Keep in mind as you read these questions that will absolutely 100% come up, that answering the question isn’t as important as having something entertaining to say after the question gets asked.
You are in the entertainment business, not the information business. If they wanted the information, they’d contact your manager or PR rep. They have YOU on their show, interview, podcast, channel because you have that extra thing inside of you that makes the information entertaining.
So don’t think about answering the questions.
Think about using them as cues for entertainment.
What’s a funny story from the road?
A funny story from the studio?
A crazy wild moment on the road?
Your favorite song?
Your favorite song to play live?
Your favorite show you’ve played?
Your favorite lots of things…
A prank story?
How did you meet?
What was it like working with that producer?
What was it like opening for that band?
Where did the idea for that song come from?
What’s your writing process?
YOU DON’T HAVE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. My guess is you read through these questions and simply tried to have a better “correct” answer.
You get to talk about literally whatever you want after the interviewer is done asking.
Also, for goodness sakes speak directly into the microphone clearly, articulately, don’t let your voice’s volume drop at ends of sentences, slow your speaking speed
*If you’d like me to help you with this type stuff (interviews, media, etc), lets dig in. You have a voice and are entertaining, we just need to expose that in a setting other than the stage.
