1. How long have you been making music?

10 years.

2.  Do you find it easier to get your music out there with the introduction of the Internet? Do you think it’s more successful to post your music free on the Internet or to try to sign with a record label?

yes, record label

3. How do you feel about illegal downloading?

It’s a broad topic since you can download radio shows or podcast for free. Its good for publicity but financially damaging to the artist

4. How do you feel about giving out free music?

Don’t Like it. Free distribution creates a lot of noise in that theres no real quality assurance with all the tracks that are thrown out there.

5. Do you think sharing music is wrong? (hulkshare, mediafire, zippy)

Yeah

6. What websites do you use?

Itunes, Any non-files-haring website, legitimate vendors that are credible

7. Do you think it’s easier now or ten years ago to make it in the music business?

It depends on your definition of making it, its pretty much the same game as it was but it allows for a lot of independent artist to “make it” in a smaller way

8. What do you think the Internet’s impact on the music industry is?

Major exposure of the 1% of real musicians, it’s also a gateway and a host for a-lot of smaller less legitimate artists to kind of make a lot of useless noise with lower quality music.
