Talking about American Idol. I was digging in my Facebook yesterday because I was a bit down and then Colton Swon came online, whom we have done a review feature in the past. We chatted a bit. I half jokingly remind him my interview and he said let’s do it right then and there. As we all know that Colton is one of the participants American Idol last year. But he didn’t get through Hollywood week. Trust me he got fantastic voice and talent. You can check out his sound at http://www.myspace.com/coltonswon . He and his brother is running all over the state for their university and college run. you may look at where they’ll perform near you next. This is probably the most natural and spontaneous interview we ever had with an artist!!Enjoy!!!
J – Jonathan
C - Colton
J: Say Colton, how long has it been when you first decide to make music?
C: I started singing at 3 yrs old and performing since i was 6, ever since then I hasn’t stopped
J: That’s a long time to have been a singer. How did you pass your voice change and the whole growing up thing?
C:well worked through it was tough I went from sounding like a high pitched lil kid to a stronger male voice but in this times lowering all the keys of my songs lol
J: most of us first know you from the AI competition. Did you get any great experience out of that?
C: Really Great, It was my first venture off by myself and let me know there was a big world out there outside of Oklahoma, and I’ve met some lifelong friends off the show
J: It is a shame that AI didn’t put you through, we think your music is fantastic. How would you describe your music?
C: Pop/ Rock/ Country with roots of Christian music shining through in some lyrics
J: your music is totally natural and soothing. We love it. How do you come about writing these amazing music?
C: Thank you so much , they all come about different lol, My brother and I don’t have any set rules or formats when we create a new tune, some of our best songs came from being bored at 3 in the morning.
J: I C, late nights and plenty of soda? HAHA!!!
how does writing music compare to live performance? Which one you like more?
C:if I had to pick I like performing better, due to the fact you get to interact with people and i love people, they are one of my passions, without fans and people showing up to concerts then who would i perform for? The mirror lol which would get old
J: who is your music idol?
C: I don’t have idols just influences and favorites, The Hinsons, (old southern gospel group) The Eagles, Keith Urban, John Mayer, Ray Charles, Richochet, so many man, in all genres I can’t single them out
Journey
J: You did some work with your brother and some former AI contestants together on the road. How do you feel about touring USA and playing gigs from one city to another the next day?C:I love it man the busier the better, I’m not going to school and I’m taking a risk not getting a degree at this moment but i want to follow my dreams which is touring and playing all over, do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life
J: great we wish you all the success man. what’s the next project you have up your sleeve for 2009?
