Elvis Presley and his songwriters.

Describe why art is so important to society today.
Music can heal wounds and should bring different opinions together, thus leading to cohesion.
What motivates you to compose?
I am happy when I can pass something on to people and encourage them with my songs to keep going toward their goal, even in difficult situations!
How do you define success as a musician?
I don't measure success by money, but by a good message and masterful quality. Unfortunately, mainstream music can't do that!

Art gives me the opportunity to share my thoughts and melodies with other people and thus strike up conversations with strangers.

Making, producing, and releasing music 🙂
