The Interview

TF: When did you start getting into music?!

DF: It all started when I was in highschool. When I was 16 years old, I wanted to learn the guitar, so my uncle showed me the ropes. I have learned step-by-step when I was young, and performed at my first event in high school called the Black and White Show. Ever since I got a taste of the spotlight, I kept wanting more and more, and joined the jazz band in Grade 10. I also have two of my own bands.

TF: What motivates you to pursue a career in the music industry?

DF: The connection I have with my students and the connection I have with creativity. I find a great joy in creating and collaborating with other people in regards to creating music. You can learn from them and apply it to your own palette. The excitement of performing under the spotlight in front of lots of people and teaching guitar to kids brings great joy to my heart.

TF: What does a typical day look like for you?

DF: My day is pretty simple; usually I would get up in the morning, have either a cup of coffee or a glass of water. Than, I will take a shower and go through my weekly schedule and see what needs to be done. I'd usually reply to emails if I get any, and than if I'm scheduled to work evening shifts, I would go to work. Sometimes after work, I would either come home, go out if it's not too late, or I'd have band practice.

TF: What are the pros and cons of pursuing a career in the music industry?

DF: There is always a lot of people who say that there is no money in music, and it's hard to make it. Well, I disagree, and here are the pros: If you specialize in an instrument such as the guitar, ukulele, keys, drums, bass, etc., you can be a music teacher for many companies or host your own private lessons. You can also do marketing for future artists or existing artists by doing posters, videos, or even photography.

The cons are: getting yourself out there as an artist and getting people to notice you. This can be hard, because from my experiences with my band, you would need to bring people to your shows in order to actually earn something, thats why it’s important to find shows that pay upfront. Commitment and consistency is key, you have to make, make, and keep making music, and reveal it to the public for people to notice you. Especially in a band, you have to make sure everyone is onboard, and show up to practice and shows in order to make something happen.

TF: What type of instruments do you use? Which one is your favourite?

DF: The primary instrument I use is the guitar, and I also rap. Besides rapping and playing the guitar, I also play keys, bass, and the ukulele. My favourite instrument is the guitar, but I also enjoy playing the keyboard. My keyboarding skills are very basic, but something about the sound catches my ear! It has a really nice, soft sound, and you can manipulate in anyway you want. With rap for me, it's a different experience altogether. It brings out more of creativity, because I would make my own beats, lyrical ideas, and comprise them into a song. Also, even when I am writing my lyrics, it comes from deep place. I mainly talk about things that has happened in my life, world problems, or whatever basically comes to mind.

TF: What are you favorite music genres?

DF: The type of music I play is classic rock (on guitar) and rap (voice). Classic rock is an old genre of music, but still lots of people would recognize the artist and bands, as well as amazing, catchy riffs in the song. A lot of people in there 30's, 40's and 50s would listen to this kind of music, but surprisingly people our age do as well. Rap to me is a completely different style from classic rock, but I like the sounds of the 808 bass that is provided in the songs and the lyrical flow, riffs and runs, and content being presented in the song.

TF: Anything interesting you want to share?

DF: My best advice is follow your heart and listen to your inner voice. For me, it was music and I followed that voice no matter what other people have said to me. You are only going to be happy if you do what makes you happy, so strive for greatness, and you will meet loads of people on your journey who’ll accept you for you and want to follow the path you’re on.
