Hayley Westenra chats to I Like Music


ILM: You've worked on a lot of film and TV themes too. What's your advice to musicians in getting into writing for film and TV?

HAYLEY: I haven't done any writing, I've just been lending my vocals to soundtracks. There's a drama series called Jekyll for the BBC. And I've recorded the vocals for the soundtrack as well as the theme song. There's a British film coming out called Flood, which I've sung the theme song for. What else? The Merchant of Venice starring Al Pacino, I sang the end titles song for that. It's really exciting because you get to see the visuals and you get to see the previews too. I'm doing some more recording for Jekyll tomorrow.

Once you get involved in one song, people start inviting you to get involved in other films. So if anyone wants to get into it, I guess, start small and work your way up really. Do a score for a small film and hopefully people will start taking notice and use you for a bigger film.

ILM: What songs do you enjoy playing live the most?

HAYLEY: Well in my shows, I include classical, folk and a bit of easy listening pop, so I take the audience on a real journey, and each style adds a lot to the concert, so it's really hard to choose. At the moment though, I'm a big fan of folk. I think the album is definitely folk influenced. But, I enjoy singing classical and pop as well. I like fusing styles together.

Hayley Westenra's new album, Treasure, is out now, released February 26, 2007.page << 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 >>
