Right now it's just me and my guitar. I'd love to get a bassist and a drummer to at least join me, or I'd be willing to do backup guitar and vocals for someone else. I've only been playing since the beginning of 2008, but I love it and I've written several songs. I hope you like what you hear.
Why this name?
Ich bin der reizvolle Affekonig. (I am the sexy monkey king.)
Do you play live?
Only for my friends. I did a gig once when I wasn't very good yet and it was a terrible experience! I'm not sure if I'll do any more in the near future.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It opens up a lot of people to opportunities they wouldn't normally have, but it also floods the industry with poor artists and increases piracy.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If I were good enough to, I suppose I would, but I'd definitely have to proceed with caution. I won't sell my music if it means my ideals are sacrificed.
Your influences?
My plethora of experiences and my friends have a huge impact on my music. I wouldn't say that any particular artists really influence my work. I hear a tune in my head and I write it down with some lyrics. The first song I wrote (Not My Love Song) was to help me get over a girl.
Favorite spot?
I love Seattle! Other than that, I'm not terribly well-traveled.
Equipment used:
My acoustic and a microphone right now. I'm hoping to get an electric soon. I may commission one made by an amazing artist I know. I'll have to see if he's willing to do it.
Anything else...?
I'm a pretty green artist and I'm always up to learning new things and taking advice. Any tips and comments are readily welcome.
