Chris Hurn Newsletter Interview

Chris Hurn

Interview by Lisa Jones // 5 June 2011

What can we expect to see from you over the next year?

Hopefully another album – and more shows. I recently finished touring around New Zealand which was great…would like to do that again.

How do you come up with your lyrics?

Unfortunately I never get much notice. Something will hit me, and I just have to stop what I’m doing and get it down as quick as I can.

There’s a sweet spot in between being emotionally swayed and being anaylytical about whatever it is I’m writing about.

If I manage to find that spot, then the lryics come out.

Who would you most like to support live?

Brett Dennen and Kristian Matsson

What is the best part of being a musician?

For me its the feeling I get when I’ve just written a song and I’m working on the demo! My favourite part of the whole process is songwriting and arranging.

What is your favourite place in NZ to be?

Lower Hutt…Shhh!

What NZ musicians or bands would you like to see more of, and why?

More from the guys who were in the Electric Confectionaires. Was a great band.

How do you keep in contact with your fans?

I just started a facebook page…so please visit/like it!

About the interviewer Lisa Jones

I’m Lisa, Muzic.NZ’s founder and manager. I also manage the Aotearoa Music Industry Collective as well as the Aotearoa Rock Community and the Gig Space Facebook groups. Born and raised in New Plymouth, and now based in Palmerston North – I’m married to Adam (our IT guy), and together we have 2 amazing children. Rock is my favourite genre of music, but I enjoy a huge variety of genres from old school hip-hop through to metal, punk, pop, folk and EDM. My advice to NZ musicians is to build yourself a great support network, never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and talk to other people involved in the music industry. And don’t give up.. as long as you love what you are doing, don’t stop doing it. If you believe in yourself, you can achieve anything. — MUZIC.NZ (MNZ) WEB: https://www.muzic.nz/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/muzicnetnz IG: https://www.instagram.com/muzicnz/ YT:
