Introduction… Del Marquis
I’ve never kept a blog before. I don’t twitter, and I’m sh*te at keeping up my personal web pages; Myspace, Facebook, etc. Too much information, too much being shared and not enough mystery. If I truly knew the artists who made the music I loved, I would probably love it less. I’ve met some heroes in my short pop career, but mostly I prefer to know them by the songs they sing, and not by their up-close faces, offstage drama or everyday realness.
But here goes…
I have spent the past year cultivating a project that is very close to my heart, and for that reason it is impossible not to take things personally. The low blows are especially low and the highs, thrilling.
In Scissor Sisters, I can keep things at a distance, my offstage personality is a world away from my everyday one. Creating a stage personae was organic, the person onstage is still very much me, but someone who would otherwise be too bold in everyday life to fit in, you are allowed so much more liberties as a performer, and it is an amazing rush.
So now that I have to get people up to date on what I’ve been doing , solo-wise, it’s important for me to make the distinction between these two musical beings. My output as a solo artist is through an independent label set up by my friends and I (Embryoroom). There isn’t one element that isn’t handled personally to completion by our small group of three people; artwork, video, production, and to a degree management and promotion.
Why contribute more audio noise to an already saturated world ? Cause this project is goddamn important and needs to be heard, that’s why.
More soon.
