Do you feel the Internet/Social Media has impacted the music business for indie artists such as yourself?
There are pros and cons. It’s easier to get music out but a lot of these singles burn out. People are invested in drama it’s sad but that what’s sells. I’m a private person but sometimes I have to be on social media a lot more than I want to be.2
