Prisma Interview
1.What inspired your passion for music and who has been there supporting you from the beginning?
We each had different inspirations, we think the biggest influence we have are all the bands of the 90s, we are sons of the alternative movement from the USA 90s, and a little bit from the British pop alternative scene. It was a period where music was exciting and inspired us to start learning to play instruments, while listening to rock music.
2. How do you feel about people downloading music rather then buying physical copies?
We think that there was a time in the 60s and 70s when music was on vinyl; it was about gaining an experience. Now with the Internet people are in so many different styles of music that it is more about consuming music.
3.How do you feel about the music industry today?
The music industry today is about going to a bank, borrowing money, making your record and the rest is on your own.
4.Where do you see yourself five years from now?
Having done at least 2 records, on tour and creating more fans everyday.
5. Do you think singer/songwriters are the best interpreters of their own work or do you believe some cover versions can be better then the original?
In some cases covers are better than the original, but it is a matter of taste.
6.Who have you always dreamt of working with and why? How would you go about accomplishing this?
Gavin Rossdale from the band BUSH. He has a lot of influence on our music. Honestly, we don’t think we will ever meet him and we’re not thinking about it, because we have so much to do, but if we ever meet him, then we would love to do a cover of one of his song with him.
7.As you are starting out your career in the music industry what steps do you plan on taking to reach your goal?
Playing every gig we can, recording new songs and hoping our fan base will grow.
8.Have you found that as you are starting out your career in the music industry there are aspects that have taken you completely by surprise. If so, what are they?
The surprise is that the business side of the game takes lots of time.
9. What is the greatest thing about working in the music industry? And what would you change if you had the opportunity?
The greatest thing is that with the Internet you can promote your music everywhere. We would give the underground bands more access to promotion.
10.If you could have asked anyone for advice when you were starting out. Who would you have liked to ask?
What would you have liked to ask?
What would be your answer now?
We would have asked Matthew Bellamy from MUSE how to do the promotion for an alternative rock band? Play the most you can.
11.From your experience in the entertainment industry what advice could you offer people looking to get where you are today?
Focus on the music, develop your style and sound, have a visual that is aligned with your music and never take yourself seriously while taking your work seriously.
12. What courses/classes would you recommend someone take if they want to be a professional in the music industry?
If you can afford music classes, go for it, it is always good to have knowledge, but if you believe that listening and creating music is enough, than go for it.
13.How many years were you fighting to get to where you are today and what was that time in your life like?
We were struggling for 3 years. We still have time for nothing else but music.
14.From your experience so far, what have you found to be most challenging? And how are you dealing with it?
To stand out from the crowd, because now there are so many people playing music, that you have to really stand out and at the same time play the music you like.
15.Share with us your proudest moment in your career so far?
The release of our first EP, which allowed us to go on national radio, making interviews and playing acoustic gigs.
