This week we have the opportunity to sit down with one of the most talented young musician I’ve ever met online, Danny Rocco. He got the style, he got the sound and he definitely got the look. And with his talent he is totally in the league to rival the Jonas Brothers HAHA! So everyone let us introduce Danny Rocco, Check out his music at http://www.myspace.com/dannyrocco
Hi Danny, thank you for doing this interview with us, we really appreciate the opportunity.
Q: now let’s kick start this engine with an intro of who you really are? And where you are from and what get you into the music scene in the first place?
---I’m from Long Island, New York, and i started [playing music at an extremely young age. I began on the violin when I was in second grade, and pretty easily progressed to guitar, and eventually vocals. I also used to book a lot of shows around the area when i was about 14 or 15, and things kinda took their own form there.
Q: your songs sound fantastic, and you have an album “The Future is Now” out now, how would you describe it?
---my latest album is a compilation of recording that i re-recorded. the earliest of which, i wrote when i was about 16. Its a very nostalgic album, and focuses a lot on my high school years and my life as a teenager.
Q: You are in a band, how is it different compare to singing solo?
---my band Show Me Action is quite different. I love both; there’s a sense of intimacy I just don’t get out of playing with my band, and there’s similarly a sense of craziness that I never get to enjoy while performing solo. It’s also quite nice to play with the band have some of the vocal pressure off for once haha.
Q: where do you get your inspiration when you are writing songs?
---inspiration is everywhere, and I never usually "get it:" it finds me.
Q: You did a couple of shows before, would there be more in the future?
---I’m 100% planning a full U.S tour for this summer.
Q: how is performing like compare to writing and singing in the studio?
---performing is the reason why you write and sing in the studio. its the chance to show everyone in person exactly what you do and how you do it.
Q: now one of the most interested questions from our reader is “Are you single?”, and what kind of girls interest you?
---yes, I am single. But I am an equal opportunity employer, so I never pin point an exact "type." haha, but great question.
Q: your songs are pretty together, how long does it take to really tune yourself into writing with all the instruments into one piece of work? Is it hard?
---never "hard," per say, but always different. some songs i can write and finish in a few hours, and others will take weeks, maybe even months to fully come together.
Q: now if anyone wish to contact you for a show, who and where should they call?
---call me, or my record label "Lobster/Oort Records." You can e-mail me at Rocky88@aol.com any time.
Q: who is you inspiration musically?
---Muse, Taking back Sunday, Brand new, Alaline trio, Avett brothers, Straylight run, Fall Out Boys, My Chemical Romance, just to name a few of very very very many.
Q: are there any artist or producer that you’d like to work with?
---would love to work with any of the bands I mentioned above.
Q: will we be expecting any new music soon or touring?
---touring for the summer, and new music is all around me every day - its just a matter of when i get around to recording it...
Q: now before we leave, would you like to say anything to all your fans out there?
---thanks for all your support, and make sure you come hang out at a show some time soon!
Thanks again for sitting down with us and answering our questions.
All the Best.
