Interview – Professor Elemental

Do you feel that the abundance of recorded music that is easily available on the internet has led people to place more importance on the live experience as the ‘authentic’ way to hear music?
Yes, I think that’s one of the big advantages a musician has now. I definitely get a lot of people coming to see me live on that kind of basis. That’s why it’s all the more important to have a memorable live show and lots of merch and music to sell while you are there.

How useful do you think social media (such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc) is for up-and-coming musicians and artists?
It is HUGE, you can’t underestimate it. My entire music career has been launched by a single YouTube video and is maintained by Twitter, Facebook and the like. But it is worth being smart about it, there is no point in bombarding your fans with endless ads. Myspace is a good example of how musicians who over sell themselves can lose impact very quickly. Find your market and get to know your fans. I still get excited when I chat to a rapper I love on Twitter, I think you can build a genuine relationship with the people who listen to your music in a way you have never been able to before.
