Artist Interview

Our favorite musical artists have earned that status because of certain qualities that appeal to our unique sensibilities. The opportunity to spend some time with our favorite artist is a rare chance to gain insight into their appeal.
Using the Sonny Rollins interview as a model, you are going to conduct an interview with your favorite musical artist. The interview should be in a converstional style not a simple question answer format. (see Sonny Rollins interview)Make sure to find the answers to the following questions in your interview:
  • How did you first get involved with music?
  • What were your earliest influences?
  • What is the thing you most enjoy about making music?
  • Are there other artists that you enjoy listening to these days?
  • How do you want to be remembered?
You can use internet sources to get more background on your chosen artist. Please cite your sources at the end of the interview. Do not cut and paste, restate any information in your own words.
The interview must be submitted by Monday 3/18/13

You do not need to limit your interview to these questions, but they should be the starting point. Your completed interview should be in the 650-750 word range.

This assignment will count as a quiz grade
