* Martin Confused
* Music / Country, indie-pop
* «First performance as Martin Confused was in spring 2007 at «Rozā Peldbaseins» festival. The first time I held guitar in my hands was in middle school.. about 8 years ago. I played french horn before that. Symphonic music still is very close to my heart.»
* «When writing a song, music comes first. Then everything else. I write all lyrics myself. These usually are short stories about me and people around. I don’t like it too much that people refering to me as a singer-songwriter. It usually is associated to a bard, poet – the kind of person, who tells the stories through words. I am not that kind of person at all, I think music is a much stronger medium than words to express ones emotions, therefore song lyrics are always secondary comparing to music.»
* «Currently my favorite whiskey is Laphroig.»
* «I have a lot of small dreams, which I try to fulfill. But there is no particular big dream – my vision and outlook changes all the time – things find their places and all I do is try to stay in harmony with all this flow.»
* «I try to avoid lies and violence»
* «Music isn’t my livelihood. I don’t want to ruin this magic by turning it into everyday routine. It might sounds prophetic but I didn’t have the choice either to start doing this or not. The only question was when and how. The fact that now I am recording songs and they are playing on radio stations is more of a logical outcome, that could have never happened. After all I am not any kind of super star, I do not earn thousands – I would gladly pass this role to someone else, who will do it better. Money and fame for sure are not my leitmotivs. I love music too much to really not be doing it.»
* «Current favorite musicians : Rufus Wainwright and Ron Sexsmith, also band Wild Beasts.»
* «Music in my life is a lot of sleepless nights, financial costs, half-life in concerts and suffering in moments, when it looks like there is no sense and nothing is right – in other words I like it a lot and I don’t plan to stop ;> Music takes a lot of my energy, but it gives me even more.»
