Being an artist is difficult.. And a music artist is no acception. You need to have fresh and catchy music to entice new fans. you need to inspire others and love what you do. Jack Griffing has done exactly this! Combining his inspirations of peoples individual and well known voices and talents he has collaborated them together to make (hopefully) the number one album of the year! Griffing is already an individual platinum selling artist and he has 2 Grammy's! Griffing is still young and looks to have a bright future ahead of him. We are here to chat about his new album 'Repulsive Sophistication'.
What inspired you to come together and create your music?
Jack: Well I've loved Hendrix since like nursery and he actually taught me my first guitar chord. His nephew was in the same music class as me at school. Yea I guess you could say that's the story! I have said that people like the Foo and Hendrix and Nirvarna have inspired me!
How well do you think your new album will sell and what do your fans think of your new
album?
Jack: I think that if the album is what my fans like then hopefully I will hit the charts quickly; there's no telling yet of what could be but hopefully people like it. And to reply to your second question my fans have been really supportive and really that's what I love seeing, I mean I make the music and stuff for them so its good that they enjoy it.
Being so young have you found it hard to write songs?
Jack: No I mean I write them through my personal experiences. I mean when writing this particular album I used the help of my producers to find sort of a 'back bone' or a beat and I just escalated it from there. Yea this album was such fun to make and you know that's what its all about so yea. I mean normally you have a few gems in the album that the fans really like and I've tried to create as many as possible.
When you talk about gems do you mean like songs or special guests?
Jack: Well; hopefully songs as I created them. In answer to your second question I would say that working with other artists and all of their knowledge and experience has just been a privilege for me so there might be a special guest in the new album... Who knows?
How long do you spend in the studio?
Jack: Too much time! Yea I have no life! Well music is my life and I do it for their fans and their support is what keeps me producing so yea; thanks guys!
You say you make music for the fans?
Jack: Yea
So there's no financial side to your music?
Jack: Well obviously we take what we need to live and the rest is put back into the business? But yea the rest goes into development of like; new albums; tours; new equipment and stuff.
Ok thanks for making the time to speak to me
Jack: No Problem thanks for having me!
