Interview with Upcoming Artist: Ethan Striker

1. How would you describe your musical style?

I would describe it as something that you won’t forget. Now you may ask, what do you mean?

Well, I like Pro Wrestling a little too much and most of my ideas and style come from that business. It’s like Ric Flair, stylin’ and profilin’. Woo!

2. What is the first album you owned?

I’ve never owned an album, although in this time and age, you could download a full album on Youtube and Spotify in which, in that case, that would be Bad Bunny’s X100Pre album.

3. How do you prepare before going up on stage?

I prepare myself by doing Warm ups like the Lip Thrill, going through the scale with some vocal recordings I have from a Singing Teacher and drink some Ginger Tea.

4. If we’re going to buy you a drink, what should it be?

Coffee! I drink coffee for days! At morning and sometimes at night.

5. What’s a song that has been stuck in your head these days?

Lately, I’ve been listening to Rauw Alejandro & De la Ghetto’s “Loco por Perrearte” and Bad Bunny’s “Titi Me Pregunto” but there’s so much music out there!

6. Who’s your favorite artist?

I’ve got plenty from different genres and for different moods so there’s not one specifically. I could say: The Weeknd, Rauw Alejandro & Bruno Mars

7. Tell us about the first song you made. Was it a success or a failure?

Does it count if I said both? Haha

I can say this: A little bit of a success since the people around me were surprised by how catchy it was and that I was throwing bars. At the same time, A little bit of a failure as the song didn’t gain traction.

8. What is the story behind “DURO”

The song “Duro”, which is a reggaeton song, was created based on me wanting to create a song that is, like the title says in spanish: “HARD”

Now, since it’s in reggaeton, it had to be a song in which you can move and dance with someone. I wanted a song that you can put in the club and go all out. I was just searching on type beats on Youtube, found one that I liked, sang some melodies and wrote from those melodies with having in mind that it needs to be relatable and danceable.

9.If you could pick one or the other, what would you choose, the money or the fame?

I’d choose money. That way, I can do whatever I want and also invest. Fame, I’d say, is only temporary and being broke with fame is sure as hell going to be a miserable life. Also, there would be no privacy with the paparazzi around you.

10.If you could go back in time or in the future, which one would you choose and why?

Back in time.

Reason being that maybe if I can go back in time, I could actually spend more time doing stuff that would actually serve me well in life later on.

Playing video games as a kid, call of duty for example, didn’t make me a skilled marksman haha
