the first distribution companies to import this hard to get music. From there we wound up running Fuel Records USA which helped bring artist like Tipper to America. For me music is always about pushing myself to explore and be open to new sounds.
