Your name:
Carine Fierobe (singer).
Where are you from?
Paris originally, living in London,
UK.
Name of band:
The Salvador Darlings.
Who else is in your band?
Bryan Borcherds.
How would you describe yourselves and your music?
We are
passionate about music so our music is the expression of our passion, like our
image, simple but true. Bryan is the composer of The Salvador Darlings and he's obsessed by
musical equipment and all the technical parts. Personally I'm so bad at it! It's better
if I don't touch this part, but I do play guitar and write songs. My role in The Salvador Darlings
is to create vocal melodies and build lyrics when I'm inspired.
Who are your main influences musically?
Anything that
moves us, it could be old school hip hop or jazz or classical, if it has the right feeling
then that’s what we like. When writing our own music it usually starts with a drum beat or synth
line, or a vocal melody, and if we find ourselves nodding our heads to the beat then we keep
on going with the song. So to answer your question it’s not a style or band that
influences us, it’s the groove and feeling.
We are also very influenced by the city we live in,
London. There’s so much magic and mystery, the history, people, and weather influences us.
The recording isn’t just done in a studio, it’s recorded out and about in London. For each
song we do outdoor recording to capture the magic of London, for example with our single
Show World we did additional vocal recording in Trafalgar Square on the coldest night
of the year. In the background you can hear the fountains, buses rumbling by, and a security
guard shouting at us asking us to leave. It’s quite original to do this kind of exciting
things!
What do you hope to achieve in music?
I just hope to
continue to enjoying music with my buddy and playing a lot of gigs everywhere in London
first and if it's possible going on the road to spread our music to everyone who wants to listen.
Of course I hope that people will enjoy our songs and us as people. Like I said earlier, we
are simple and we will stay like that, we want to be the close to our fans and share our story
and music with them. Our music is just a reflection of who we are so hopefully people can
relate to this.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
Every time we get to the studio. It’s so much fun, to either come in with a song
idea or create a new song idea.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
Honestly for
the moment I have nothing to forget with The Salvador Darlings but I remember when I
was a little child, I had participate in a little song contest in my home town in France. It
was the first time I was singing in front of a lot of people on a stage, I was so stressed and my
mouth was very, very dry. During the song I couldn't control my mouth and I coughed to clear
my voice. It was terrible because I just wanted to be perfect and I wasn't.
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
Show World because it's
our first song and "the meet up song" with Bryan, a very good one to introduce The
Salvador Darlings. It denounces the importance of the image today and this reality based in
fiction representations and relationships.
