Interview with Matt Valdez and Noor Adawiya from TECHNO BEETZ

Here are the questions I asked both Matt and Noor:
1. what inspired you to play music?
2. how has music changed your life?
3. what bands do you listen to and how have they shaped your music?
4. what advice do you have for others that want to pursue in music as their career?
5. where did you get the idea for the name of your band?
6. what do you want your fans to know about you that they might not know already?
7. when you have your first show on stage, what would be racing through your mind?
8. Just so your soon to be fans know a little about you, What personal stories have you been through that lead you to go to music for comfort?
Their responces:

1. Our inspiration comes from the fun, dance and party culture we have come to assimilate ourselves into. We are inspired by the DJ’s and atmosphere of the underground club life. We are looking to inspire other to enjoy life like we do; you don’t need a dance floor or a club to have a good time. We are inspired by the feelings you get when you are dancing your heart out to loud bumping music in a hawt sweaty club. We want our fans to lose themselves in the music and find the confidence to live life to the fullest.
2. Music is a huge factor in mine and Noor’s life. Without music life would be joyless and we are all about joy! Music makes everything easier and helps us through the rough times. In my opinion, music is the oil that keeps life running smoothly. Music can change a boring drive to school into a dance party, we just have so much fun dancing and singing to music.
3.We mostly listen to techno, Hip-Hop, R&B, and pop music so some of our inspirations are performers like Lady GaGa, DJ Afrojack, Deadmau5, Skrillex, Amy Winehouse, and Nicki Minaj. They have all shaped our view of music in that they have provided very smart, enjoyable music that is not only a specific genre, but generally enjoyed music by the public making it somewhat pop. Over all we just love music we can dance to and these artists tend to cater to our needs.
4. The advice that we would like to give is to just go out and do it! Anyone can be famous, you just have to go out and do what you love. Find what you do best whether its singing, dancing or playing an instrument just go out and do it until you make it! We are still working towards our dreams, but we will not stop until we reach our goal of fame! We will do anything to get our fame, no one can stop us and no one can stop you!!!!!!

5. The name came from an old band that I used to be a part of in high school. We thought it was funny to base our band around the vegetable beets. We knew that it was going to be techno music so the two of us came together, Techno BEETZ. It was a match made in heaven.

6.There are a few things we would like our fans to know. First off, we are not a traditional band in that we are not only musicians, but performance artists. Our performance is just as important as our songs. Secondly, we love our fans and want to stay in touch with them! So thanks to today’s technology it is now possible for us to reach out to our fans and for them to reach out to us through the internet on twitter! So follow me at @themattvaldez and follow my blog at http://gossipmatt.blogspot.com/ for news on not only me, but Techno BEETZ! Lastly, we want our fans to know that all the hard work has been totally worth it just to get you all to dance and have a good time. We love all our fans so much!!!! <3

7.The only thing that will be running through our minds is “I wonder what magazines and TV shows we’ll be on tomorrow?”
8. When times have been rough for us music was always there to comfort us. Personally, for me there have been times when everything seems to be falling apart. I’ve felt isolated and alone..I thought there was nothing to look forward to in the world, but then when I got in my car and turned on the music plus sang my heart out, I felt free. We want our fans to know that music, especially our music can be their escape just like others’ music has been an escape to us.
We just want to thank all of our fans for everything!
