Get to Know Robert Watson
Are you inspired by anyone or anything when creating your music?
"I just go with the flow. Sometimes it takes an idea. Sometimes it takes inspiration, too. I would pick up a guitar and fool around on it for a while.Jimi Hendrix inspired me to play the guitar. He was the ultimate one for me."
When did you become interested in creating this kind of musical mix?
"I became interested in creating psychedelic-experimental rock music because I felt there was something missing in today's music that didn't have the depth or the soul. I wanted to revive the psychedelic into the music without making it too poppy. I wanted to mix it with funk, jam band, soul, blues, jazz, R&B, and rock."
What are your fans comments to your eclectic style of music?
"They really like my music. I always appreciate that. My fans know that I will never give them any crappy music because that's not me. I want my fans to think about something when it comes to my music. Plus, I'm real with my music. I like to give them positive vibes."
Have you received any influence from family members?
"They have given me the support for me to do my music. I am doing what I want to do."
As a musical artist, which, song have you enjoyed creating the most?
"Positivity" is the one that I enjoyed creating the most because I was going for an early 1970's soul feel with that one.
How far do you want to go in the music industry?
"I don't care about being rich and famous. I just want to keep doing what I want to do and create. To me, creating my music. That's my art. Staying true to myself."
What has been your biggest musical accomplishment?
"Finally putting out my debut CD called "Balance" which is available right now on iTunes, Amazon MP3, LimeWire, and eMusic. I self released it without a record label. I wrote, produced, mixed, and mastered it myself."
How has the economy affected your musical career?
"It hasn't affected me in any way because I'm not playing out anywhere right now. I'm still writing new instrumental experimental songs every day."
