Today, we sit down with Jawfane to discuss their inspiration to write music, type of music growing up, and much more! Be sure to check out the music of Jawfane on Spotify below after the interview.
Interview:
What is your inspiration to write your music? Is it your surroundings?
It’s a tangible need to express feelings that language can’t fully convey. The feeling in your gut when you listen to music that spreads to your skin and makes your whole body tingle. Just that inner feeling that tugs you along to the right path, what could make this what it can be.
What type of music did you listen to growing up?
I listened to a lot of classic rock, and was exposed to several genres while playing games. It led me to want to investigate more on fusion genres. It’s so cool to me how influence carries far and wide. Someone may have heard some disco drums and a bassline and used their love for that to influence their playing in a metal band or something. Wild. But it was a lot of rock and DnB.
Is there someone you looked up to as a hero?
No. There’s never been anyone so outstandingly special as to be viewed as a hero. It made me think when a man said that we don’t really have any heroes anymore. Many are fictional. I see more and more people every day utilize it as a way that helps them in their own way. That’s fine if it elevates you, but I do wonder if there are still heroes left in man. I think that there are, but they are more commonfolk than one would think. It’s actions smaller than something so grand as a rescue.
If you weren’t a musician, what would you be doing today?
A Director/Writer of movies. I always wanted to be able to get the hang of transferring an idea or a vision into a medium, and movies always seemed a culmination of several different mediums. Would’ve been arduous and laborious and probably so many different kinds of agony and fun.
What advice do you have for our fans out there that want to create
Music?
You’re at a point in history where making music is easier than ever. There’s so much free software out there that there’s really no excuse, only a lack of motivation. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow, start today. Even if it’s just setting up a daw or something, you can start writing things down. Do it digitally, physically, but don’t just keep it all in your head, or it will die there as well. It’s well within your reach. You got this. I believe in you, and I love you
