As a new fan, I'd like to know what are your main influences.

Books, movies and games have huge impact on my music and lyrics. In terms of bands and composers; Blind Guardian, Savatage, Shadow Gallery, Megadeth, Iron Maiden are some to mention. I also adore classical composers and modern ones like Dvorak, Gregson-Williams, Zur.

New Maegi coming out early 2015? :)

Not early but late 2015. Autumn or winter time =). It takes time and lots of economic planning to finish an album =). The songs are somewhat ready though.

I'm a huge Circle II Circle fan and I noticed a good influence of it in Maegi album, which Zak was invited. Do you think in inviting more musicians that influence in your music?

I believe my influence comes more from the Savatage side, something Circle II Circle feeds from as well. So the musical similarities are obvious. Zak was an all time favorite singer of mine, so it was a huge honor to have him perform.
For the next album, I am hoping to have some interesting names as well but it depends on various factors to feature an artist like time constraints, expenses, etc. Therefore, I cannot tell who will be performing on Maegi II: Tales From the King's Court yet. But having people I adore to perform my songs is something that would never get old in my book =).
