Hi there Far From Holy! Thank you so much for sharing your new song “What It Takes” with us at BuzzMusic. Could you give us an inside to what inspired the writing of this particular track?
I was inspired to write “What It Takes” during a major life change I was experiencing. The song features me displaying confidence & ability to persevere during difficult seasons in life, while still doing what I love - creating interesting artwork.
We really enjoyed the different elements you brought in to create the sound of “What It Takes”, do you see yourself experimenting more with genres and sounds in the future?
In the future I see myself continuing to experiment with synthesizers, piano, & guitar to evolve Far From Holy’s sound. I enjoy creating alternative rock, experimental pop, EDM, & hip-hop. I am planning on releasing a new EP with a few music videos to accompany it.
You mentioned that you started working on music seriously in 2015, what were you doing before then that led you down this path? Have you always been interested in a career in music?
Prior to 2015 I was a HUGE fan of live music. I‘ve been really influenced by 90’s alt-Rock, early 2000’s hip-hop, & Electronic Dance Music - Which is why I enjoy using synthesizers so much.
Thank you for talking with us, Far From Holy! What do you have planned musically for the near future? Any upcoming performances?
When present at live shows, I had a burning desire in my heart to be on stage. Not for my own fame, but for the simple fact I wanted to influence people with my choice of music. Music that I enjoy creating & listening to with intentions my audience will enjoy it as much as I do.
What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020?
Look out for a brand new Far From Holy EP & new music videos!
