1. How long have you been in the music industry and has music always been a part of your life?
I started professionally recording my music about five years ago with Fred "Blaze" Crawford. Yet, music has always been a major influence in my life. I began writing and playing guitar at 11, and piano at age of 5.
2. Was there a specific moment in your life where you thought, “music is what I want to do”?
I always have followed the path of music. I can't remember not entertaining.
3. What inspires you (or your music)?
People and emotions inspire me, and being out in nature also helps me create what I want to say in a song.
4. Who’s on your iTunes playlist?’
Right now, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Frenship, Major Lazer
5. The project you are currently promoting, how did the idea for it come about?
I wrote "Into You" about the moment I realized I had a crush on this one person. The moment that hits with butterflies.
6. There are thousands of artists trying to do what you are doing, what do you think gives you an advantage to break into mainstream America?
I'm just listening to my heart and being myself. I think by staying true to whom you are is what separates your art from others.
7. I’ve heard your latest music and it’s amazing! I can definitely tell your sound has evolved over the past few years from previous songs we’ve heard from you online. What are your thoughts on the evolution of an artist and the evolution of music today?
Thank you. :)
I think music is like a snap shot in a sound wave of what the artist and world is going through at the time. Life is about cycles and I think through living and growing, us artists find ourselves more and more in the music.
8. Do you have other passions in life? Do you believe passion is an essential part of success?
I believe passion is a must. I'm passionate about the expression of beauty. With my music I can do this but I also love style and dance, and acting.
9. With your current success and working with a renowned PR firm such as Starlight PR, What advice would you give to someone just starting out in his or her career who doesn't even have a studio to record but would love to do what you are doing now?
Play live shows as much as possible and meet others artists and collaborate with them.
10. Where can potential fans find out more about you?
I am on all social media - @shaebrockmusic and my website shaebrock.com
