Interview mit Aleah Fitzwater

Erzähl uns von dir, wer bist du und woher kommst du?

Hey there! My name is Aleah and I am a freelance journalist and small business owner with a passion for making popular rock and pop songs „flutified“. I am currently based in Southern Michigan, about an hour south of Detroit.

Wie wurde deine Leidenschaft für Musik geboren? Wer sind deine Vorbilder?

My passion for music was born at a very young age when I first stole my mom’s Irish Whistle. When Christmas came around, I found myself with a (much more complex) C flute. I took that and ran with it, and actually ended up majoring in instrumental music education, where I picked other instruments, like the piano. As far as musical idols go, I have many, such as flutist William Bennett (who I had the honor of meeting in a University workshop in 2018) all the way to Panic! At the Disco, and The Ronettes.

Welche Art von Musik machst du?

I am mainly focusing on arranging and recording classical-style flute and piano covers at the moment. That being said, I do have some original lyrics/ sketches of songs for uke and guitar that I hope to release someday.

Was ist der wichtigste Song für dich? Welche Botschaft willst du den Zuhörern vermitteln?

For right now, I’m really stuck on The Ronettes „Be My Baby“. The pervasive drum beat, and the rich harmonic language of those older songs, just pluck on my heartstrings and get stuck in my head. I want my music to feel like that.

Warum sollte ein Hörer, der dich nicht kennt, deine Musik hören?

They should listen because these custom flute arrangements take hours and hours to make! (I kid…mostly :D).

Was sind deine zukünftigen Projekte? Wo siehst du dich in 5 Jahren?

In 5 years from now (or perhaps closer to 1!) I hope to have an album of Pop-Pop/Emo covers for flute, as well as an original or two released.

Erzähle unseren Lesern eine lustige Episode aus deiner Karriere als Künstlerin.

The first time I ever performed on a stage, a spring popped in my instrument. For the entire performance my pianist and I exchanged horrified glances- My fingers were right, but every single note was wrong!! I don’t know why, but that’s just so funny to me that my instrument would break the first time I set foot on stage. Everyone in the audience was really nice about it afterwards, though.
