Interview with James Horn
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Have I ever thought about getting my lyrics professionally recorded for a demo? Yes but why when I want to become good at that area of the music production process as well.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I have lyrics that are licensed that I just publish and they are previewed and licensed if someone so chooses. No main stream clientele yet, sorry to disappoint.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: 1)My smartphone with or without service. 2) lighter because i have no idea on making a fire from scratch 3) tent because again not going to have a great makeshift shelter if I construct it. 4) Steinway grand piano 5) fishing pole to hopefully prevent starvation
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Dont have the accolades to give anyone advice. If I have learned anything it is to take many little breaks to rest and reset your ears.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
