Why do you like music?
- Music repletes my mind and allows me to bring myself to the very nature of the song. Sometimes, I get attracted on the melody and it satiates my being, thus, making me wander in a different world, the world of the song. Music keeps me sane and connects to my soul.
How do you interpret music?
- I play it myself. I Perform it freely and it could be in various styles. Mostly, I play it on instruments. I play and sing.
It could be the drums, bass, guitar, piano. And all I know it feels fabulous and I take great delight on it. Just so you know, I love to interpret it more on the piano because it's more versatile than the rest. When I do stuffs like these, I could feel the inhibitions depart from me and feels like your free from anything that binds you... then you just wanna go further your own. There, you can be yourself, express yourself, interpret it yourself and feel the music yourself. Its an amazing feeling, Really.
What kind of music do you listen?
- I do listen to many types though and songs that has catchy melodies pokes my mentality as quick as lightning. And if we talk about genres: I don't have to mind because there's plenty that I can say that I'm feeling it. Ultimately, of course, the songs for God. The One, The Great I Am. The one who started it all. I just wanna give back all the credits to Him. You see, what attracts me the most from a certain music is how the lyrics and musicality of the song is being portrayed and it has to go along together.
Who influenced you to pursue music?
- My dad plays the guitar and sings, he could be one of the influence. My friends at home, TV, FM Radios, etc... it gave me the spark to learn how to play the guitar way back freshmen years in high school. I realized that I have it in me so I pursued it. On band/Artist area, what I have in mind is the band Incubus, and before, I don't really mind their lyrics but their musicality is remarkable. Very creative. They took me deeper in music through their style and I feel that they are different from the other band/artists. In the OPM side, I can pick the Hale band, they influenced me in their soft style alternative genre and I really enjoyed listening to their songs. Also, Bamboo band was been my favorite OPM band and they really play cool musics. Versatile, Cool and striking. Every time they perform on stage, they're just amazing. In the area of songwriting, I got struck by the style of Adam Young of Owl City. For me, He is a total genius in the area of music. I appreciate him for being such an independent individual in making musics alone. He creates art like I've never tasted before, inspiring indeed and it motivates to personally try on writing songs. Also, artists like Chris August, Secondhand Serenade, Tyler Ward, Kurt Hugo Schneider and probably many more. In terms of musicality, for me, they're awesome. I'm starting to make music my own and these guys I've mentioned above brought a big impact on me and of course I would not forget, the one I'm dedicating to write music about -- is GOD.
