1.I just have to ask why keyboards?
I’M JUN FROM MUTE TX. I PICKED KEYS BECAUSE AFTER PLAYING GUITAR AND BASS FOR YEARS I WANTED TO EXPERIMENT WITH NEW SOUNDS. THEY HAVE A WIDER RANGE OF SOUNDS I CAN USE.
2.When you started playing keys was it your intent to join a metal / rock band?
I WAS ALREADY IN MUTE TX AS AGUITARIST FIRST THEN BASSIST AND BACKUP VOCALS.
3.Who are your influences?
CHRISTIAN LORENZ BECAUSE OF HIS COMPOSITIONS ALONG WITH FREDDY MERCURY AND TRENT REZNOR
4.Do you know who Jon Lord is without using Google?
I’VE HEARD OF HIM AND AM A FAN OF HIS WORK WITH DEEP PURPLE.
5.What do you do visually to enhance your presence ?
WEAR MAKE UP DO ALOT OF BLACKLIGHT. I TRY TO STICK TO MORE TRADITIONAL WARPAINT AND PROPS
6.Why do you think keyboard players in metal get so little recognition?
IN MY OPINION I’M NOT TRYING TO BE A FRONTMAN I ADD AMBIENCE AND THEATRICALITY TO OUR SOUND. WE ALL HAVE ORU PARTS TO PLAY.
7.Did you start on a piano? And what age did you start?
BACK IN MY YOUTH I WOULD PLAY AT THE LOCAL OLD FOLKS HOME ON A STAND UP PIANO.I THINK I WAS LIKE 17 OR 18.
8.Its one thing to seranade with a guitar , do you have a seranade story youd like to share?
OF COURSE I DO . I WOULD RECORD COVERS FOR A LONG DISTANT GF I HAD . SHE DIDNT APPRECIATE IT SO IT WAS THE LAST TIME I EVER DID THAT. LOL
9.In line with the last question keyboards are often looked at as romantic are you romantic when you play or are there visions of the Phantom of The Opera ( the scary 30’s one) in your head?
MORE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA WITH A SIDE OF CARNIVAL AND FLASHY LIKE ELTON JOHN.
10.Convince me keyboards are cool because your facing a large audience who begs to differ. Change our minds
NAH YOU EITHER DIG THE MUSIC OR NOT. I’M GOOD WITH THAT.
