Interviews on the go.
Classic Rock Legend Brian May
- “looking back the most surprising thing I learned was how much persistence it takes. The music industry is tough, and success doesn’t come overnight. You have to keep pushing through the setbacks.”
- “our music definitely evolved over the course of us being together. In the beginning it was all about raw energy and simple riffs. As we made more music though we incorporated more complex arrangements and lyrical depth, sometimes reflecting our own life experiences."
- “to new young musicians, I’d say stay true to your vision and don’t get discouraged by the people around you, focus on your ideas and your creativity while connecting with your audience genuinely."
Punk Rock with The Clash
- “punk rock is about rebellion against the norm. today it means standing up for what you believe in and using your voice to challenge injustices
- “we stayed true to our roots by keeping that raw energy alive in our music, but also experimenting with new sounds to keep our music relevant.
- “the current state of punk has its ups and downs, but I see a lot of young bands pushing boundaries, which is exciting. The spirit of punk is very much still alive
Female rock icon Avril Lavigne
- “as a female rock artists, I’ve faced challenges like being underestimated or having my talent questioned. I overcame them by proving myself through my music and supporting other women in the industry.
- “my biggest influences are artists like Shania Twain and Natalie Imbruglia. They showed me the power of authenticity and being unapologetically yourself.
- “I hope my music conveys strength and resilience for all the young girls listening. I want my fans to feel empowered and know they can overcome anything
Rock Music Producer Brian Eno
- “I look for passion and originality in an artist. If they have a unique sound and clear vision, I’m interested in working with them.
- “a memorable experience was working with David Bowie producing the ‘Berlin’ trilogy. With last minute changes in direction, we ended up creating something completely unexpected that turned out to be one of their best tracks.
- “technology has changed everything. It allows for more experimentation and accessibility, but I think its important to maintain the human element in music production.
