Interview With Den-Paq
Have you always been interested in music?
it all started one Christmas night, I was 14, my mother bought a small acoustic guitar for my sister Linda who was 12 and wanted to learn music but life is sometimes weird, it was me who was enchanted by this guitar, I spent hours and hours having fun and trying to play some easy pieces, later my parents bought me my first electric guitar at 16.
I started playing with other musician friends and the dream of becoming a famous group and earning our living with music was bigger and bigger but life being what it is, other occupations lead us to earn our lives differently, but I never stopped playing guitar and composing my own songs, and I continue to dream of music every day.
What are you working on now? Any future releases we can look forward to?
For now and for some time I am in mixing mode of my old compositions, the technology is continually changing and I am working on remixing to increase the sound quality in my humble home studio.
What Is Your Ultimate Goal In The Music Industry?
My goal is to make my music known throughout the world, and by the same token maybe someone from the industry or elsewhere would have the means to bring my music to a higher level in sound quality and maybe even to form a group of young musicians to produce them in shows or use them in films. That would be my dream.
What Has Been The Biggest Challenge In Your Career Thus Far?
The biggest challenge was finding musicians interested in composing and thinking big.
How do you go about writing a song? Do you have a melody in your head and then write the other music for it or what’s Your typical songwriting process?
First, I jam with my guitar and my electronic drum to find riffs that I like, then find interactions of several riffs to make a musical piece, after I include the bass, keyboard, improvised vocal scores and by the same fact the inspiration leads me into the imagination of what this new musical piece will become, then I write the real lyrics and finalize everything by working on my videos.
How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?
Happy are the young people of these days, it’s the opening of this world, I would have liked to have this opportunity of using the internet as a promotion tool in my youth.
You can find everything you are looking for and make your music known throughout the world.
However, beware of the negative, the scammers are on the lookout, I have tasted it a few times personally.
List some famous musicians currently on your playlist?
Roger Waters, David Gilmore, Ted Nugent, Steve vay, Robert Fripp, Freddy Mercury, Genesis, Nightwish
What Did You Do Before You Started Making Music?
It’s been only music all along. I was attracted to music at a very young age, I always wanted to be a good musician and I continue to play the guitar to try to become one.
Would you have any advice for young people wanting to follow in your footsteps?
If you have a dream and you can achieve it, try it while you are young, because life goes by quickly.
If you could change anything about the music industry, what would it be?
I don’t really know what to think, but one thing is for sure, if you make good music it will make its way on its own, but will you be rewarded properly?
How do you feel about originality?
I am a progressive rock composer, so originality is the basis of my music in my opinion, complicated or easy goal, you must be original.
Is there anything else we should know about you? or Something that you would like to add?
My life was a musical dream, If God allows me, I will continue to compose my songs as long as I live and if possible, even after.
