Jason William – „HOPE“ + Exclusive Interview

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?

Hey, thank you very much for having me! That’s actually a really good question. I’ve never really thought about what drink would fit the experience of listening to my new song, but spontaneously I’d say an Old Fashioned would be a good fit.

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

There are definitely more singles to come. We haven’t quite talked about when we should work on an album, but I don’t think it’ll be that far in the future. At the moment I’m supporting SASHA at two shows in Soest (02.09.) and Emden (03.09.); we’re already planning more shows for 2023.

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

I’d really like to think Michael Jackson was still alive and would make the single most crazy comeback.

What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?

Well I’ve always tried to portray a modern dandy, and I think that fashion style would also suit my music best. I think my songs definitely fit into this huge genre of pop music, but they’re still somewhat special, somewhat outstanding.

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

My songs are basically about what I’m thinking, what I’ve experienced or what I’m feeling, oftentimes a mix of everything. In my new single ‘HOPE’ I wanted to portray my thoughts about hope and implement why it’s so important.

Beside music, do you have any special talents?

I actually really enjoy making cocktails. Lately I’ve kinda neglected that hobby, but I’m trying to get more into it again.

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

I may not be that old, but I’m packing passion and ambition

My music is coming right from my heart

I won’t give up on making music, because it’s what I love doing

I never really learned playing instruments, but I think I now my way around the one’s I want to play

Coffee is probably the single most important thing to me while writing new songs

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

I started singing my favorite songs at the age of 9. At 12 year old I first started singing lessons and from then on things just started progressing, so now I’m here! I still have a lot to learn but I’m open and ambitious.

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

How did ‘HOPE’ come about?

It actually started with me and my producer, sitting in the studio with a chord progression we came up with. Out of nowhere I started singing a fairly high pitched ‘HOPE’ into the mic butt we didn’t come up with anything else that day. On the next day so many ideas just came flooding out; we finished the lyrics on that day.
