Review Fix chats with singer/songwriter Spizzenegi discusses his origin in music and more.
Review Fix: How did you get involved in music?
Spizzenegi: How does anyone get involved with anything, be it music or art or even football – simple you get involved that’s how.
Review Fix: What’s your creative process like?
Spizzenegi: I don’t set aside a special time of day or place. Ideas simply pop up and hopefully I’m able to make a note or record. Nowadays with modern technology like my phone, instant ideas can be noted – that is the creative process.
Review Fix: What inspires you in music and on a daily basis ?
Spizzenegi: Whatever gets me excited or angry or emotionally moved. It’s what gets me to take out a pen or to start making notes, or my pencil to draw, or collecting images to make a new image.
Review Fix: What does music mean to you?
Spizzenegi: It means growing up with the memories attached to feelings that music can generate. Imagination & daydreaming, as only music can inspire.
Review Fix: How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard you?
Spizzenegi: Well that would just be a comparison list and to be fair to other artists, I wouldn’t want to do that. To compare what is unique can only distort your perception. Also, if one was to compare a track to a certain band, then you could end up listening to a track by that band, that’s from a completely different period & therefore prove to be irrelevant.
Review Fix: How are your live shows different from your studio work?
Spizzenegi: They are three dimensional, louder plus exciting & entertaining.
Review Fix: What was the inspiration to record a version of Bowie’s Valentine’s Day for your latest single?
Spizzenegi: We had a Bowie Convention gig a few months ahead coming up & we decided we’d add a Bowie song to our live set. Then guitarist Luca & I went to see the Bowie play Lazarus at the King’s Cross Theatre where Valentine’s Day stood out above the others.
Review Fix: What are your goals for 2021?
Spizzenegi: To survive the creeping dark ages of disinformation, erosion of democracy & the destruction of our natural environment.
Review Fix: What’s next?
Spizzenegi: To survive the creeping dark ages of disinformation, erosion of democracy & the destruction of our natural environment.
Review Fix: Anything else you’d like to add?
Spizzenegi: Stop HS2, disinformation, the erosion of democracy & the destruction of our natural environment.
