Rowan Martin interview
For the folks who peruse my blog who have not
heard of you, what is your name, where are you from, and how would best
describe your music style?
My name is
Rowan Martin. I am from deep, deep west London.I make pop music.
When did you first start getting into music?
I have
been writing songs since I was fourteen.
One of my first ones was called “Maria is a keyboard player”. It had my little
sister doing backing vocals on it. It’s probably out there somewhere , in the
deep web.
How would you describe your process of putting
a tune together?
I don’t
know much about technology so it’s very old-fashioned. Piano, guitar,
Dictaphone. I often save lyrics in the drafts section of my phone.
What do you enjoy more: Making music or playing
music, and why?
I
enjoy them equally I suppose.
I haven’t
started playing live yet so the making has been a priority. Last time I did a
gig I played in a white suit, it was pretty religious.
As a music listener, what 3 artists have
influenced you the most?
That’s tough.
Steely Dan would have to be the band. R Kelly would have to be the man. Chaka
Khan would have to be the woman.
Why does your music arouse such wanton sexual
impulses in the audience?
The bass.
What can we expect if we come to see one of
your gigs?
I'll be wearing a Sergio Tacchini tracksuit , there will be a lot of bad language. Loads of dancing and guitars solos and shout-outs.
What have you got lined up for the future?
More songs, more videos. I don't want to give too much away but the next song features some wind chimes..
