| Review Fix chats with singer/songwriter Adam Wedd, who discusses his origin in music, goals for the future and new single. Review Fix: How did you get involved in music? Adam Wedd: It was New years Eve 1992 and I stood at the bottom of the stairs after an epic family New Years Eve party. I asked my mum and dad for music lessons as I’d be really into watching Slash of Guns and Roses play with Michael Jackson. So naturally, they bought me a Keytar and then I started learning classical piano. Review Fix: What’s your creative process like? Wedd: I’m writing most days, recording ideas into my phone. That’s the art of the writing. Then I must set out some time to go back and listen and flesh out the ideas. Sometimes the ideas come fully formed but mostly they come in bits and peaces. I enjoy writing songs so much. Especially during lockdown I’ve been loving writing with people from all over the world from the comfort of my own tiny studio. Review Fix: What inspires you? Wedd: Great conversation, music that tells a story that expresses humanity. Sunrises, Sunsets, great food, children learning.  Review Fix: What does music mean to you? Wedd: Music is the soundtrack to life, the great comforter . As well as being deep and emotional music can also be fun and ecstatic, I LOVE that! I’m also partial to many 90’s pop songs. Spice Girls and S Club 7 are some of my faves.  Review Fix: How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard you? Wedd: A British bloke making noises, sometimes singing sometimes half rapping, often in between cups of tea.  Review Fix: How are your live shows different from your studio work? Wedd: My live shows vary from having lots of special guests to sometime just being me with a guitar or piano. I’ve got some great live show ideas stretching the realm of my genres as soon as we are allowed to start performing again. Review Fix: What inspired your latest single? Wedd: The Smooth & the Rough is about journeying with someone close to you, during the best and the worst times. It’s about weathering life, together. My parents, my grandparents and my sisters particularly inspire me for this. They all are people I look up to and respect when it comes to learning how to relate to and treat people.  Review Fix: What are your goals for the rest of 2020? Wedd: To make sense of all the 600 song demos on my phone. To release a new EP, to keep releasing Spotify singles every 6 – 8 weeks and to safely play live music again for a live audience, in the flesh, socially distanced of course.  Review Fix: What’s next? Wedd: Well, I write this at 00:30 at a large South London Studio, I’m a little sleepy, so I may take a nap under the desk. But then this week? I plan on making soup, doing some yoga then stating work on a bunch of new songs with which I plan on taking over the music world in 2021. |
