Interview with Erik Kottzen

📺 1- When/how did you hear about Second Life?

It was a friend that showed me on facebook, he was following me on facebook and asked me if I already heard about SL music scene and then I decided to check =)

📺 2-How did music come into your life, and what instruments do you play?

I’m multi instrumentist. I play, guitar, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, drums and sing. When I was a child my dad gave me an Acoustic guitar and said me that I would like to learn, so I started, my dad is also a musician.

📺 3-How would you describe your style, and how has it evolved over the years?

I use to say I’m rock singer! I always listened rock and roll, hard rock and heavy metal since I was a teen, and then I was trying to learn guitar solos from famous songs and later I started to sing those songs too. But I can sing anything.

📺 4-What is the most meaningful aspect of the SL music community to you?

SL Music community is beautiful cause there’s lots of ppl withing SL that never been in a LIVE show in real before, for me the most meaningful aspect of this is that it can make ppl happy when they need to listen live music and can’t afford for this or can’t go to a concert for any reason.

📺 5-WHAT’S YOUR MESSAGE TO THE NEW PEOPLE WHO ALSO DREAM OF THEIR PLACE IN THE SUN IN MUSIC?

Constancy and insistence, SL is not like RL that you can compose a song and release and suddenly it could be viral, no, here in SL most of the singers and musicians are doing cover, so we need to be ourselves and reach for something different from each other and as soon we start to make concerts, don’t stop!
