 Music Artist interview about there music culture, People who are interested in music and  listen to music, usallly  listen to the type of music that expresses there feeling. My song are about how i feel at the moment or what i've been through in my life. It easier for me to express because i know more about it. just like how we have a new favorite song, each week or month, we choice that song of how it relates to us and our emotions. people can tell how there feeling, by a song, wether they are really happy, sad, mad, or frustrating. when I  find our favorite music, I like  and wish to become like them,  people  culture are influenced by music.

What does culture mean to you? Describe your culture. How important is it to you and your family?

- cultures are the way of life. it makes us who we are and how we live. It has a huge impacts in the way you think and how your day are different. i don't have a specific culture, its a typical american culture. i celebrate holidays like christmas, halloween, thanksgiving, 4th of july.  i dress what every i feel like, or whatever comes out in season.  i listen american bands, which have the interments like guitar vocalist, bass,  drums. in america you are open to my types of culture, living in america kind of makes you apart of every culture. you get to see they people live and how they are different.

 my video is about who I am and thing I care about.  I love animals and because of that I want to help them.  It shows things that i do  like running and that I don't like materialistic things and enjoys earth for what it is. I believe that nature is one of the most beautiful things in the world. people don't appreciate the things we have and all they want is more . My video shows things that people normally don't know about me. It  also show my technology skills and how experience I am with computers.

                             Identifying yourself, is one of the hardest questions to answer, because people have many different identities that nobody know about.  I am italian, german and 1 percent norweegen, but i never countied that. My mom was adopted into a close family when her parents died. she lost all contact with her brothers , when she stayed with her new family in long island. when she got a job in new york, she met my father and we moved to long island, when I turn two we moved to staten island to be closer to my dad family and job. I grew up as a catholic. things i like to do in my spare time is sing draw and write my own poems and lyrics. i would love to persuve singing or modeling as my future job,but to be realistic i like to work with animals. i'd like to save abuse and stray animals off the street.  I love nature , like the wind ,tree , grass and flowers. I could not live without music. i listen to everything but my favorite is rock, sublime, hollywood undead,the beatle, the who, linkin park,limpbizkit,queen, and system of a down. these are all great band that imspire my interest in music. I think musics makes us who we are.  I am not materialist ,and  I don't care what clothes I wear , my hair, how tan, or what shoes , jewlery  or  with anybody else looks likes. peoples have different way of looking nice and  define who they are.
