Hey there guys DJ Dizzy here & here's my interview with the band FirexNight
How'd you get started in music?
- my dad was big into music and it was always a pretty big deal
To me but really started to get into writing in high school playing music with friends
- funny story, I am very into classic rock as you’ll see below, when I was growing my dad would let me choose the radio station but I could only pick between Christian music and classic rock radio so I would pick classic rock every time so that’s where my love of older rock music started
Who are your inspirations or influences?
- I really like all flavors of rock music to some extent, love pop and hip hop too but some big influences for me are:
- Van Halen
- Blink-182
- Fleetwood Mac
- the Beatles
- the killers
- 1975
- Def Leppard
And then some more non rock acts I like to throw flavors of in there to spice things up:
- Carley Rae Jensen
- Charlie XcX
- Nelly
- Lil Jon/Dr Dre from a production standpoint cause they do great work
- lady Gaga/ Taylor swift
Really if I had to condense my music down I’d say it’s 70s-80s popular rock bands + 2000s pop punk + a pinch of 2010s girl pop are the primary eras I’m gunning for
What advice would you offer aspiring performers?
- I’m actually working on a YouTube series sort of about making music at home and tips and tricks for beginners —-
- I would say though “music production is songwriting” is the biggest thing, your music is only as good as the final mix so getting comfortable mixing and mastering is big, and also once you get better at that stuff it can elevate your song writing game. I’m still not amazing at producing my own music but took some time to learn how to do it better and it’s made a world of difference so that would be my top option. you don’t have to wait around for someone to notice your talent and produce songs for you if you can do it yourself!
How do you set yourselves apart from other bands or singers?
- I think I have an ear for fun catchy music - it’s a lot to ask people to try a new band out I know that myself so I try to make music that leaves you in a good mood and is memorable, I try to put a lot of easily memorable parts for audience so they can pick up on the songs quick etc
Any new gigs or albums in the future?
- working on a full Album! “Dive Bar” planning 10-12 songs for it and hope to be done in 2024! Will be on Spotify and SoundCloud and apple etc!
