Composers

Walid Feghali interview

Well, I don’t claim to have the true wisdoms of life, but seriously… Do what you want to do. Don’t let anything or anyone tell you otherwise. If music is what you really want to work, then keep writing it and never stop. Same goes for everything else, really. I study engineering, write music for pay and do concept art. I do all of these, yet I don’t really give a crap of what will be of me in 5 years – I live now, and so do you.

Emmett Cooke Interview

Keep going, and don't stop. There are SO many talented people out there and I see so many of them give up over time. No matter what it is, composing, running, flying - keep doing it and you will eventually succeed. That is literally the only one thing that you need in order to succeed - just perseverance.

Agus Gonzalez Lancharro interview

Don´t ever give up and take it seriously if you really want to be successful on this. Networking is a really important but do not act like a jerk. I already know cases of people that are trying to start in the business but their names are already in the “black list” of fellow composers and professionals of the industry.

Red Ochsenbein interview

Find something you really love doing. If you found it, stick to it no matter how crazy it might seem. Just do whatever makes you happy… Every second lost is lost forever, you never get it back.

Jonas Frederik interview

Creating opportunities for yourself like contacting up-and-coming film directors can do wonders for your career if they like what you do, so keep at it, and keep creating music, demos and stuff people can listen to.

Stephan Römer interview

Work hard, never rest on your oars, listen, constantly work on your skills, never give up because sometimes opportunities arise by coincidence and always be your toughest critic.

Elspeth Eastman interview

Don’t use the words “epic” or “emotional” in your music titles – not everyone will think your music is epic or emotional, so give your songs a unique title people will remember.
