Blazing Minds

Ever popular than ever I’m proud to bring you another in my series of “Who’s the Band” and this week I bring you an interview with K-TRAXX, so I’m going to stop rambling on and get on with the interview..

Q: So how did you come upon the name of your band? Is it the first name you chose?
A: I actually had a few name but this one was bassed on an Idea for a productions company and I liked it as an artist/producer/dj name so I kept it.

Q: So please introduce yourself to our readers?
A: As a Producer, Composer, and DJ, I enjoy all types of music. Never prefered a specific style but my style reflects to what I listen to the most. It all started in 96 with my passion for music DJ’ing at house parties around town, and then at local clubs I got herd. Then in 98 me and a friend started messing around with anything we could get our hands on to make music. I don’t have a specific style but I create with what I am feeling.

Q: So what genre of music would you say you are in and who are your major influences?
A: For now I would say electronica/ambient/hiphop or anything actually. I create all genres. My influences vary from John ‘00′ Fleming to Buddy Guy to Oros de brujo to Manu Chao.

Q: How long has you been performing/producing music? What inspired you to produce your style of music?
A: I have been producing for 10 years. I always enjoyed listening to music and I love all music however I always wanted to be able to express myself with music so that is where most of my inspiration comes from.

Q: Are you signed to a record label (Indie or major)?
A: Not signed yet.

Q: Where can people find your music? Do you have an official website?
A: I can be heard at www.reverbnation.com/ktraxx or at www.ktraxx.com

A: Not yet. But In the next coming year I will be working towards that locally.

Q: Who writes/produces the music and/or lyrics to your tracks?
A: I do.

Q: How would you describe your music-making process?
A: Very creative and captivating.

Q: What has been your biggest challenge as a band/solo artist? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?
A: Well my biggest challenge was to share my talent. For so long I had never shown what I was doing in my home studio and once in a while a friend here and there would here it and say WOW. Until people started asking me for copies and to go public with it. I then overcame my challenge to share my projects and create a profile on a musician site and got very good feedback eversince.

Q: What’s your ultimate direction for your band? Are you seeking fame and fortune?
A: No fame and fortune is seeked I now enjoy sharing my music with anyone who appreciates it.

Q: What advice do you have for people who want to form their own bands?
A: Just do it and don’t stand in your own way. If you fell it then go for it no matter the outcome. Firstly do it for yourself. You have to enjoy yourself at the same time.

Q: Is there anyone you’d like to acknowledge for offering financial or emotional support?
A: I would like to say thanks to all family friends fans for all support given no matter the form it was given.

Q: Any last words?
A: Music is from the heart and should be natural not forced. We need it in our life. Keep it loud K-TRAXX
