SIMPLY SIX: Pulse 8

Pulse 8 are a band from Kentucky.


1. For many artists, they cite a defining moment for themselves when they knew they wanted to be a singer.  For many it was the appearance ofElvis on the Ed Sullivan show, to another generation it was the Beatles’ appearance on Sullivan half a decade later.  Is there such a defining moment for you?  

Not really I was in an English class in high school, and never could write a whole story, the teacher suggested writing poems, and I saw howIron Maiden used The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I then got with some friends who wanted to start a band and started using those verses I wrote as our song lyrics.



2. When you’re not creating music what are you listening to?  Who are some of your favorites?

I listen to everything from Jazz to Death Metal. My faves are Mr. Bungle, Death, Devil Driver, Overkill, Static-X and even Willie Nelson but I listen to everything.



3. What would you say is your greatest moment so far as an artist, either on record or live?

Writing rhe song All I Know for my brother who died @ 32



4.  Do you believe music can change the world or is just something to listen to?   How much can music influence current events?
I believe it can change things, people have always listened to music, and they always find meaning or something to relate to in different songs they listen to.



5. How has technology affected the music industry?  How has technology affected your career as a musician?
Technology has allowed bands to reach everyone with internet avenue, but that technology has also lead to musicians not being able to make a living because everyone can copy their music for free



6.  Now for my Barbara Walters question:  If you were a pair of shoes what type of shoes would you be?
Converse – Chuck Taylors don’t know they are my favorites.
