HEY FRIEND ANSWER IS......
First, let me share with you my most recent published interview: I’m A Defeatist But I Don’t Have To Be: A Conversation With Eisley’s Sherri DuPree-Bemis
It’s one I’m proud of, because it’s insightful, thought-provoking, and interesting. She’s not an easy interview subject; she’s often quite guarded. But she had a lot to say, because I knew what I was asking, and that only comes from doing the most important thing:
Do your homework. Most artists take interviews during press cycles, and so the question you think might be one that’s so original may very well be one that they’ve been asked twenty times already in the week before your interview. Sometimes, when musicians get questions like this, they can get annoyed, bored, or rather apathetic in their responses. That’s not to say certain questions should be off-limits, but you should find a way to take a question like that and flip it around a little bit, to offer a new dimension to it. For instance:
What was it like to work in that big and fancy studio in California for your new album?
That’s kind of dull. Instead:
You made your previous records in Denver in your home studio, and you did well with those records. For your new album, you made the decision to go to California to work in legendary studio X. What prompted that decision, considering how your other records were made? What did you gather from the experience from working in such a new way?
See the difference? Same question, but a more nuanced approach, and one that leaves you open for more naturally flowing follow-up questions, as opposed to awkward ones.
If you do your homework, you’ll pick up on certain trends:
What subjects have been the primary focus in recent interviewsWhat subjects are being avoided in recent interviewsWhat subjects are to be avoided based upon their responses
