Interview
1) If you could live in an other time which time would that be and what kind of person would you be?
I had a hard time deciding which would be preferable so I will give you two answers. I would be most interested to go back in time to understand more on my ancestory. On one side, I would be my ancestor, Napoleon Bonaparte. I would want to use my intelligence with courage for what I believed in. I would want to show my country and its people dedication and love. I have grown up pondering what it was like for him and so it would interest me greatly to be able to see for myself, through his eyes. On the other side I am Native American and I would love to have lived when the land was still wilderness in any direction you went. I would want to be a wise person because wisdom often meant life or death in those days- more so than now in my opinion. I would want to live with a sense of hope for future generations, and pride in my ancestors before me.
2) You are recording your debut album at the moment. How diffrent will those new songs be from your old recordings?
I think that they are very different. For one thing I have more confidence now as a singer and songwriter. I allow myself to really let the emotion lead the song. With with the old recordings, I was too embarrassed to really let go and growl if the emotion called for it.
3) Which of your songs are you most proud of and why?
I am proud of all of my songs for different reasons, but one for my new album, "La Luna", I am espesially proud of because I feel it conveys emotions that before I was too afraid to confront. It has many layers which weave together and so I am also proud of how the compostion flows.
4) Where do you get your inspitation for songs?
I get inspiration from things that happen directly to me, things I observe, and things I read about. I am always reading books to help me think of things from other perspectives.
5) Are there any subjects that you would really like to right about?
I would like to write about subjects that are full of passion and often by defination of passion, controversial. I never want to write a trite song. Right now, social issues are becoming more of an interest than ever. I am also interested in writing about the personal things that society tries to shut away. Everyone needs to open those doors at some point.
