5 QUESTIONS
SAINT KOCHI WHO ARE YOU?
and that felt like a bit of a bad decision.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
I am in the process of writing new music. I think the plan will be to put out another EP early into next year. For me this new EP is musically all about realising dreams and is really going to be reflective of that sonically, which is something I am really excited about. I hope to push myself in terms of arrangements and instrumentation outside of what I have been able to achieve so far and hopefully it’s going to turn out to be something special!
I am Saint Kochi a musician living in East London! I make music! I built a studio in the basement of my house over the first horrible lockdown and wrote and recorded an EP in it... much to my neighbours dismay.
WHY DO YOU DO IT?
I think I have played music for as long as I can remember, its always been a big part of my life. I stopped making it and didn’t pick up a guitar for a few years as I felt a little disillusioned about the music industry as a whole, but kind of realised that I was just stopping doing something that I loved out of spite maybe Words by Saint Kochi
WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW?
WHAT'S THE HOT TOPIC?
Probably a boring one but streaming. I think the 35
streaming platforms have been amazing for opening up the industry and putting a lot of control back into the hands of artists, there is a real route to fans and a more honest experience from that perspective of how we all consume music on some levels, but it's still a shitty deal for an artist and I think creativity can end up being a little stifled because people simply don’t have the resources to make or realise what they have the capability of making and that needs to change!.
