Story

I started the ebvoice cover lab project a couple years ago. Producing (vocals, instruments, mixing, and more) mostly Beatles covers, with plenty of other of my favorite artists in between. This is my hobby. This is my mid-life crisis. This is my sanity.

What is music to you? What does it give you?

Life. I feel it.

What is your music dream?

To sing with George Harrison in the afterlife.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

Let's target child hunger first.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

Puff the Magic Dragon

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

The Beatles

What inspires you to make music?

A need to give something back. And put a song in people's heads. Earworm generation.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

Relax. Take a break from 10 meetings a day. Enjoy a song or two with people you love. Or take some time alone and hop inside your headphones.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

A wave of calm followed by a rush of cold adrenaline followed by anxiety about multi-tasking followed by a sense of accepting fate.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

Lots of mass produced meh across most genres. More indie artists need more exposure. It's a rare thing to find an artist with a new or different sound, something that doesn't fit an existing formula.

What do you think of Drooble?

I think the karma concept, similar to Reddit's, is a strange and a little patronizing for a revenue stream, but I wish the folks behind the site luck.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Dropping my pick in my acoustic and trying to fish it out for 30 minutes.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

Not really.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

Have money. Have talent and/or looks. If not, build a talent and learn more about genetic engineering. Understand basic marketing concepts, including how to build your brand. Have a fundamental grasp of social media sites. Find a producer, agent, or other type of representative who will actively sell you and can promote your brand across multiple social media sites. Get a really large speaker, find a group of people, and play your music.

Share some awesome artists that we’ve never heard of.

I don't know you, nor the artists you've heard of. Let's talk later, my coffee's ready.
