What inspired you to launch your own website?
I wanted to share my music with the world!
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
About 2 years ago I launched my myspace music page. It started slow ar first but recently has been receicing many views.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
Because I wanted to express that I am trying to get my ideas out to the world.

Most songs these days are about love or money, but my music is about war and the impact it has on the world.

To get as many people as I can to listen to my music. To help inspire people to seek other solutions to their problems other than violence.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
So far my success has been in live performances and I wish to transfer this to online success so that I may reach more people in different parts of the world.

Perhaps postage of the product has cost more than I originally thought but this can be made up with greater sales.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Getting the right audience to visit my site.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?

How has running your website differed from your expectations?
I didn't really have many expectations at the beginning, but it has surpassed them.

The site has been going for a year or so and I intend to run the site indefinetly.
