Interviews

Hi everyone,



it has been a real busy and exciting week for me. I secured 2 local newspaper interviews for my client, Earth Modes Sanskrit.



The first interview was conducted by a journalist from Life! Straits Times. Straits Time is the main English newspaper in Singapore. We met at The Arts House. As one of the band members, Jamal Nasser, play an unusual musical instrument, the didgeridoo, the journalist was interested to cover the band leader and another one of the member. The journalist also got her photographer to take a few shots of the band members to publish on the article.



I believe it was an eye-opener for her as Jamal introduced to her the different techniques of blowing the wind instrument, didgeridoo. And Bryan Lucas, another percussionist in the band, was also giving her tips about playing the Middle Eastern Drum, Darbuka. She also asked questions like how did the band form, what are the major performances that the band has participated in, how often did they practice, their experiences, etc.


The article was released on Saturday's Life! Edition.

The 2nd interview was with Berita Harian, our local main Malay news paper. The journalist name is Norman Sawi, he has already have 3 years experience writing for the papers. He is a very jovial journalist and the entire band enjoyed the interview. Although this was a short interview, it was a good opportunity as Norman has offered an opportunity to be featured in their new monthly magazine, Sutra. Look forward to that!

Then came the big day for THE performance!. They played 4 songs and the response was simply overwhelming. The crowd clapped together with the rhythm and more and more people joined the performance.

It was a really good experience handling the band's publicity!
