Where were you born, where have you lived?
Nicola: We were born in Norfolk, England but lived in Germany for 12 years. We only moved back to England when we were 17.
How did you choose the name of the group and is that your real last name?
Helen: Yes it's our real last name! Me and Nicola played as a duo in college and that's what we were known as. We wanted to change the name but it just sort of stuck.
Have you studied music together?
Helen: Yes we both did a music degree at university.
How many instruments do you play?
Nicola: I play guitar, sing and I am learning to play the piano.
Helen: I play guitar, flute, sing and play a bit of harp.
Have you any other solo projects outside the group?
Nicola: Yes, we both write songs for the band and also our own compositions. It's hard to find the time but we hope to be recording songs for our additional project 'IamUnicorn' in the next few months.
When did you decide to create this band?
Helen: In 2011 we first began to talk about the idea. None of us were really performing at that time and having heard some of our early songs, Marc and Sam asked us if we would like to become a four piece.
For the genre of music you want play, who decides what kinds of instruments you will need?
Nicola: It depends on the song really. We are very lucky to have Sam and Marc who are brilliant musicians and can pick up most instruments. We try to add only what is needed to enhance the songs.
Listening to your song we are charmed by the sweetness and the melancholy. What your life's theme song could be?
Nicola: Thank you! It's hard to say. I love songs that make me feel something, whether happy or sad. I'm not sure what my life's theme song would be.... the new Keaton Henson song 'You' seems to strike a real chord with me at the minute.
Writing the words to songs is often thought of as personal. What is your process for writing songs ? Do you write together?
Helen: We often begin songs alone and then bring them to the band to work on. Our lyrics are personal to us and it can be hard to explain what our songs are about. We'd like to think they can be interpreted in different ways.
The boys are they an important part of the group ?
Helen: Absolutely. They add so much in terms of instrumentation and musicality. We're beginning to write together more as a whole band, which is great and brings a new dimension to our sound.
What are your musical influences and what music are you listening to right now?
Nicola: Right now I'm listening to Rae Morris, Keaton Henson, Ella Fitzgerald, First Aid Kit and Daughter. As a band we have very diverse influences.
You have saved a E.P. called Philosolove. A new album will be recorded soon? If yes, can you tell us more about that?
Helen: We are working on a new E.P that should be ready in the new year. We're looking forward to getting it out there and will hopefully be releasing a single in the next couple of months.
Where can we buy your music?
Nicola: You can download it from Itunes and Amazon or buy a physical copy from our Bandcamp page on Facebook.
You are twins but only Nicola wears glasses. It's just for recognizing you is she the most myopic of you both?
Nicola: I'm definitely the blinder out of the two of us!
Beyond glasses, do you devote full attention to your image?
Helen: We think about what we wear for photo shoots and gigs but not really more than that. We're quite a casual, laid back band!

Giulia Spallino
Giulia Spallino is an amazing Italian artist singer. She accepted this interview few weeks ago. Go have a listen and like Giulia on the web:
http://www.giuliaspallino.com
http://www.youtube.com/user/GiuliaSpallino
https://soundcloud.com/#giulia-spallino
https://www.facebook.com/giulia.spallino
Where did you grow up and where do you live now?
I grew up in a small town near Bergamo, in the north of Italy, but now I live with my boyfriend and our dog in the city. It 'a very beautiful town, but quite small, and like all cities has its pros and cons.
How long do you play music and how did you get started?
I started singing very late, when I was 20 years old.. I was just shy and I could not really sing in front of other people. When I broke up with my ex-boyfriend, as all women (do) when there is a big change in their life, I realized that I had to start using this gift I had: I took courage and began singing in a gospel choir. Then came my acoustic trio (vocal and guitar), a funk band, a reggae band ... and after all this, I discovered my songs.
What is your musical background?
I listen to all kinds of musical genres: from 70s rock to 90s hip hop, from dance music to folk, from soul to pop ... I think all genres have their meaning and their path, and every sound can give me something. All can inspire me.
What music are you listening to now?
My musical guide is and will always be Lauryn Hill. But now I really like reggae music (my boyfriend is a reggae dj and I really like the vibes) and electronic music contaminated with soul ... by chance, do you know Delilah or Little dragon? That kind of stuff.
The first song ever sung?
The first song ever sung in my life in a "serious" occasion was a gospel song: I do not remember the title, but I remember that I was very nervous and my legs were shaking (and I always looked at EYES Director of the Choir). Instead, the first recording experience was disastrous ... After have hearing my voice, I burst into tears and ran away from the studio!
Tell me about your writing process. Do you co-write or do you write alone?
I usually write alone, in my room, in my kitchen, on my bed, on a bus .. They are all very PERSONAL thoughts, which relate to my life and my experience. For this reason, I write alone. Once I figured out what I want to say / write, I begin to give it a SHAPE and A MELODY. It all happens very naturally and when I realize that it’s not like so, I start over.
How many songs have you recorded?
Maybe 10-12 songs, I don’t remember exactly.
A LP?
Now, I'm working on my first EP: it will consist of 5+1 tracks and it will be released next spring. It was a very long and hard work for me, but I'm really proud of what I have become.
Is that you have a website to disseminate your music?
I have my website www.giuliaspallino.com but for now it contains only all my social links (fb, twitter, instagram, pinterest..)
What has been your most memorable experience thus far?
The most amazing experience was a very personal one (as opposed to what you might think). My uncle asked me to sing a song at my aunt’s funeral.. I sang Jeff Buckley's Halleluja: it was the most strong and intense moment of my life. For the first time I really sang from the heart. My broken heart.
Are there any plans for a tour in the future?
By now there isn't anything concrete, but when my EP will come out, there will be some promotional dates for sure.
Which country would you play first?
First of all I'd like touring my country and let Italy know my music. Obviously, I want also to bring my music abroad and everywhere :)
Is there anyone you'd want to tour with?
Regarding Italian artists, I'd like to open the concert of Meg (highly recommend). Regarding foreign artists instead, my dreams are about Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu, the queens of nu soul. But they’re only dreams, you know
Like all the singers on this blog, you wear glasses. Are they real or only for fashion?
Unfortunately they’re real cause I'm a little bit blinded
What's next step for you now?
Next step is finishing the video we're shooting for my first single, then I’ve got to finish my whole EP and continue writing as much as possible.

Valarie Mulberry
Through YouTube I come across the amazing Valarie Mulberry who are just starting to wear glasses. I would like to share her work and she gladly accepted this interview.
Valarie is recording her solo debut CD to be released in early 2014.
http://www.valariemulberry.com
http://www.facebook.com/vmulberry
http://www.youtube.com/7bvoicetr
Is Valarie Mulberry is your real name?
Yes, it is. Most people with my first name spell it "Valerie" but my mom is dyslexic and dyslexics tend not to be good spellers. When I was born she asked a nurse to tell her how to spell it. The nurse wrote down about five different spelling variations of my name. My mom liked the one with two "a's" in it, as opposed to the typical spelling with two "e's." My last name was changed from a Spanish name three generations ago when that line of my family tree came from Mexico.
Where were you born and where have you lived?
I was born in Portland, Oregon but my parents moved to the Oregon Coast when I was 2 years old. I grew up in the mountains on the Oregon Coast with a river in the back yard and train tracks in the front. I lived on the Island of Maui, Hawaii for three and half years, then I moved to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam for two years. Vietnam provided a lot of interesting experiences. I rode my motorbike around the city, sang in a rock band for a time, made some wonderful friendships, taught English as a Foreign Language and did my best to learn Vietnamese. I had quite a few comical mishaps because it is a tonal language and hard to get the hang of. After Vietnam, I moved back to Hawaii for two years and then to the San Francisco Bay Area for two years. I now live in Santa Barbara, California.
How long have you played music and how did you get started?
I have played guitar, which is my main instrument, for almost 17 years and have been performing for ten years now. I was lucky that my dad played guitar when I was growing up so I learned a few chords from him. He played a lot of top hits from the 1960s, stuff from the Beatles, Otis Redding, Peter Paul and Mary and Bob Dylan. "Louie, Louie" by the Kingsmen and "Gloria" by Van Morrison were the first songs that I learned on guitar. I really didn't get serious with guitar until adulthood though.
First song ever sung?
Probably "Crawdad Song" which is an old folk song that is in the public domain. No one knows for sure who wrote it. My dad used to sing it when I was a kid. It's sort of a fun kids song. I actually re-interpreted it for myself and I sing it at gigs sometimes.
Who is your inspiration?
Anyone seeking truth and living what I call "the life of an artist." I think it is a really beautiful journey to dedicate oneself to an artistic passion. Art is a great method for healing one's self and usually results in also helping others to heal.
What are your favorite artists right now and why?
I am really digging Valerie June and also the Alabama Shakes right now. I like Ben Howard. There's a cool San Diego duo that I played a show with called "The Lovebirds" that are amazing. I love Tift Merritt and the Be Good Tanya's. They have a bit of a rootsy sound but it is contemporary too. Van Morrison is probably my favorite singer-songwriter, if I had to choose. I just love the vibration that he puts out. I also like some of the stuff that can be heard on the radio like Florence and the Machine, Adele and David Gray.
Can you describe your music?
I probably can't describe it very well. That is something that I have a hard time with. It's really hard to express sound accurately in words. My short answer is usually "eclectic singer-songwriter" or "jazzy but not jazz, bluesy but not blues, a little folky but not folk, country-ish but not country, a little bit rock." It really depends on the song though. I tend to write in slightly different genres but it is still coming from me so it has the common thread of sounding like me, of course.
What is the inspiration for your songs?
It really depends on what I am processing spiritually and emotionally at the point in time that I write a song. But insomnia has been good for my creativity. I like the solitude of night-time. I find that is when the songs come to me.
Where are you at with the new album? Is it all finished?
I am almost finished with it. I have about three more sessions to finish the mixing and mastering. I will be finished with the mastering by mid-November. I will have a slightly delayed release though, because I want to plan some promotion. It will be released February 20th, 2014. I am really excited about it. I have some great musicians playing on it and I love every note of the entire album. I have vintage organs on it, a fabulous back up singer and some really great guitar solos by my guitarist/producer. We started recording it fifteen months ago, so we really took our time. I am really happy with the producer that I chose to work with and cannot wait to share it with everyone.
Where do you buy your music?
I buy actual CD's. I love to listen to them in my car or when I am cleaning the house. I mostly buy them at live shows to support the artists. I am not into the mp3 thing yet. The sound quality for mp3's is not as good as CD's either. So I have not really gotten into the iTunes thing much yet.
Any loves other then music?
I love anything to do with culture and learning about how culture operates on us and how it changes or doesn't change. I like to learn why people behave the way that they do. I have an insatiable desire to keep learning. I love reading and I stay up to date on current events. I love to have good conversations with friends. I also love animals and do animal rescue when I am able.
Where would you most like to perform?
Right now, I would most like to perform a full length gig with an awesome five piece band backing me up in front of five thousand people in an older restored theater. One of those places with great architecture and old red velvet seats.
Any plans for a tour?
I am in the beginning stages of formulating a plan to play some shows in LA, San Diego and San Francisco after my CD is released. I am not sure if it can officially be called a "tour" or not but I will be getting out of my little hub of Santa Barbara much more often. I would like to book some shows in Oregon too and start moving up and down the West Coast much more.
For the new videos, will you keep your glasses?
I think so. Probably about half and half.
Where do you hope to be by 2014?
I want to be making an income from my music, whether that be from film, TV and advertisement placements or from playing live. I want to get an awesome live backing band. Currently, I mainly play with an electric guitarist backing me and that is very fun but it also feels exhilarating to play with a full band. Ideally, I would like to make back the amount I spent on recording my album and just keep playing better and better shows and keep connecting with audiences.

Rachael Ward
Here is a new interview the talented singer/songwriter Rachael Ward. It would be a shame to not be able to listen to her songs, so stop by her website and youtube to have a listen to her beautiful voice.
The new E.P. Love & Fear is now out via on Bandcamp through Kolossus Records!
http://kolossusrecords.bandcamp.com/album/love-fear
What city did you grow up?
I grew up in a very small southern town called Bainbridge in Southeast Georgia.
How old were you when you started getting involved in music?
My father is a band director for the high school I attended so I have always been surrounded around music. I started playing the trumpet actually when I was 6 years old and I picked the guitar up when I was 15. Song-writing followed suit when I was 16 years old. I had a little underground band for two years. We thought we were rock stars playing loud music in a church basement. It wasn’t until college that I started developing my own sound and playing live.
Is what you studied music or did you learn on your own?
I was in band in high school and like I said my father was a band director so I studied it a bit but the art form of what I create is just something I learned myself.
How would you describe your music?
My music is a combination of honesty, real life events with a base for folk acoustic music. It’s very much infused with ambient sounds and a little play on reverb and echo.
You written your own songs but you have also recorded some covers (Rihanna, Ellie Goulding, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Drake and many others), who inspires you musically?
Musically – everyone really. I listen to just about every genre of music. Right now my biggest influences are people like Daughter, William Fitzsimmons and my all time favorite group Paper Route. Seriously, check them out. They are the reason I dove deeper as a song-writer.
And in life?
Oh, in life. That’s a tough one. My parents. I know cheesy but they seriously have taught me so much and continue to influence my life positively.
I know you have not only one, but two EPs in preparation, can you tell us a little more about this?
'Confessional' is an electronic based EP that focuses on tracks I’ve found throughout the inter webs and used to create what you would call vocal edits. All of these tracks were available for free download from the original artist and the EP itself will be free when it drops on September 18 on my bandcamp at http://rachaelward.bandcamp.com/
'Where Lovers Meet' is more of the folk/ambient genre. It’s a compilation of songs I’ve been writing for the past year and a half. They flow in a series and reflect on love, relationships, how they sometimes work and sometimes fail. Both Confessional and Where Lovers Meet have that theme, which I am very proud of – they tell a story and they will make you feel and think. I’m most excited about what direction will take that.
Are there any plans for a tour in the future?
Well I hope to get more plugged into the Atlanta music scene in Georgia. As far as in full, we’ll just have to see.
Is that you have a web site to disseminate your music?

When did you start wearing glasses?
I believe it was when I was in middle school. I noticed I was getting really bad headaches so naturally I went to get an eye exam done and sure enough – glasses. I suddenly could see the detail on tress and see people again.

Renata Novo
An interview with Renata Novo, one of the most promising new talents of Lithuania.
I just want to thank her for this wonderful idea and prompt answers.
Is Renata Novo is your real name?
Renata Novo is my stage name. It`s a shorter version of my real Lithuanian name Renata Novogreckaite. I have many international friends, who studied in my country or I met them during my travels abroad. For foreigners it was really difficult to pronounce my real surname, so I just made it shorter. By the way, Latin expression "de Novo" means "New" and my name Renata translated from Latin means "Born Again". So choosing this stage name Renata Novo I`ve showed to the world that I`m starting my NEW life as a musician, who is not affraid to create unique and NEW songs. In my concerts I try to avoid covers and perform only my songs :)
What city did you grow up? Where do you live?
I was born in Mazeikiai, Lithuania, and there I grew up. I`ve graduated my BA and MA communication studies in second biggest town in Lithuania – Kaunas, where I`m living, working and creating my music at the moment.
How long do you play music?
At school time I started singing in a youth jazz band, at university – playing guitar and singing in rock cover band and from 2013 I strongly decided to start creating my own music as Renata Novo. So... It`s around 15 years for singing and 8 years for playing guitar.
Is what you studied music or did you learn on your own?
The basics of singing I learnt while singing in youth jazz band, my voice got stronger singing in rock band, so now I can use this knowledge for my own music. My BA and MA studies are not related to music, but communication & advertising. Maybe that`s why I give so much importance for word and lyrics of the songs. Every my song has a story: from my life, from movies, from books, from dreams, etc. I like telling these stories to the audience during my concerts.
What are the artists who gave you the desire to do your job and what artists do you like listening to?
I started playing guitar because of the Irish band "The Cranberries" song "Zombie". I think this band is my musical mother, who inspired and gave birth for my first songs. These days I listen to various types of music from rock, punk to jazz, reggae.
Is that you have a web site to disseminate your music?
You can find my music on http://www.youtube.com/user/RenataNovoMusic
Follow my music life on https://www.facebook.com/RenataNovoMusic
Listen my songs mp3 on https://soundcloud.com/renata-novogreckaite-1
How many songs have you recorded?
I have many songs started just not finished yet. Usually in the concerts I play around 10-12 songs, 6 of them you can find on youtube.

Renata Novo "Not My Life Again"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZetkZSrRwg
Is alone or with band for recording your songs?
Now we are two: me for vocals and Marius Sabutis for guitar (he is the guy in the BalconyTV video). I create lyrics and music, Marius helps to develop. This period is for creating songs and presenting them in acoustic concerts. If audience likes them – we can record them for an album. First album is our future plan.
Have you play? or envisaged live show soon? In what country?
At the moment we have concerts only in Lithuania – follow my Facebook page and you won`t miss my concerts. When we gonna release our first album – then you can think about concerts abroad. Everything is in the future :)
Now about your glasses. Like many singers, you wear glasses instead of contact lenses, when did you choose to wear them? Is it for fashion or is that it happened naturally?
I`m wearing glasses from school time, cause I have myopia. Of course like all children in the beggining I didin`t like them, but now it`s really nice detail which helps to stand out from the crowd. Usually I choose different frame colors when changing glasses. At some period I had burgundy, green, stripped, now – black with yellow sides :) Glasses are cool! Now it`s almost part of my body :)

Ellow - Eline Van Hooff
Ellow is a pop/folk/indie band from Eindhoven, Netherlands, created by Eline Van Hooff and Rik Janssen.
The duo doesn’t want to conform to the conventional musical laws. Songs will be posted on Youtube on an average of two new songs a month. After that they will be arranged to be suited to be performed live as a duo on stage. They play ukelele's, piano's, guitars, basses and an occasional kazoo. They enjoying the chance to be creative and explore the tunes. http://www.ellow.nl
The duo works perfectly with the beautiful voice of the lead singer Eline Van Hooff.
Eline started singing when she was 8 in a choir. When she was 12 she got her grandmothers piano and took classes. She went to music school when she was 18. She have always made her own music with friends and now with Rik.
In addition to her band, Eline has her own youtube channel Samantha Eline and records some pretty acoustic videos. I recommend listening to the Selah Sue Cover 'Explanations'.
You can become a patron of Ellow: http://www.patreon.com/ellow With your patronage they are able to drink more coffee than usual and this results in more and better videosongs.
The responsibilities during the process of making a Youtube video are clearly portioned. Eline looks after editing the video, and recording and mixing is in the capable hands of Rik.
The band have not yet recorded an album but some digital songs can be purchased on Bandcamp.
The first E.P. called 'I Say Ellow' will be out october 10th!!
Eline needs glasses when she was 4 and they are really a necessity. She has one bad and one good eye and she injured her good eye. She still too afraid to wear contacts because of the injury and wears a very nice pair of frames she never takes off.
Quickly discover the beautiful voice of Eline and the group compositions and share their music. Suscribe to the Ellow channel and listen to my favorite song!
