Should music be free?
I don’t know. I put out a lot of free content, but I need people to buy something in order for me to continue making music. Most of my income comes from touring, but what happens to musicians that don’t tour? However, I read a study that said that people who download music wouldn’t have bought the album anyway. It’s better to have more people listening to your music for free then no one because they don’t want to buy it.

What is one track of your own that stands out as a favorite and why?
“The World is Ours” will always be my favourite because it’s a song I made years ago and am still excited about. You will find most musicians don’t like referencing old albums or old songs of theirs because they have moved on and don’t want to be pigeon holed into an old sound. For this song, I still think it represents me and the sound I want to continue to achieve.
