"I honestly dream as big as I can, because why not? If I don’t follow my heart and soul for these projects, then what am I doing it for?"
Prolific multi-instrumentalist Giack Bazz gets into it with TheNeverPress on his output, the ever-changing industry and his upcoming album 'Bedtime Stories for Computers'.
Dude, great to see you - let's dive in with the most obvious of questions. Your magical musical journey. Can you fill us in?
My father encouraged me to take guitar lessons when I was 6 years old and, believe it or not, I didn’t like it at first. But I persevered and it eventually grew on me. Then, as a teenager, I started writing my first songs and it all degenerated from there. How I got here, I have no clue!
Who are you influenced by musically and non-musically?
Musically my pantheon gathers artists like Jack White, Conor Oberst, Thom Yorke, Joshua Tillman, Paul McCartney, Duke Ellington.
Non-musically the art that inspire me the most is from Damien Hirst, Wes Anderson, and Jack Kerouac. I’ve been reading the original scroll of 'On The Road' religiously since 2012, sometimes I open it and read a few pages, it has become a part of me and I don’t feel like finishing it.
