This week I'm interviewing

Will Angelo

of Rebel Rock

Will's Short Bio:

I was born in Greensboro, NC, raised in Daytona Beach, Florida. I have four generations of my family in Daytona Beach. I went to South Daytona Elementary where I would meet friends I would know all of my life. Middle school I went to Campbell whereI was introduced to freestyle hip hop and the rest is history. I went to Atlantic High for High School, Novell for college. Shortly after I met my beautiful wife, Michelle. She's a big support for my music and now I work at a music store where we talk music all day. I get new inspirations that way.

I asked Will some questions that I thought you would want to know the answers to. Here's our interview:

1. Did you write and play music as a child? I played drums and guitar.

2. What musical instrument do you currently play? I play drums.

3. Please tell us what got you started doing artwork and music both. My dad got me started in music and my brother got me started in art.

4. Please walk me through your song writing process. Everyone has a different way of doing it. It starts with poetry and a love for music lyrics. So I start with a topic and maybe one or two words, then let my mind go blank. Then start writing (editing after) there has to be a strong passion, or you're wasting your time, it also doesn't hurt for outside influence (never turn down a good idea).

5. What is your favorite song that you have written and why is it your favorite? Honestly I don't have a favorite song that I've written but if I had to pick it would be a breakup song called "Holding On". Mainly because it flows nicely and it is very emotionally true.

6. What is your favorite artwork you have done and why is it your favorite? Anything with skulls in it or graffitti, I go into great detail with them and it's fun for me.

7. Tell us about your most memorable stage moment. The very first show I did in a small coffee/bar on an open mic. I was asked to perform, I was very nervous but after I got on stage nerves went away and I had a great time. After everyone came and shook my hand in congrats, then on I knew it was offical.

8. Do you have advice for others who perform? Yes, know your song, no matter how routine, do it live in front of family/friends to build confidence. As a friend told me, "Have fun with it".

9. What are you working on right now? Rebel Rock is my new group. We just got a real studio thanks to JG Productions. We are working our first album. It should be out in the fall.

10. Do you belong to a band? Yes.

11. Please tell us about what it is like to play in a band. Well it can be difficult everyone has an opinion and you know what they say it's best to keep your mind open and respect everyone.

12. What do you do for fun? Hang with friends, family, and also my music and art which are a release from this world.

13. What is the most important thing to you? Family and my music.

Thank You Will! Keep on making music!
