If you had to describe yourself in 3 words, what would they be?
Trustworthy.  Transparent.  Faithful.

Is music something that you always wanted to do?
Forever.  Music has been a love of mine for as long as I can remember.  I can't imagine doing anything else.

If you weren't in the entertainment business, what would you be doing?
I've never had a passion for anything like I do music.  But it would probably be something freaky like forensic science.

What are some of your long-term goals?
I just want to be happy and successful.  And I want to perform in Hawaii!

How would you describe your music?
It's rock.  With heart & attitude.

Your CD was just released. Did you do anything special for the release?
Actually, a limited edition EP has just been released, but my full CD will be out next summer.  We were on the road when the EP released, so we just had a quiet dinner with friends.

What is a typical day like for you?
I wake up, I do school work for a few hours, have lunch with a few of my friends, and then go exercise.

You've met quite a few stars, such as Nick Carter and Michelle Branch. Did you ever get star struck?
Normally I don't get star struck, but when I met Michelle Branch, I was a huge dork and ended up asking her if she got a haircut. hehe

You appeared on the World News Tonight 9/11 tribute special. How was that?
It was an incredible opportunity.  Being from NY, and knowing people that were directly affected by the events of 9/11, I felt truly blessed to be a part of it.

What's been the best show you've played so far?
It seems like they get better every time, but my favorite show was this past week in Madison, TN.  Everything just came together perfectly.

If you could perform with one artist, who would it be and why?
Michelle Branch.  She's a great performer and her voice is flawless.

Do you have any tips or "tools of the trade" for aspiring singers, looking to make it in the music industry?
True artistry comes from within.  Follow your heart and make beautiful music.

Last but not least, do you have a message to your fans?
Be yourself and do it on purpose!  Trust in God above all else.

Thanks for your time!
