    GTR Interwiev     The 28th of may we had the utmost pleasure to interview Jartse Tuominen, Doug Blair and Hannu Leiden before their show in the local cultural centre Kino Marylin. It was an incredible honour to had the chance to meet and talk with such excelent musician and great human beings. Q. Would you like to introduce yourself for our followers ? A. (Douglas Blair - D.B.) I'm Doug, I'm originally from Connetticut, but I relocated in Turku, Finland, on 2014 to work in a band coaching program. I've been playing in bands since I was 9 so i have a lot to tell to these young people about what NOT to do and why NOT to be in a band. The coaching program has been really fun and through the small net and web of people knowing each other in Finland, probably two or three steps away, I met Jarste, because I saw the poster for his GTR tour in a music store, and since the moment I saw the poster, I wanted to be involved on this GTR tour ! (Hannu Leiden - H.L.) I'm Hannu...

  Here we are family for a brand new interview with an old friend of ours : Steven Sedalia,  for the release of his new EP '' The Original Giver '' We have been following Steven since the beginning and we're amazed of the great work he has done, growing constantly yet remaining true to himself. We highly recommend Steven music, and if you never had the chance to listen to him, well this is the right moment ! Hi Steven ! we met the last time on october 2019 when Mauna was released. At that time very little we knew of what it would soon be happening in the world. Our collective and personal lives have been shaken from this global sanitary emergency. How have you coped with all of this ? Music. Creating. The way that I remedy chaos is to create in it, to be inside the storm and sing my way through it. To continue to explore and push myself creatively is the best solution for my mental health. You have just released a new EP  'The original Giver'. Tell us...

We are finally starting again to live. Now that we are freer and back to a semi-normal life everything is better for my writing process and life in general.  Would you like to introduce yourself to our listeners? Sure! I am Cold, I’m from Ostia and I’m a rapper. I started with listening to punk and rock music. When I was 14 I then discovered Tupac and my life completely changed; because in his songs he was exactly telling about the anger and difficulties of the youth. Then is when my path as a rapper started. My first album came out last year’s July and is called “Ho visto” which sees a lot of collaboration with the Milan scene. Including Biggie ...
