Veles advises upcoming artist,
“Make a budget behind your music and take what ever opportunities you can. Dont doubt yourself as success is right in front of you. You just have to jump off the porch and get it majority of successful people made it by taking risk and gambles instead of just being negative and doubting your self. Have confidence in every decision you make and scared money dont make money, pay for promo and ad campaigns. Build a merch stock and book as many shows as you can get your hands on the top is just a opportunity away. You have to take control and actually make the effort to go forward.”

“My favorite song i have two outta my most release music of the album path of the pagans. They would have to be Demons and Drown which go hand in hand with each other these are probably my most meaningful track i have made. It speaks on true feelings. You can hear the pain in these songs and just the realness of the emotion. We have many more to come but those are my favorites to date at this time.”
