SZ: Artists
are always compared to each other especially when you're new to the
industry, as such what do you think makes you standout?
JD: The message of my music is what sets me apart. It's
a message of faith, hope and love that hopefully will touch and inspire
people.
SZ: Describe
your music and the demographics you hope to reach.
JD: My music is definitely rock, ‘Rock with heart and
attitude’. I think it has a wide appeal, but I definitely want
to communicate with my peers and let them know they are not alone.
SZ: What
do you think is the most important aspect of your music?
JD: Again, I would have to say the message. I hope
people walk away touched by something they heard.

“I want to touch hearts.
I want to show people who I am.
Because to me, whether I sell 1 million records or just
1 record, it doesn’t matter as long as I touch one heart.”

SZ: What
would you say is more important 'celebrity hype' or 'true musical
appreciation and talent'?
JD: Definitely appreciate and talent! Hype is nothing
more than marketing. True talent lasts forever.
SZ: Who
do you think is the most misunderstood or misrepresent artist/band in
the current music scene?
JD: I think that Britney Spears is misunderstood, but that is
the way she represents herself. I don't think that she understands
herself, which distorts everyone's image of her. She knows what
she is doing, but is that
really her? I think she has a great heart, and I wish she would
show more of it.
SZ: Do
you plan to venture onto other entertainment fields?
JD: I have been in numerous independent films and commercials
for MTV and Lifetime. It was a big part of my past and I would
love for it to be a part of my future as well.
SZ: Fame often follows tabloid garb and invasion of privacy, how
much of it have you endured so far and what are your thoughts on the
matter in general?
JD: I haven't faced a lot of it yet. With paparazzi and
stuff like that, I think that there is a point where the public has to
respect your privacy. But I don't have much to hide.
