Entretien avec Aleah Fitzwater

Parle-nous de toi, qui es-tu et d'où viens-tu ?

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.

Comment est née ta passion pour la musique ? Qui sont tes idoles ?

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.

Quel genre de musique fais-tu ?

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.

Quelle est la chanson la plus importante pour toi ? Quel message veux-tu transmettre à l'auditeur ?

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.

Pourquoi un auditeur qui ne te connaît pas devrait-il écouter ta musique ?

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

Quels sont tes projets futurs ? Où te vois-tu dans 5 ans ?

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.

Raconte à nos lecteurs un épisode amusant qui s'est produit dans ta carrière d'artiste.

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.
