Ari of Somersault Sunday (Jenn)
Jenn: 15 years old! and you've got quite the fanbase. Did you ever think people would be buying your music on itunes?
Ari: well, It never really even crossed my mind until I realized how many kids started writing solo music, promoting on myspace, and then getting sales on iTunes. It's really cool to think that people are buying my stuff every month.
J: You say your music is the product of your emotions and life experiences, what's the story behind Wasted Time?
A: I wrote wasted time about how so many people live so stuck in their past and wanting to change something, that they lose track of what's ahead, and on a larger scale: I feel like our generation has a lot of problems in the world being handed to us, and we need to look to the future and make things the best we can.
J: If you end up making it big, would you want to form a band or keep SS a solo project? why or why not?
A: I think I would still wanna be solo, but continue to have a live band. I like being able to just deal with everything on your own, and not have to stress over planning to get together with your band to write songs, and no one can ever meet at the same times, and so on. It's easier, and I can do things exactly the way I envision them.
J: So you're an Owl City fan? Could you quote one of your favorite OC lyrics and tell me why it stands out to you?
A: Hmm.... that's a tough one. I think my favorite lyrics by Owl City would have to be in This is the Future, when Adam says, "dive in and swim away from your loneliness and miserable days. And when you wake up on you own, look around you you're not alone. release your high hopes, and they'll survive cause this is the future, and we are alive." I know that was long, but I love that song, sooooo peaceful. oh, and the lyrics in Meteor Shower!
J: If you could do a duet with anyone, who would it be?
A : hands down, Jordan Witzigrueter from The Ready Set
J: Which song of yours means the most to you and why?
A: hmm, probably This is our Summertime..... just kidding :P but really, I would say right now that Fake or Motion Sickness. Although, I'm working on writing some more and more meaningful stuff!
