Soul GP

I personaly know him as Sergio since a few years ago, but I already know him even earlier as Soul GP because his fame is great. After a period of time no releasing anything new, this big boss of the music comes back.

This photo is a bit old, but two years (since I did it) haven´t change him anyway.
He is nowadays one of the most promising composers of the Basque Country and I´ve got the proud of interviewing him.

He is now working hard in a new concept of music which is going to mix his chill out and his voice singing poetry of his very own authority. This will have the name of ``End of Love´´ and because of that, I´m going to speak with him about feelings.



-First of all Soul, Why did you begin in the world of Music?

Soul GP: Well, I have to say that as many others, my life was very influenced by rap music, so was that conection with the music, that I thought to make my own music because I was a bit tired of using the same bases as many other beginners usually did.

-How could you describe your first steps?

Soul GP: It was easy. I saved a lot of money for some time. I bought some books about music and the scales, I downloaded some very basic programmes for composing music bases, and the rest of the story is a maremagnum of long hours sweating for the right rhythm, sleepless nights in front of the computer and a lot of effort.

- Now, Do you believe in Love? Does it exist or it is just an invention of the society?

Soul GP: (Laughs) Interesting question for a person who has just splitted up with his girlfriend, she did indeed. Well, I´m now very scephtic. If you asked me when I was with her this wasn´t going to be a very short answer, but know I can only say that love is a chemical process. There´s no reason to fall in love the inner chemistry of our bodies (he sighs). The important thing is enjoying the moment. Carpe diem.

- There are many artists lately that express theirselves in many ways. Do you think that the feelings can inspire you?

Soul GP: Good question. I have to conclude that over all, the most inspirating ones are the baddest. The lonelyness can bring you a lot of pain, but it also means a lot of time to think about things that never crossed your mind when you are with someone.

-Good Answer, Finally and I don´t want to interrupt your work even more (he gave me 5 minutes), Do you think that the artist is born or it is done?

Soul GP: It is born, but anyway you must have the means to exploit your potential. Sooner or later, you find what you have to do and how to do it, no matter what´s your potential, to sing, to play the piano or to build up boats inside a bottle.

Thank you very much and Good Luck with your project
