 <\/p>\n

Q: When\/how did you hear about Second Life?
A: I heard about Second Life from a friend who was already performing online. It wasn’t long before I signed up and started performing. This was all back in December of 2008.<\/p>\n

Q: How did you start playing music?
A: I was eight years old when I begged my father to let me take piano lessons. Years later, I picked up a guitar and started to learn how to play and write music. I have never turned my back on music ever since. I started performing in SL as a guitar player and vocalist and never actually played the piano for 12 years until recently. I introduced piano to my concerts and haven’t stopped.<\/p>\n

Q: Who are some of your favorite musicians?
A: There are so many bands\/musicians that are my favorite, but these are some of them: Radio head, Billie Eilish, Cold play, U2, The Verve, Garbage, Alanis, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Cranberries, and many more! I don’t just like one genre of music. I listen, love and sing to country, rhythm & blues, pop, rock, edm, jazz, blues, and I don’t stop there. Music is my life. It moves me and it’s my therapy.<\/p>\n

Q: Tell us about one of your best songwriting moments.
A: To me, emotion has a lot to do with songwriting. I have to feel something. I remember a few years ago, I experienced such heartbreak, and ended up writing a song in a matter of minutes. My emotions took over and I ended up writing one of my best songs.<\/p>\n

Q: Do you have a favorite SL venue for performing?
A: All of the venues that I have performed in within SL\u00a0have been amazing. Although I’ve had to cut my schedule down a lot, I will still be writing music and performing in SL. I have been working on my second album that should be released in December\u00a02020, or early January\u00a02021. I am also working on a couple of film projects:\u00a0one is a web series called\u00a0GHOST SLAPPED<\/em>\u00a0that will be out sometime early in 2021, and the other will be a short film (and perhaps my first feature film) later in 2021. Anyone interested can follow these projects or my music in the links shared here.<\/p>\n

Q: What is the most meaningful aspect of the SL music community to you?
A: The most meaningful aspect of SL to me is\u00a0reaching out to the community and sharing\u00a0my music with the world, virtually. There is a community here that relates to my music, and some find comfort in it.<\/p>\n
