Featured artist: Reji Lefluer - Seattle New Rock Star Making waves
Below is a short interview with the upcoming underground artist Reji Lefluer.
How did you decide to become an artist?
Reji Lefluer: I started playing the piano in church at the age of four and wrote my first song by 14. By this time I became skilled with guitar and thanks to the encouragement of family and friends to pursue a career in music I began my first band by Junior year in high school.
The best advice given to me was from a local musician in Seattle growing up who told me to always stay true to the arts
What about concerts? Do you play live?
I love performing live. I treat small shows as concerts and love to add improvisation to my show
Best punchline you ever wrote?
Reji Lefluer, Keeping the arts alive and dreamy
What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?
I am currently promoting my latest CD Gypsy Creole and working on new material for my solo career and collaborations with other local artist
Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would highly consider signing a record contract to enhance my presence through out the world. I feel as long as an artist takes care to protect themselves and their art from being manipulated or stolen the sky is the limit in what they can achieve from a record contract. Though offered once upon a time, thus far I do not have a record contract and am not ashamed to promote my own work through social media and word of mouth
Any last words?
I’d like to give a shout out to first and foremost God, My mom (Smokey) and amazing manager Karen Zammit who keep me sane and motivated. A shout out to Bubba Jones and Critical Sun family, Phil Cordier, Felicia Loud, Silver Shadow D and all my music family in Seattle and Austin.
