Q and A #3

A third one. So be sure to check out the other two.
So, I read on multiple websites, I mean I'm so smart that I figured I should interact with my listeners by, you know, telling them about myself. So, these are questions that people seem to ask musicians a lot, I mean . . . questions that my loyal fans took the time to ask me.

Q: Do you get nervous before a performance or a competition?
A: I get just a little nervous, but I walk out onto the stage confidently and once I start playing, I'm just comfortable. I like to perform, because I like to show people the one thing I'm good at.

Q: How do you handle a mistake during a performance?
A: On the outside, I shake my head, ever so slightly. On the inside, I kick myself and throw a tantrum and shout, "GAHHHHH!"

Q: What advice would you give to beginning pianists?
A: Unless your name is Mozart, it is going to take a long time to actually not sound like a penguin being strangled by an octopus.

Q: How did you come up with your stage name?
A: I like the world "perspective" and noticed that "electric" sounded somewhat similar.

Q: How do you balance your music with other obligations?
A: I don't do much outside of music. I don't have annoying kids to look after, I don't have any love-life whatsoever, school comes pretty easy, so I don't study often, I don't do sports, I haven't joined any clubs and I have very few friends who are also introverts so we don't hang out much . . . But, there is one thing.
I have to balance music with my cat. We're best friends, but she's not allowed in the studio, she wants to sit on my lap when I play the guitar, and . . . it's hard.

Q: What was your first and second instrument?
A: My first instrument was the piano. When I was young, I had a really small toy keyboard, attached to a book. There were no names for the keys, just colors. So, it was a play by color piano book. Anyway, I played around with that for a while and eventually asked my parents if I could actually learn how to play an actual piano. A few years later . . . here I am.
My second instrument was technically the recorder, but that's boring, so, guitar. My dad had an electric guitar and I picked one up one day and asked for an acoustic one. I paid for half of it and my parents made up the rest. I can play chords, but because when I first started learning I wanted to make my own songs, I can only play chords.

Q: What instruments do you want to learn to play in the future?
A: The harp. The banjo. The lute. The charango. The gusle. The lyre. And many, many more.

I should probably go to sleep, now. That might be a good idea.
I'll edit the post in the morning, possibly. So if something doesn't look right, just ignoreit.
