Q&A


Who or what is your musical inspiration?

Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath. He too is a handicapped guitar player and he gave me the drive to learn how to play the guitar and to try and master the creation of a riff. Al Jorgensen for being so creative in so many genres and helping create industrial metal as a while.


How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?

I don't know. I would definitely use it to inspire others to achieve their goals no matter what others may see as a handicap, it's not.


What would you do with $50,000?

I recently had a devastating arson started house fire that destroyed 90% of my belongings. I would 1st, get into another home, buy some gear then start recording & playing live shows.


Who will be America’s Next Top Hitmaker?

You decide who will appear in Rolling Stone, win $50,000, and perform at the Global Citizen Festival in NYC.
