A: Shadow Of The Giant is the Rap/Rock and somewhat Experimental Rock group that me and my bandmate Brandon Welp formed a year ago.
Q: How did you and your band mates meet?
A: We met in school, we had a science class sophomore year, but we rarely talked. We had another science class Senior year together, and he heard from word of mouth that I rapped for a school project. We talked about music and how we both make it. This is where it gets weird. Once he left the class, we stopped talking for a few months since I didn't know him too well, but he added me on Facebook one night and said he's ready to jam when I am. I was working on my solo (unreleased) album at the time named Wizzkey, so I had no plans to start a band or duo. Well when I got more into a Rock mood I wanted to be a Rap/Rock band, So I told him to come to my house and the rest is history. I know consider him my best friend.
Q: Who are your music influences?
A: I find inspiration in everything except mainstream rap and pop...so everything.
Q:Whats the deal with your band page on FB?
A: Like my bands page and I will give you two exclusive unreleased C-wizz songs. Both from when I was recovering from being sick, unrelated to my band's music http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shadow-Of-The-Giant/228867200549405
Q:What does the future hold?
A: Me and my friends Nick and Abraham have a 6 track Split EP/Beat Tape together (6 beats each). I did an Indie-Dance beat and a Dubstep beat..that'll be out probably.Then the rest is my band, finishing up, mixing,mastering our music, possibly recruiting more members, (at least for performing),shooting a music video or two, and finally working on more music, I'm done as a solo artist, now it's just Shadow Of The Giant
Q:What was the first album you remember buying?
A:Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem
Q:Who would you like to work with in the future?
A:Marylin Manson, hands down. Hayley Williams would be SWEET, Eminem is a good stretch. Thats the main three for now, my "musical genius" list
Q:Would you consider your band a single genre band or mixture?
A:Mixture BIG time. Brandon is the Drummer and Guitarist and additional Synth. I am the Rapper, Synth/Piano guy and some Bass. We both come from almost the same background musically, but we still have our differences, and all that is mixed in the pot. We have some electronic based synths, some heavy guitars, some rapping, some screaming, some piano, some violin, sky is the limit with us. What sounds good to us is what we will go with.
Q:What message do you want to deliver to today's youth and why?
A:Don't give up...Life can be hard, i almost died of a disease, I've been poor, I'm 19 and life can be really hard, just keep fighting as much as you can. Suicide isn't an option.
Q:What advice would you give to someone that doesn't have the confidence to follow his or her dream?
A:Fuck what other people think...do what you love to do and not worry about other people
Q:Where can potential listeners get your music?
