What are your creative plans for 2024?

I’ve got a load in the works – I’m currently producing and recording a few projects for my label, working with some artists producing their music, and I’m writing more tracks, over the summer I’m hoping to get a bunch of these all recorded! Not only that, but plenty of gigs, with all of the acts on the label – it’s gonna be boss.

How would you say that your music has changed/progressed since you first started out?

 

I’m much more comfortable with my style now, the way my music has progressed throughout the years is easily found in my guitar playing, my vocal delivery and the lyrical capacity of my songs. I’m really influenced by so many different genres and I try to incorporate all of them into my music – it’s very much Northern folk-grunge.

If you could pick one track that sums up your style, which one would it be and why? Furthermore, how does a song normally come together for you?

I’d have to say “future sight”, it’s a deadpan delivery track with a nice guitar melody forming the basis and image-invoking lyricism. One of my favourites!

I usually just come up with a guitar melody, a chord progression or picking pattern, and then try and formulate a vocal flow over the top of it; then the words can come quickly once I’ve got a decent run of it – especially when I find a certain topic! Then I just have fun in the studio, figuring out what the song needs, what could work well with it – it’s all great fun.

What inspirations have you been drawing from recently?

A lot of hip hop! The vocal delivery, flows and cadence can be really effective in putting out lyrics that are effective, and it’s something that can be utilised superbly to really make sure your music is different to the rest. Acts like Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller, Jean Deaux. My music taste is eclectic to say the least!

Why should someone reading this listen to Michael Webster? What makes you stand out?

I really try and express myself, my opinions and views and that within my music. I try to keep it as real as I can, and ensure that I’ve got a good vibe going on – both in the studio and live!

 

Thanks for having me!
