Toss all your categories out the window. When you’re dealing with sPoonman, you’re dealing with a very unique set of musical influences. It’s a strange but wonderful blend that springs from individualistic creativity and never fails to raise eyebrows and smiles of surprise. “I’ve always been into blues and hard rock but I like to play more extreme – like death metal,” says sPoonman. “You might see some reflections of that in my songs.”
Out of My System
“Music makes me get things out of my system,” declares sPoonman. And why not? Music is the ultimate tool of catharsis. By channeling the angst inside into one’s music, the negative morphs into a positive and a communication experience is born, linking artist and audience through common experience represented as music. “Music clears my mind. I feel like I don’t belong where I am and music helps me constantly be thinking I was placed in the right spot.”
No Meaning
While some find no meaning whatsoever in the universe into which we’re born, sPoonman finds plenty of meaning. Wherever there is music, there is something to believe in. Now, a musicless universe might be a different story. “A life without music would be a life with no meaning. It creates my way in life.” Fortunately for the audience, music brings meaning manifested in the power of sPoonman’s incredible compositions.
Fun and Tragedy
The open-eyed artist finds inspiration all over the place, big and small, happy and sad, from matters of pain to matters of the heart. “Love has been a big inspiration for me, as well as fun and tragic things happening while growing up,” sPoonman shares. The depth of emotional information that swirls through sPoonman’s creative process is evident in his textured, intelligent music.
The Artist at Work
sPoonman is a busy artist. Besides his own work under the sPoonman moniker, he also contributes to two other bands. “I write music all the time.” sPoonman’s new album – his fifth, appropriately titled “#5” – will be out by the end of the year. He is currently working with A&R Select, the leading indie A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.
