REMY SHAND

“I had no friends,” says Shand. “I struggled so much with people who talked down about funk music, they just didn’t understand it. And it was my thing, it’s what I was into. I was never into the whole getting into cliques of people and being influenced by those people. It was always like, this is what I’m doing, you guys on board or not?”“I see myself as more of a songwriter than anything. And I love producing. I love being behind the board and engineering—and I love playing, but that’s a totally separate thing. It all comes down to just songs.“Eventually I want to have my own label, I want to be able to travel in different genres. I want to keep it soul, but I want to get into more Latin and bossa nova and kind of mix that up. It just depends on how far I want to take things and how far I want to stray.”“I made this record very consistent with the first impression of it, which was the song ‘Everlasting.’ That was kind of like the blueprint for the content of this record. And I didn’t really step out of that realm in terms of tempo, so I think that’s where the other 99 per cent will go—just other songs and ideas. There’s so much stuff in my head right now.” :~Free MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
