Today, we sat down with the band Seeker Pearl to talk inspiration to write music, heroes and much more! Be sure to check out Seeker Pearl on Spotify right after the interview below!
Interview:
What is your inspiration to write your music? Is it your
surroundings?
A lot of our songs come from a place of feeling rather than a place of thinking. We usually isolate a feeling that is present in the moment and write based on that vibe.
What type of music did you listen to growing up?
Our influences range genres and eras – some notable bands that had a huge impact on us are Pink Floyd, Pantera, Slayer, Children of Bodom, Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Soungarden, Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, Massive Attack, Portishead, Architects, etc.
Is there someone you looked up as a hero?
My hero’s have always been people who could think differently, or creatively imagine, then bring to reality, those thoughts. People who can create beyond the limitation of the current time. People that come to mind are Davinci, Tesla, Einstein.
If you weren’t a musician, would you be doing today?
One of the great things about being in a band – versus just creating music on your own for yourself – is that it offers lots of outlets for creativity, and you’re always working on different creative things. For us that’s working on merch designs, videos, album covers, show posters etc. We think of everything as a skill that can be learned. If it wasn’t music it would be some other creative pursuit.
What advice do you have for our fans out there that want to create
music?
Don’t worry about the gear – just worry about the songs. Don’t compare yourself to other people, just do what feels right to you.
