Interview with Vocalist in NYC
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My headphones, battery powered keyboard, a ton of batteries, my ukulele, back up headphones.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: My music career began when I was 8. I played viola for an orchestra having performed in Carnegie Hall when I was 17. I taught myself the concept of chords when I learned the ukulele on my own. I then transferred those skills to the piano when I was 18. I also began singing at the time. I enjoy the piano, but I strive to focus more on singing.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I myself write and sing a lot of acoustic music, since it's just me and my piano. But I enjoy topical house, and I enjoy working with EDM music.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Kygo, John Legend, Sam Smith. They're my inspirations.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Know the story behind the song, so you can sing it the way it's meant to be sung. A song is like a person. It has its own characteristics.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: So far, lots of EDM. Producers come to me either just for my vocals but also for me to write for them.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Energy and passion in the song
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Dynamics, I take pride in my high notes (falsetto), I have very high energy, so you'll feel the emotions in the parts that you want.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I'll send you demos from home until we agree on the feel of the song. I then take it to a professional studio to record my vocals naked along with some additional vocals for the producer to play around with.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a home studio where I record demos so that the producer and I can agree on the feel of the song before I go into a professional studio to record it.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Kygo, John Legend, Flume, Gavin Degraw, Sam Smith, John Mayer, Jai Wolf...
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I'm finishing up an electro track mixed with vocals right now. The track I wrote and recorded for before this one was more along the lines of tropical house. Both were fun to work on!
