ZERBIE:For about 13 years



SANDY: How did you discover SL? what brought you inworld?ZERBIE:My friend saw an infomercial on tv about being able to make a living on second life. So called me and told me about it, so i created an avatar Zerbie(what my mom calls me). I then discovered that people can perform in Second Life but then my mission change. I now became interested in singing then anything else.



SANDY: Did you ever think to use your real name for what you usually do in Second Life?
ZERBIE:I do share my real name "Roserbie Theoc" with those who come to my show at times. I'm not only an sl singer but I also sing in rl as well. And i'd like to stay connected to my fans where ever I go.



SANDY:Can you describe your experience in SL:what did you like to do when you were not playing? Do you like to go to live music events or to art exhibits?
ZERBIE: I love meeting people, I definitely love shopping for anything and everything:it's just amazing to see what's created by all these talented people. Everything in sl is art to tell you the truth. But I do catch my friends performing as well like TB Andel, Maximillion Kleene, Maxx Sabertooth, PM Bookmite, and others.



SANDY:What  influenced you to get your to where you are today musically?ZERBIE:I remember the first time seeing Whitney Houston performing" I wanna dance with Somebody". I said I want to be just like her...and then my journey began.



SANDY:Do you think SL could be a valid showcase for your RL works?
ZERBIE: I definitely do, because I'm reaching people that would take a bit more work and funds to reach, I have fans all over the world. And when my album comes out it won't just be released in rl but also in sl:and these people are real no matter how you see it.

SANDY:How would you describe your style?ZERBIE:hmmm lol I'm a producers nightmare i'm a bit all over the place. I would say pop contemporary/world.


SANDY:What are the sources of your inspiration?
ZERBIE:Life experiences and just an imagination of maybe what i'd want to happen.

SANDY: Do you have a cd released yet?ZERBIE:Not yet I'm working on my first album now Titled "Second Life Second Chance" which was given to me by one of my Zer Bee fans. I plan on also releasing the first song on November 12. So look out for that!
