2.What / Who made you want to sing?

I started singing as kid. I sang as I listened to records. When I started doing my own music there was no one to sing the songs so did vocals myself.

 

3.Who was the first singer you saw live that gave you chills?

Finnish singers I guess it was Marco Hietala and when I saw Klaus Meine sing in Helsinki with Scorpions sometime in 90s.

 

4.Many people say heavy music is just screaming, How would you combat that statement?

Well, it's not. It's very technical even if the vocals would be screaming type singing.

 

5.If you growl or do harsh vocals how do you keep your voice after such violent performances?

I don't scream and do really harsh vocals just for that I will be able to sing ll I drop.

 

6. Do you have a warm up routine? Tell u bout it ?

Mainly some scales and breathing exercises.

 

7. Do you think power or performance is more important?

Both equally, if there is not both then the performance will not be complete.

Can't think of anyone right now.
