EV: How did you hear about Exposed Vocals? What made you decide to sign up?

     I heard about Exposed Vocals on twitter.
I love it to be in interview. ; )
 

EV: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What made you decide to become an artist?

    I’m born in Switzerland 1984. It was cool to go to school here in this beautiful nature.
It was not my decision to become an artist. I’m an artist since I’m here… 🙂 I don’t have an other choice…
 

EV: How did you come up with that name? What was your inspiration behind it?

Angenoir has two parts: Ange, french for angel, and noir, french for black. It’s the Yin and Yang in the name.

EV: What do you think about online music sharing? Do you ever give your music away for free? Why?

Online music sharing is great. More peeps that know me. Yes I give my music away for free. My music is here for good
vibes and I love to inspire people with my music. Music is the best medicine and fantastic for good feelings.

EV: 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?

Believe in your self and have self confidence. Be nice with everyone! It needs time to have airplays and ‘good gigs’… And every gig is a good gig
and a great experience for the own way as an artist.

EV: Do you ever make mistakes during performances? How do you handle that?

    Yes, of course… But I don’t love it! ; ) Mistakes are a part of the life and they are very important to learn more and be better.
During a mistake be smart and have a smile on your face.
 

EV: Do you tour? Anything interesting happen on tour that you think our readers would enjoy hearing about?

    At the moment I don’t have time for a tour. I work on my first album and it’s hard work and needs a lot of time. But I love it very much!
The girls are nice on tour… :))) Just a joke! ; ) I have a girlfriend.
 
 

EV: Where do you usually gather songwriting inspiration? What is your usual songwriting process?

The nature is a good partner for a new inspiration… The inspiration comes when I make music. When I have an idea, it’s always the same: It happens when I play music. I don’t have special processes.

EV: Do you have a band website? What online platforms do you use to share your music?

Yes: www.angenoirs-productions.com , the social networks are fantastic to promote and share the songs! A new and more professional page comes in a few weeks!

EV: What are some really embarrassing songs that we might find on your mp3 player?

I have no embarrassing songs in the player. The embarrassing songs are not online… 🙂

EV: If you were given half a million dollars and a year off, what would you do? How would you spend it?

Good questions… I think I would go into the nature for new feelings. I love animals very much. I think I would spend it with animals. My favorites are the wolves, dogs and cats!

EV: Any planned studio upgrades? What are you working with now?

Yes of course. A lot of new synths are planned! iMachine from Native Instruments is one of my tools. And a fanstastic programm is Cubase!
I work with Cubase! Very professional…

EV: How do you find ways to promote your music? What works best for you?

I have partners in the music and they have great connections to promote music. The network is very important!

EV: If you could perform anywhere and with any artists (Dead or Alive) where and who would it be with? Why?

With me in 10 years… 🙂 I could learn a lot very fast… 😉

EV: So, what’s next? Any new upcoming projects that you want to talk about?

My first album… And I have a lot of ideas for new songs… I’m very happy when my album is finished. Then I’m free for something new and great new songs!

EV: If you weren’t making music, what would you be doing?

Something in the area of arts! A life without creativity is no life for me…

EV: Do you remember buying your first album? Who was it? What was going through your head?

Yeah that’s funny: Marusha!!! :))) It was only one thing in my head: OVER THE RAINBOW!!! hAHAA

EV: How do you juggle the rest of your responsibilities while trying to stay ahead in your music life?

It’s difficult but possible! Everything must have a place in the life and it’s easier for me: I have my studio at home.
I work outside in other studios too… But most of my time at home.

EV: What should fans look forward to in 2015?

My first album and new songs… Not every song is on the page… ; )
