4.What is your genre? What bands do you use to explain to people what you sound like?
We are a rock band. It’s really hard to compare ourselves to other bands because we dont sound like any other band, many people have told us we have our own sound that we don’t sound like any other bands out there.

7. Have you ever been on tour? If so where and with who?
No we have never been on tour.

One person that influenced me was Joan Jett. I liked how she wasn’t afraid of what people thought of her and she just got up there and sang her heart out to fans

My mother is that extra member because she helps out whenever she can

I have a half stack Marshall amp. And a Gibson Les Paul studio, that Gibsun made custom for me. It’s a rare guitar that weighs almost nothing.
13.What is your musical guilty pleasure that you are ashamed of?
I really dont have a guilty pleasure, I’m a hard working musician that likes to help other musicians and I like to remain humble.
14.If you could custom build a band who would be the members?
I would probably keep the members that I have because we fit so well and work together so well that it maybe harder to find the right musicians with the right fit.
15.Message to the fans? What is it?
That if you have a dream and a goal to keep pushing it. Don’t listen to others telling you that you wont make it or your a failure, I was told that over and over by so many people and even family, but look at me now I have a name for myself, my music is being aired on radio, and I’m being featured in worldwide magazine with some of the biggest known rock bands. Keep doing you because your dream is never to far out of reach.
