FREDDIE LONG – ‘IN YOUR ARMS’ + Exclusive Interview

1. Hello, thank you for your time, please introduce yourself in a few words!

Hello. I’m Freddie Long, and I’m a musician from a small town near Brighton. I’m currently releasing all my music through my self setup label called Banana Split.

2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!

I’m excited to share my new single ‘In Your Arms’. Which came out Friday 18th June. It’s the first single from my upcoming EP ‘Motion’. It’s the first project of music I’ve put out since my last EP ’These Darker Days’. I wanted to connect and build on the sound from that EP. I feel this EP is more electronic in certain elements. Which is something myself and co-producer Anders Hojer wanted to bring out. Give it that ‘pop’ element but also introduced strange synth sounds and reversed vocals to add texture and character.

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

I’ve released all my music to date independently through my label Banana Split.

I make all the content, editing and filming most things in and around the house. Learning how to do most things through Youtube tutorials.

Playing live is what I love the most about being a musician. Can’t wait to get back out.

I co-produced this next EP with Anders Hojer.

I love pizza. No joke.

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

Hard to select one as there’s so much inspiration around at the moment. Right now I’m heavily inspired by Korean military streetwear.

5. Do you have bad habits? A guilty pleasure you can’t seem to quit?

I think probably a few… right now I’m hooked on Below Deck the TV show. It’s trash TV but entertaining and I can’t stop watching. A definite guilty pleasure.

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

I once put 30 grapes in my mouth.

7. Being on stage feels like….!

A crazy moment which you completely lose yourself in. Damn I miss it.

8. Must Have – and No-Go in your Wardrobe! – Favourite Fashion Brand and Fragrance?

Must have – Some sort of loose fitted, patterned trousers. At the moment I’m also into my neck scarves.

No-Go’s – Tight jeans.

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

Do you believe in Aliens? YES. Area 51 has some crazy stuff going down. There’s got to be another sort of species on this planet.
