Interview: In Dreams Of Reality
Plans for the future? Play more gigs in front of larger audiences! Playing live is the greatest thing to do as a guitar player.

In order to increase your visibility and gain a position in the mind of your listener or target audience, I feel it's important to invest in a public relations firm that specializes in the entertainment industry.
Nothing beats being in a recording studio with professionals. It’s one of those moments you dream about as a kid learning to play.
In my opinion, having a booking agent is more important than any other traditional aspect. Independent artists need to take their music to the people and having more opportunities to perform live is paramount.
I`ve just released my seventh instrumental album, which is now available on all web platforms, as are my six previous releases.
This time I tried a crowdfunding approach and was able to finance a significant part of the production costs through pre-orders placed through the respective campaign.
I'm trying do more to get the music exposure and the radio airplay is doing that for me, since I get listeners from every country in the world.
I hear themes in my mind and somehow it goes on paper. Some songs on "Untold Stories" took years to get written and recorded.
But there is a risk with being an independent musician, and that is that you get so lost in your own freedom that you end up with a career that isn`t going anywhere.
Knowing I would fund the project myself, I felt that I would demonstrate more credibility to labels and other industry heavy-weights by investing in myself prior to asking them to invest.
