Interview With Skylar

Up next in the Monday morning interviews is one of my best friends and favorite people to make music with, Skylar. Skylar is not just a total joy to be around 24/7, but he's one of the most motivated and unique song writers in Cleveland. I had to pleasure to recently record his new band, Orefice Roth. We tracked one song a few weeks ago, and we start the next big batch of songs the middle of February! 

 

Here's a quick little nterview with the guy pictured below. 

 - What's the first band that made you pick up a guitar and start playing? 

Uhhhh general classic rock that I heard in a crate of records that my dad/uncle gave me

- What's missing in the local music scene? 

I don't know.

- How do you know when a song is finished writing? 

To me a song never has to stop changing, but if we’re defining finished as when I’m comfortable with playing it in a live setting or make an official recording of it ... it’s when it feels balanced and it feels like it does it’s job. Whatever that is for you

 

- What comes first in your song writing process? 

 It starts so many different ways

- Do you have any specific rooms, lighting, or rituals you gravitate towards when you're writing? 

Drink coffee, smoke some weed, and just float around the house in your pajamas strumming on a guitar. Have instruments everywhere. Always have one by you when you’re sitting on the couch watching tv.
