Kamil) Hey band w/o band , super nice to have the chance to chat with you. What first got you into music?
I am playing guitar since I was in school. I was always keen to play rock songs I knew and I wanted to play in a band. So, at school I founded a school band with some of my friends and we started to make music. Later, after school, I founded another band with guys I didn't knew at that time, but we all had the same idea of where to go musically.
What jobs have you done other than being an artist?
With 17 I left my parents home and I moved into an apartment with a friend. From that time on I was always working to finance my music and life. I was working in bars, as a door-man, sales and much other positions.
Your latest song is 'The World Is On Fire'. Can you tell us more about the making of it and if there were any unusual things happening during the process?
The song has been written during Corona and the first lockdowns. That's speak for it selves I guess.
What do you dislike about the art world?
I like art but art is very special in terms of feeling it personally. So there are things I like and dislike.
Describe a real-life situation that inspired you?
There are so many situations who inspire me personally. I can be a situation, a tone, a melodie, or something else.
What accomplishments do you see yourself achieving in the next five to 10 years?
My next target is to step out of the world as a single artist and to find suitable guys who are sharing the same kind of musically passion like me.
What’s your scariest experience?
As a ex-doorman there is nothing that really can scary me.
How would you describe the music that you typically create?
I would describe my music as a kind of melodic rock and new metal.
Have you ever taught or mentored another musician?
I tried. I have a friend who would love to sing but he struggles with the whole technical aspects of making music these days. So I tried to teach and to mentor but I failed because he was too lazy.
What are your plans for the future?
Going on stage with a band and to haver fun and of course to continue to write good songs.
