Exposed Vocals Interviews ‘Who What Where’
Exposed Vocals: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What made you decide to become an artist?
Who What Where: Were all from Indiana. Grew up just outside of Indianapolis.
Exposed Vocals: How did you come up with that name? What was your inspiration behind it?
Who What Where: We wanted people to remember Who we are. Where we come from and What we do.
Exposed Vocals: What do you think about online music sharing? Do you ever give your music away for free? Why?
Who What Where: Online music is a beautiful thing. It helps our music reach a much bigger audience. We do actually give some music away for free. This being our first E.P. we wanted to put it up on Soundcloud, Spotify, and Bandcamp.
Exposed Vocals: Since everyone was a start-up once, can you give any smaller or local bands or artists looking to get gigs and airplay some tips?
Who What Where: Work. Work. Work. Haha. The more effort you put into it, the higher the chance of success. Sometimes we like to do it the old school way when it’s local and meet the people personally.
Exposed Vocals: Do you ever make mistakes during performances? How do you handle that?
Who What Where: Sometimes. Weather it’s a mess up on vocals or a small guitar part that isn’t in sync with everyone else, we usually handle it the way most musicians do. “It never happened” haha or if it’s noticeable we just laugh it off.
Exposed Vocals: Do you tour? Anything interesting happen on tour that you think our readers would enjoy hearing about?
Who What Where: We haven’t done a ton of touring quite yet. The places that we have “toured” have been a lot of fun. Lots of awesome people who definitely make the show way more fun with dancing or just cheering on the band.
Exposed Vocals: Where do you usually gather songwriting inspiration? What is your usual songwriting process?
Who What Where: Our songwriting usually stems mainly from our own personal lives. The things were going through as 20 somethings in an ever changing world.
Exposed Vocals: Do you have a band website? What online platforms do you use to share your music?
Who What Where: We do! We use Spotify, Soundcloud, Twitter, Facebook, itunes.
Exposed Vocals: What are some really embarrassing songs that we might find on your mp3 player?
Who What Where: Believe by Cher, 22 by Taylor Swift, and a few One Direction Songs
Exposed Vocals: If you were given half a million dollars and a year off, what would you do? How would you spend it?
Who What Where: Travel and see as much of the world as we could.
Exposed Vocals: Any planned studio upgrades? What are you working with now?
Who What Where: Nothing in the near future.We actually record at a local study here in Indianapolis.
Awesome facility and great equipment.
Exposed Vocals: How do you find ways to promote your music? What works best for you?
Who What Where: Social media usually works best for us. Especially Soundcloud as people can stream our songs for free.
Exposed Vocals: If you could perform anywhere and with any artists (Dead or Alive) where and who would it be with? Why?
Who What Where: Probably The 1975. Never got to see the preform live but Ive heard only great things about how fun their shows are.
Exposed Vocals: So, what’s next? Any new upcoming projects that you want to talk about?
Who What Where: We can’t release much. Just that there is another EP in the making. We really want this one to resonate first.
Exposed Vocals: If you weren’t making music, what would you be doing?
Who What Where: Haha probably being a music promoter/events manager. Sounds like a lot of fun!
Exposed Vocals: Do you remember buying your first album? Who was it? What was going through your head?
Who What Where: For me ( Ty Stuart Lead Vocals.) It was Blink 182’s Enema of the state album. I just remember enjoying each song’s story that it told.
Exposed Vocals: How do you juggle the rest of your responsibilities while trying to stay ahead in your music life?
Who What Where: It’s tough sometimes. Being a band you sometimes struggle with everyone’s schedules. Work, school, meetings, etc. But for some reason with our band we just all understand the importance of always staying one step ahead. A lot of sacrifices made from each member to make it work.
Exposed Vocals: What should fans look forward to in 2016?
Who What Where: The Overdue EP which we just released March 4th, 2016. Were recording another EP, and hopefully we will be branching out to other states and preforming more often. This EP is just the introduction to Who What Where and we hope people receive well and stick along for the ride.
