John Orpheus „90’s Fool“ + Exclusive Interview

1. Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to zip on while they listen to your new music?

Alize Gold Passion Cognac.

2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?! It’s mango season my friend. The time of plenty.

The new single GET RIGHT came out last month and this month we followed up with 90s FOOL. They’re both major bops. The full EP GET RIGHT! is due June 21st. No German tour dates as yet but we are working on this!

3. We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which, harmless, theory would you wish were true? (For example Dinos living inside Earth or E.T. living in a home in California).

That Tupac is alive and recording his comeback album.

4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?

Actually I’m looking for recommendations. It would be the one that has men’s silk suits for all occasions.

5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?

My songs are typically two types (I’m a Gemini so they are diametrically opposed to each other): Life of the party and Soulful Philosopher. It is the equivalent of taking a drug to get super up and about and then the come down after the drug wears off. Not that I recommend taking drugs. I have been told this by researchers of the finest variety.

6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?

Well I am a renowned author with several books published in Canada and America. But I also can make balloon animals with my baby toes.

7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!

1. There are no genres. Rock? Funk? Hiphop? Dancehall? They’re all in the same place.

2. If you came to stand around, you came to the wrong place.

3. There are no eras. No old school or new school. There is only one school: THE WHOLE SCHOOL.

4. My music sounds like I only wear ladies accessories (sunglasses, bracelets, chains) because…I only wear ladies accessories.

5. GET UP! GET DOWN! GET RIGHT!

8. How did you learn to sing/ to write/ to play??

One night I heard mama and papa talking. I heard papa tell mama: „Let that boy boogie woogie. He got it in him and it’s got to come out!“

9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls 

Question: When you cuddle are you the big spoon or little spoon?

Answer: I swing both ways.
