An Interview With ( virtues )
Tells us about the song you are performing for the Nashville Pop Artist Spotlight. What is it about?
“Honestly about my walk with music and how I got to Nashville. It shares inspiration throughout the lyrics and has a bit of a spiritual meaning to it. Energetic, fun and a little bit of a spin of a classic at the end! One of my favorites!”
What first got you into music? How did the journey begin?
“My dad bought me a drum set when I was 3.. then gave me every common instrument after that. By the age of 13 I was fluent in guitar, keys and bass guitar! Then I discovered my love for original music and singing, this ( virtues ) was born when I was 13!”
How would you describe the music that you typically create?
“pop - fi.. a mixture of lofi and pop!”
What does your music represent?
“Self Love and Healing! ❤️🩹”
What is your creative process like?
“I love melody writing so a lot of my process looks like coming up with catchy hooks or something AFTER I create a beat or song out of nothing. I’m not a huge sample guy so I’m writing all my instruments and beats with midi and live instrument recording.”
If you were to open for any 3 artists, who would they be?
“Forrest Frank, Prince and Elvis! ;)”
What is the best advice you’ve been given so far in the music industry?
“You’re gonna end up on a death bed one day, might as well do everything in music you possibly can. I wanna be on my death bed happy that I at least TRIED everything I could to make my dream reality.”
What would you be doing right now, if it wasn’t for your music career?
“President. Idk I’ve had a weird idea that I could be president one day so I’d go hard to do that!”
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
“The connections that people make with me in my music. The messages of someone uncovering the meaning to my songs and the relativity to their life. That’s what music is all about. It’s a universal feeling we connect to.”
In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives such as yourself?
“Promote mental health and peace.”
