Interview
Alex: With 340 million Google website hits, how are you feeling? How long have you been in the music game?
Mickey Strange: Wow! I didn’t even know!
Two weeks, just kidding I have to mess with you a little bit Alex…being old as the moon you know; I have been around a long time.
Alex: What got you into music and what keeps you going?
Mick: As far back as I can remember - I was singing on a picnic table with my Batman cape on and fell off and broke my collarbone. I don’t remember much after that…I have always been singing - always. What keeps me going? - I do it for me. It’s who I am. Record deal or no Record deal.
Put your faith not into men, for men only reflect the being that you are.
Alex: Who were some of your musical influences growing up?
Mick: In order – Jim Morrison, David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Peter Murphy – I have a real low voice.
I would have to say “Bowie” sent me over the edge…I’m terribly attracted to the bizarre.
The one major highlight of this past year was meeting “MikeGarson” I was really nervous – I think he knew it…what an amazing talent!!!
Alex: Where does the fantastic 'Mickey Strange' artwork come from?
Mick: LOL – I can’t draw a straight line if my life depended on it – seriously! I love art so much…I really do admire people that can draw and paint…then came Photoshop! I said “ah” what a great form of self-mutilation…LOL - I do all the pics with my phone and Photoshop.
Started school at Bauhaus Design 1919–1933 - I have been around a long time remember.
Alex: When you are creating lyrics or a new song, what types of things inspire you?
Mick: The Supernatural. I’ll leave it at that for now.
Alex: As a professional singer, would you mind giving us a few tips on projecting your voice or on some voice training exercises?
Mick: First of all no one is tone deaf. That is false information. Everyone can sing.
Ear Training for pitch control - musical notes have colors.
There is a breathing exercise called “Breath of the Dragonby Bruce Lee” most don’t know about.
Vibrato - start real slow - equals control.
Alex: Where can people check out your music online or in person?
Mick: Free downloads for everyone.
I’m hiding right now but coming out live real soon…
Alex: Thank you for the free downloads! That’s very cool of you! What can we look for in the future from Mickey Strange?
Mick:
As long as I am in the three-dimensional world – there will always be a song.
Keep up with the digital artwork – that I didn’t think anyone would really care about.
A lot of musical videos that I’m really excited about!
Alex: Mick! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy recording schedule to do an interview here at Celebrity English! I really enjoyed the Mickey Strange Experience! You are a true artist and gentleman!
Mick: Thanks so much Alex I had a wonderful time and thanks for having me.
Thank you everyone for all your support!!!
I am that which I am
A changing thing indeed
And while I am that which I am
I am willing to allow all others to be that which they are
I recognize that there are not two of us that are the same
I recognize that we have many differences
I recognize that there are things that are similar
There are things that are even same
And in all of our sameness
And in all of our differences
I find joy
-Mickey Strange
