Hey there everyone, here's my interview with Allo B. who sat down with me to discuss her musical origins.
How'd you get started in music?
From a very young age, I displayed a passion for music, starting with the violin at
the age of six. By the time I was twelve, I was already composing my own songs
on the piano and writing poems. My musical journey took diverse paths, from
playing electric guitar in punk and black metal bands to performing with a
philharmonic orchestra on the violin. At the age of sixteen I took formal singing
lessons and learned pop and classical singing techniques. Drawing from my
experiences in various musical genres, I began producing my own music, weaving
together elements of my background.
Who are your inspirations or influences?
I cannot name Bands or Artists here, of course there are too many to mention. For
me its mostly lyrics I read, maybe just a word or a phrase. Sometimes it’s some
notes I hear, a beautiful piano line, a hook or maybe just a sound. I love to scroll
through new artists and listen to their music and to see them performing, trying to
understand how they write and see music. When I start to write I always have a
vision of the song, but it never turns out the way I intended it. The result is always
better than what I thought of haha.
What advice would you offer aspiring performers?
Always stay true to yourself and never give up on your dreams. Take advice, but
follow your intuition and always just do what you absolutely love!! Don’t compare
yourself to others, you’re unique and special and perfect, the way you are!
How do you set yourself apart from other bands or singers?
I’ve always been a Gothic Girl since I’m a teenager. But I also always listened to
almost every kind of music and I’m coming from classical music. Mixing dark tunes
and lyrics with classical elements, adding electronic sounds and experimenting with
different sounds and vocals, wrapped up in standard song structures is what sets
myself apart from others, I guess. But in the end I’m writing music, that I love to
listen to.
How would you say that music has inspired/made an impression on you?
Music has always been my language. It’s my happy place, my cure for pain, my
daily world to go to. It never disappoints me, it always surprises me and carries me
into my perfect space. Whether I listen or I’m writing and recording, it’s always
inspiring and impressing me in the same way. When I was a kid I could only listen
to vinyls, mostly opera or music for kids. This wasn’t my favorite, but I loved to listen
to it as often as possible. I cannot imagine a day without music.
Any new gigs or albums in the future?
Yeah!! My first full Album „Allo.B My Name“ is being released soon in autumn. The
first Single „Pretty“ is released on September 05. Some amazing collaborations are
also coming. So stay tuned, there’s some good stuff coming.
Special thanks to them for this interview & I wish her lots of luck in his music so until then I'll catch you on The Flipside! Stay frosty & rock n roll!
