Your name:
Kami Hall.
Where are you from?
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
Name of band:
The Magickal.
Who else is in your band?
Dorian
Wilde and David Drockton.
How would you describe yourselves and your music?
We're
total nerds. Each in our own unique way. We have done every part of this
project ourselves, with basically no budget. Dorian does the orchestration,
sequencing, back-up vocals, and also happens to be a gifted graphic designer. He
did all of our visuals with a little conceptual help from Kami. David does
production, engineering, mixing, is a classical musician,and business manager.
Kami is the voice. Writing lyrics and vocals and also taking care of the social
media connections. We all help with writing the songs.
We sound like lush, decadent, synths with big bluesy
female vocals on top.
Who are your main influences musically?
From Depeche
Mode, Erasure, Eurythmics, Yazoo, The Cure, Sigur Ros, Concrete Blonde, Nine
Inch Nails, Bjork, to Prince, Donna Summer, and the Beatles (of course).
What do you hope to achieve in music?
We want to
bring melody back! We want to rock the boat a bit. We want to show people
that music can be both melodic, and smart. It can be both catchy and profound.
It can have big vocals and big synths without following typical pop format.
Mostly we just want to write really, really good songs.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
Being chosen to be a featured LGBT artist on RightOutTV. It was
early for that to happen. We were very grateful.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
The first
mix of The Only Sin! We pray it finally got taken down off of
iTunes!
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
That's like asking which one of our
children we like best! We have an album's worth of songs in various states of
development.... so it's just a bit early to say.
Where can we listen to it?
Where can we find out more about your music?
Anything else you’d like to say about your music that I
forgot to ask?
Because day jobs are necessary at the moment, life gets in
the way sometimes. However; we are almost finished with our third single The
Ticket. We also plan on having The Ticket EP finished and released by the end
of the year.
