3.With digital music in today's world would you vote to keep or eliminate physical media? 

definitly, there is something romantic about having a hard copy, but the convenience of being able to carry around an unlimited amount of digital music wherever you go and creating playlists and sharing music is a way of life these days.

4.What is the reason you decided to be a musician and has that reason paid off? 

(Angst)-mainly I think music finds you, and I've never looked back. It has introduced  me to a new world and I have met some incredibly creative people and shared some of the deepest relationships and friendships through music. (Hope)- yea I agree it's a major part of our lives, you have to sacrifice and make choices to keep the music going. (Shame)- I did it for the chicks 😜 but seriously, it's something that is in you and the desire to express yourself and your thoughts to others who may feel alone or misunderstood and need a hug when no one is there to give it to them. (Ire)-Yup, that about sums it up for me.

we want  people to be aware and have an open mind but mostly know that they are not alone when they hurt. We all hurt at some point in our lives and it's ok to let your guard down and ask for help.

9.The market has changed and many bands believe that record labels are a thing of the past, with many labels now charging bands to “sign” how do you think a band can make it in todays scene? 

you still need labels, they have the promotional budget and that makes a big difference.  Bands can do a lot of things as far as recordings go but, because there is so much content lots of good bands will never be heard.
