Stereo MCs Chat To ilikemusic

ILM: Indeed. You need creative people, not just business people...

Nick: Yeah. Eventually I'm sure it will level off and there will still be ways for people to make money. Then I think the general public will feel less ripped off.

ILM: If you could offer any advice to someone wanting to start out in the music industry what would it be?

Nick: I think if you're a band then go out and play as many gigs as you can. Build things up like that. Do it yourself before you get tempted. Even if someone offers you £150,000 grand, make sure it is the right thing for you. It is very tempting when someone offers you a lot of money but it's not always what it seems. You've got to believe in yourself and if you can't be bothered to go out and do gigs then just give up.

ILM: Keep that passion going...

Nick: Absolutley. Make it real. Make it real for yourself, not just a record company product.

ILM: If you could change one thing about modern society, what would it be?

Nick: I think it would be good for people to give themselves the power to decide how they can, it sounds corny, but make the world a better place. You get the feeling that nobody really wants to do anything about anything. About pollution, crime, everything that is going on at the moment. Things are pretty weird. I would love it if normal people would just put the decision into their own hands. Do something, not just wait until it's so bad that cars are banned...or something. I wish people would take the initiative and realise what it is about. Their future. Their childrens future. Why wouldn't you do something about it?page << 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 >>
