Interview with Drummer Everett Jonas of Amenazar

By Mick Michaels

Cosmick View: Hello, Everett! Welcome to The Cosmick View. Thanks for taking some time out of your day to speak with us. It's greatly appreciated.

CV: What do you feel is the allure your music has over competing artists and bands in your genre? What has them taking notice in your opinion?
Everett Jonas: I feel our music is what sets us apart from other bands. The songs are structured and well written. There's something for everyone to enjoy.

CV: Do you think internet radio is a valuable resource as a modern mainstream outlet for both upcoming and established artists? If so, why and if not, why not?
EJ: Absolutely. Everyone is tied to the internet in some form or fashion today. More and more people are listening to internet radio while moving through the information highway. Any help getting your music out there to the masses is good for any artist at any level.

CV: In your opinion, can an artist truly be independent given an industry that relies heavily on big budgets and massive fan appreciation?
EJ: Yes. Our band is an example of how any artist can be independent. I am not saying it’s easy. There are several platforms and tools available that are tailored to support independent artist today.

CV: Tell us a little about your current project? What can listeners expect to hear? What makes it stand out in your opinion?
EJ: I our current project shows growth as musicians and as a band. Listeners can expect some well-crafted songs with good solid rock n roll...there's no gimmicks. Our songs are very likeable and you should be able to groove to them.

CV: Music has a way of expressing things that words sometimes seem to fail at. How has music helped you better express yourself?
EJ: By giving me an emotional outlet as a drummer, I express myself by playing a major part in constructing and guiding our songs.

CV: What do you feel your music is saying to the world? And do you feel that message is being heard?
EJ: I can't speak for the world, it's up to the listeners to take what they want from our music...whatever message they want to hear is up to them.

CV: What do you believe your greatest asset is as an artist? How have you seen that asset benefit yourself and others?
EJ: My greatest asset is making the songs high and tight....to me it benefits the listeners...and not just myself.

CV: What more can fans expect to see coming from you in the near future?
EJ: As long as they will tune in and give us a listen, they can expect more driven rock n roll...solid ass groovers!

CV: Thanks again Everett for taking the time to share with our readers. We wish you all the best and continued success.

My name is Mick Michaels...I'm an artist, music fan, songwriter, producer, show host, dreamer and guitarist for the traditional Heavy Metal band Corners of Sanctuary. Writing has always been a creative outlet for me; what I couldn't say in speech, I was able to do with the written word. Writing has given me a voice and a way for me to create on a multitude of platforms including music and song, articles, independent screenplays, books and now, artist interviews. The Cosmick View is an opportunity to raise the bar and showcase artists in a positive and inspirational light. For me, it's another out-of-this-world adventure.
