Sonic Bloom Artist Interviews

By Leave a Comment

I was lucky enough to be able to attend the beautiful and amazing festival that was Sonic Bloom this year. The whole event was a success even with a few hiccups along the way. Before I attended the event, I got to make a couple phone interviews with artists Govinda, Gaudi, David Starfire, and Michael Garfield.

 

Govinda specializes in electronic music incorporated with live viola:

I would like to personally thank each and every one of these artists for taking their time to have these discussions with me on behalf of FreioMusic. Thank you

Wanderlust Wednesday Presents Sebastian Blake

By Leave a Comment

Ladies…this one is for you. Sebastian Blake is a 22-year old singer/songwriter from the UK.  His smooth vocals, reminiscent of Michael Jackson and Prince, are beautifully matched with his acoustic sound.  Creating his niche in the London music scene playing on beaches and in local bars, this artist is exemplifies the passion and dedication it takes to make it. Sebastian harbors this breathtaking talent that is apparent in both his recordings and music videos. He calls his musical style, “an acoustical injection of rhythm and blues, soul, pop music.” Captivating and refreshingly distinctive, Sebastian is a true artist worth keeping a ear out for.
His much anticipated debut EP, “Milk’s a Luxury” will be released this summer.

Chris Ilett form Leicester, United Kingdom

Chris started playing music at the age of 12 and his thirst for music still isn’t quenched. Chris Illet’s tallent spans multiple instruments including guitar, vocals, bass, and a laptop.  His style: Rock.  His signiture: Vocals, which are comparable to the lead singer of Bush, Gavin Rossdale and Bob Dylan.  Bush is from London, coincidence?  I think Not.  Chris’s voice has a raspy weathered timbre. His distorted guitar solos tear through the backing instruments with clarity.  He discribes his sound as “Troubled, intense, [and] raw.” Sound appealing? Hear for yourself!

Stephan Meulen from the United Kingdom

Stefan Meulen has been in the music industry for years floating around genres and bands. Today Stefan is into the dub-electro scene with hints of house, and dance.   “My move into dub and breaks came after a long time performing with bands in different genres when I decided to write some solo material. I have been dj-ing dub for years now and have always loved the dub and ska sounds which have had such an influence in the british music scene since my childhood in the 70’s and 80’s so it seemed a natural progression to start producing dub myself”.

StefM (as he goes by on on Soundcloud) makes his music in his  “home studio near the sea in Yorkshire. Mainly my music is
 created on my PC and laptop using software but I try to fit some of my instruments in where I can, especially the more unusual ones such as the Dan Moi and Didgeridoo”.  Stefan’s ability to play acoustic instruments sets him apart from many DJ’s who only ‘play the computer’.  I asked stephan what age he started playing music at… “I am currently 37 but I performed my first gig as a rhythm guitarist in a heavy metal band at the age of 16 and I have drifted in and out of the music scene ever since.  I have been in a folk/punk band, played guitar and sung at acoustic nights and open mic slots, performed as a didgeridoo player and Dj’d Dub and Psy Trance at raves and free-parties”.

Without doubt, StefM has the sound that will move crowds.  I would like to get to see him play here in the USA someday soon.
