Deena Q&A

Picture by Paige Vaughan

Your name: 
Deena Lynch.

Where are you from? 
Brisbane, Australia.

Name of band: 
Deena.

Who else is in your band?
Joe Fallon, Jasper Gundersen and Jack Walton.

How would you describe yourselves and your music? 
Indie blues/rock.

Who are your main influences musically? 
Jeff Buckley, City & Colour, Nick Cave.

What do you hope to achieve in music? 
My own version of success where the music can feed itself and take care of me too, not lavishly just comfortably.

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why? 
Being able to travel with my music. I just wrapped up an Australian tour with my band which would go right up in my highlights list. Touring in countries like Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan have been full of memorable experiences.

And what’s the moment you want to forget? 
That time the chair I was sitting on while performing slowly slipped into the cracks of the stage and then I swore loudly into the microphone to a room full of families. I swore twice - once for the fall and the second time because I swore about the fall. 

If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why? 
I guess my newly released single Turpentine would best represent my music. It is the most current song and reflects where my band and I are at in terms of how we express, our style and what we want to convey.

Nik Moodie Q&A

Your name: 
Nik Moodie.

Where are you from?
I am from Brisbane, Australia.

How would you describe yourself?
I would describe myself as tenacious, outgoing, fun loving with a wicked sense of humor - I have to have that as I have Tourettes Syndrome ;) and if you can't laugh at yourself what are you gonna do right?

Who are your main influences musically? 
My main influences in music would have to be The Funk Brothers , Gladys Knight and I have to say I'm a big Amy Winehouse fan...but there are too many to mention I like pretty much all music but I grew up on the old stuff so I guess it plays a part in how I write.

What do you hope to achieve in music? 
I just want to write good music and if I can make even one person happy well it’s a bonus for me! I love it...it's what I do!

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why? 
The highlight of my career so far was getting to work along side some big names like 'The Drifters'...for me it was cool growing up and listening to their stuff like 'Saturday Night at the Movies' and then getting on stage with them was awesome.

And what’s the moment you want to forget? 
A moment what would like to forget? I can't say. I haven't had any moments yet haha I guess you take the good with the bad and learn...I would keep them all.

If you could choose one of your songs as an advert for your music, what would it be and why? 
At this point in time the song I would pick of mine would be 'Little Mystery'. I wrote it for my 10mth old niece who passed away...it means a lot to me.
