What strengths do you have that you believe make you a great musician?
A.D.D. probably? lol. I'm super critical about my vocal delivery and everything else inbetween but also always pushing myself to evolve and do better!
What is the biggest challenge of being an artist?
Finding the right audience. I understand music is objective and us blending multiple genres, it gets tough to pinpoint the right audience for these tunes!
Your latest track is 'Where You Been?'. Can you share with us the background of its creation and did any unusual things happen during its creation?
Actually this was more of an off topic production. Cesar had originally sent a production that he had for me to listen to and it sat for a few months out there, so I had asked Ryan to check it out and maybe ask Cesar for us to take it for Red Skies Mourning because it sounded awesome... so yeah the production Cesar did was great, Ryan created the melody and I wrote the lyrics and sang.
Where do you see your musical career in 10 years?
Hopefully getting better and better with the overall sound of RSM.
What is the most surprising fact you’ve learnt about yourself?
As a Singer-Songwriter, I think it's the lyrically content so far, I would also say my vocals getting in more pop vs the rock edge I had.
Do you think that education is important?
It's very important but it also evolves and I find more OJT(On The Job Training) is more important and educational.
What would you be doing right now, if it wasn’t for your music career?
Well. I'm a IT Cloud Infrastructure Engineer right now... music is my passion. I wish I could do this full time.
How do you structure your week?
When I'm not working on a job that pays me, I work on music.
What do you think is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen or experienced?
The moment I realized life is short and you shouldn't take things for granted. Learning to live in the moment, no matter what.
Describe a real-life situation that inspired you?
I would say one person so impactful, they inadvertently made you re-evaluate your life and want to be a better person.
