Muso chats about his music
MIDRAND - Upcoming singer and songwriter Matthew Mole had a chat with Roxy Blows, and Midrand Reporter at Mix FM.
The 21-year-old from Capetown who currently lives in Craighall Park, said he is proud of his music.
In July Mole made history by becoming South Africa’s first artist to enter the iTunes album chart at No 1. His debut album called The Home We Built has drawn a lot of local and international attention.
He said he was excited about the achievement, as an upcoming artist. Mole’s music is a combination of electronic and folk music.
A week ago Mole recorded a video for the Take Yours, I’ll Take Mine song. The video will be out before the end of November. “The song is about finding your place in life. when I finished school I studied music production, those years inspired the direction my life has taken.” Mole said. Mix FM presenter Roxy Blows, asked Mole where the video was recorded. Mole said, “We went to 18 different locations around Johannesburg, even to gyms.”
Mole attended a MuseXpo in Russia at Vladivostok, a concert that showcases artists from all over the world. “It was an amazing time. Music really is a universal language. I sang English songs to a crowd that did not speak a word of English but they appreciated the sound.”
Mole admitted that as a musician at times you may forget a word in a song “but you can’t stop playing, you learn to laugh and engage with the crowd and play on”.
During the interview Mole sang his song Autumn which speaks of an end to a season of life to the start of a better one.
On 24 November Matthew Mole will be performing at Park Acoustics in Pretoria and at Parklife Festival in Johannesburg.
