Today, we sat down with Farewell Fortune to talk music inspiration, heroes and much more! Be sure to check out the music of Farewell Fortune below on Spotify after the interview!
Interview:
What is your inspiration to write your music? Is it your
surroundings?
The inspiration comes from all the events of my life. There is so much we
experience, one could write probably ten albums at least from it. Surroundings will always
play a part. Once an idea comes to me, I write some lyrics and let them sit for a while until
they match what the music is.
What type of music did you listen to growing up?
I was raised listening to country, pop, and rock. Rock has always been my first love.
Bands like Van Halen, Heart, and Led Zeppelin are big influences.
Is there someone you looked up as a hero?
Heroes to me are anyone that is willing to sacrifice for the greater good. Society seems
to have lost its focus on what really signifies a hero. It can be anyone at any time doing the
right thing.
If you weren’t a musician, what would you be doing today?
I already work full time and have my family responsibilities. Music to me is a passion and
something I take great pride in creating.
What advice do you have for our fans out there that want to create
music?
The only person you need to impress in this business is yourself. Write music because
you want to tell your story. Write music because you believe in the art of self expression.
If you’re in music just for the fame, you’re not being honest with yourself or your fans.
