Q & A with fvzz
Q: Where does your artist name come from? A: fuzz and shorty/short ribs are my nicknames, but the whole “short” thing is so common.
Q: Tell us more about your musical roots! A: I really got into the rap-rock thing and bought a guitar at 12 so I could be just like my heroes. Bands I would join never really had any direction so I decided to forge my own path.
Q: How did you start producing music? A: Wanted some software to record guitar but then I got caught up messin’ with the loops that came with it.
Q: Are you also a DJ? A: Been mixing for a couple years now, but I can only play when friends invite me and I have free time.
Q: Do you work together with other artists also? E.g. Remixes? A: I’ve only done one formal remix so far for my pal DJKennethA. Other remixes can be found on my Soundcloud. Besides that, D Fyne Stylez has laid some lyrics on beats I’ve done, and those are also up on Soundcloud.
Q: Do you have any special musical aims? A: I would like to work with more emcees because I really like hip-hop. Also, when I finish school and take a year off, I’d like to start dj’ing Drum n Bass more.
Q: What do you think of the contemporary popular music which is played by normal radio stations? A: I don’t want to say all of pop music is bad, because oldies I like now were once considered pop. The problem is that it’s based on image much more than ever now, which is what really brings the music down.
Q: What have you read recently (book, play, film, etc.) that moved or surprised you? A: Been reading some Kafka comics and I’ve really enjoyed them.
Q: What is your all-time favorite track? Why? A: That’s too hard to answer! I have different ones for different genres.
Q: What's one thing you're a fan of that people might not expect? A: cycling, and soccer! |
