Isaac: We'd love to know more about your inspirations growing up. I hear so many influences in your music. How old were you when you first discovered music? Is there any kind of musical history in your family?
AF: Growing between Venezuela (where I was born) and the Caribbean, I heard a lot of merengue (Juan Luis Guerra), reggae (Bob Marley), and Caribbean dance music (like calypso). At home, my parents would play lots of classical music from Verdi to Mozart. Later on, I searched for new wave and electronic music (from Jean Michelle Jarre and Josh Wink to Asian Dub Foundation and Leftfield) and also got really into rock and alternative rock (everything from Def Leppard, Metallica, Led Zepellin and Soungarden to Beck). The thing is I never really stayed in a specific genre for too long because I loved discovering new gems. I've always been on a kind of never-ending musical discovery quest! I started playing drums and piano when I was about six years old. There isn't a musical history in my family except for their love of music.
Isaac: What drew you to pick up an instrument in the first place?
AF: The instruments seemed to call me.
Isaac: As you hit your teenage years, did you know that this was what you would be doing for the rest of your life?
AF: I would spend hours playing the piano and the drums; in high school I requested special projects to get out of sports and do music instead I knew early on that music would always be my life.
Isaac: Is there a performer in any genre of pop culture that you would like to work with?
AF: That's a hard one because there are too many, but my long life dream has been to work with Beck.
Isaac: Who are some musicians that you really like, present or past?
AF: Another hard question because it's so far reaching. I really admire Bjork's work. Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, The Gladiators and Lee Scratch Perry's work have been huge influences. Charlie Mingus and Phish. I love Shpongle. Lately, I got quite into the vibe that MGMT trips on. As I mentioned, it's hard to reduce that even to twenty artists.
Isaac: What is your ultimate goal with your music career?
AF: I would like to feel that the music and vibe I create has had an uplifting impact on people's life.
Isaac: What has been some of the obstacles it has taken to get this far in your career?
AF: Self doubt and too much well funded bad music filling the air and mind space. As well as, having to deal with some people with fake intentions along the way.
Isaac: Would you recommend this "field" to others who are aspiring to be musicians like you?
AF: If they feel they can't breathe without doing music, yes!
Isaac: Describe one piece of advice you've have been given to by others in the music industry.
AF: The filtering process is really tough so unless you're fully devoted and seriously skilled at what you do don't even bother!
Isaac: What genre of music do you consider most of your music?
AF: Pop and electronic.
Isaac: What has been your favorite piece of work?
AF: Up & Down, because it reflects so closely the way that I often feel and it encompasses my central message, that no matter how you feel, if you center your life around love, everything makes sense.
Isaac: How can fans-to-be gain access to your music? Do you have a website with sample songs or a demo CD?
AF: I have my website with a lot of music on it that can be streamed for free (flyinfisch.com). I'm on Facebook, MySpace (myspace.com/flyinfisch) and ReverbNation. And my first self-titled EP is on iTunes, Amazon and Rhapsody.
Isaac: Is there anyone you'd like to acknowledge for offering financial or emotional support?
AF: My amazing beautiful wife! My loving family! And the wonderful supportive fans!
Isaac: Any last words?
AF: Thank you so much for the interview, I hope your readers enjoy it, discover new music and come to the shows. One Love & Higher Consciousness.
