So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band? N’fa Jones. I write the songs and perform them on recordings and live shows. I bring the fiiiiiire to ya cook out.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like? Some new cool hotness that they can’t put their finger on but luuuurve.
What do you love about making music? It’s so magical. It appears from nowhere. People can resonate with it, and it’s a means for release, escape, creativity, togetherness or lonerism in one. I can’t explain it, but the feeling of music and it’s vibration always lifts me higher.
What do you hate about the music industry? That like all beautiful things in life, it often gets taken for granted, or gets exploited, and the beauty forgotten.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why? I dunno – maybe someone like Beethoven. I reckon modern music would blow his mind! Imagine If he was making music today.
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it and why? Ah, where do I start? Maybe Simon Cowell actually – it’s not the shitty bands that he turns into monsters that are at fault. Nor even the soft labels that support this sad, weak, un-emotive music. It’s people like him with ability to attract vulnerable people who suffer a menial day to day life chasing escape in any form, and making them believe he is right. It’s his sick and twisted view of what music is, and what it should be to people. Nothing but income at any cost.
What can a punter expect from your live show? A really good time. Different, but a new type of good time.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise? I won’t likely be selling CDs, I’ll probably be giving away a mixtape. If I am selling CDs it’ll be a new single, or a sampler of my forthcoming album, Black +White Noise.
When’s the gig and with who? Saturday November 23 at Revolver with Charlie Bucket and Remi.
