Getting To Know …MICHELLE GREEN!!!



Recording or Performing Live?
In the studio, I chill out with some amazing people and we have a great time. But performing live is way better! I really feed of off the energy of the audience and when it's live you could slip up and forget lyrics or even fall over, I just love that feeling of danger.

Morning or Evening?
Evening, I feel much more relaxed then and I have just always loved later on in the day, you know because of the dark and calmness.

What is your worst habit?
My worst habit is saying "Are You Ok?". I just find myself saying that when it is silent and to pick up a conversation again. I swear down that once I was sitting next to my friend on a bus for an hour and I must have said "Are You Ok?" like 7 times, just to get a small conversation going

What is your favourite song of the moment?
At the moment it would have to be "Raw" by Cherise. The song is beautiful and Cherise gives her best performance yet on that single.

What is your favourite song of all time?
Probably Alicia Lena's "The Butterfly Effect". It is amazing!

What is your favourite musician/band?
I LOVE Britanny Knox, she is my favourite artist ever. But I also really adore Katie Coyle, Ryan Ross Hernandez and Mind. I'm an indie chick but I love my pop and R&B too, like G2L, Alicia Lena and Victoria Black.

What is your favourite movie?
I love horrors but I love comedies so I have many favourites in each genre. But my overall favourite film would have to be Scream 4. Followed VERY closely by Coraline, Shrek 2 and Shaun Of The Dead.

What would be your perfect day?
Wake up, have some lovely pancakes. Have an exhilarating shower, then take a stroll. Have lunch with my family and friends and go somewhere nice like the cinema. Have a lovely big dinner and at night, curl up under the duvet whilst watching a dvd.

What is your best memory of your childhood?
When me, my parents, my aunt Daphne and my cousin Carla went to Disney World. It was the best time of my life! Not only for the rides and the sites but because we all really bonded and spent so much time close together

Tell us something nobody else knows about you?
I can sing Isabel's "Lose It (Summers Not Hot)" backwards without stopping.

If you could date anyone in the music industry, who would it be?
Oh there's a tough one. Eh, probably someone who is confident and knows what he wants out of life but at the same time has a great sense of humour and not to up himself. Someone like Den from the Teen Titans.

What would be your 3 wishes?
World Peace, No Poverty and a new dress.

Would you rather have worldwide success or true love?
True love. All the success in the world doesn't make you happy. Look at the wonderful Katie Coyle, she is one of the most successful artists out and she hasn't always been on top of the world.

What do you think happens when we die?
I believe that we go somewhere. I'm a huge believer in spirits and the afterlife but I'm not saying God or heaven exists. I just think that there is, well, 'something'.

What are your 5 life goals?[/code]
To find Mr Right, Buy my first car, To be involved in a musical charity type thing, I would love to sing on stage with my idol Brittany Knox and my last goal would be.......em.....oh I know!, To finally clean my overflowing basement.

(Orange Titan, aka Den)

The new and upcoming solo album of Orange Titan, aka Den Walnut, is going to be full of collaborations with some of the most successful acts of the music industry. Some of them already confirmed are Cinzia Ricci, Saffia of Brown Sugar, Isabel and Gabe.

It's also rumored that the singer wants to get even more artists on the record and seems to be interested in having Ugenia and MattY, as much as some of his bandmates, especially Martina, who told us "Den is an hardworking. He's able to write and produce his own music and he's pretty fast at it, so he may release the album very soon. He has already done half of the album I think, but it's nothing surprising for me. I know what he's like". She also told us about an her duet with him "He asked me to be on a song of the album too, he said I would have been perfect so now we're recording this song together soon".

Getting To Know …TEEN TITANS!!!



Recording or Performing Live?
Laurence: Well, maybe both. Recording is fun when you're in a band, but the same thing can be said about performing.

If you could date anyone in the music industry, who would it be?
Laurence: Of course my wife.
Tanya: Myself. [Laughs]

Laurence: Having other children with my wife, always being a singer and having still lots of money!

Would you rather have worldwide success or true love?
Laurence: True love, it matters much more I guess.
Tanya: True love.

Den: A worldwide success, thank you very much! I think I'm never going to find true love.

What do you think happens when we die?

Martina: I would like to release a solo album, be a respected artist like I said before, then I'd like to write some book, I'd also love to find my soulmate if he exists and finally be happily married.
Den: I have already become a singer, so I have just four goals left and they are that I'd like to always have good friends, still be successful, I wanna always live life in full and then if I could, I'd like to really find true love.

Ryan Ross Hernandez: "I'm doing this because it's my calling."


Singer-songwriter, guitarist, recording artist Ryan Ross Hernandez invited us into his home to talk about his upcoming tour with PANIC! and why it's going to be so unique. Also, hear what advice he would give to his younger self if he could go back in time...

Why the veteran musician is still making music:

I think I got to a point where I'm really playing music to serve playing music. When you're younger, it's a weapon. And then if you're lucky, and if you're on time with everything, it becomes a gift. I wouldn't have believed my younger self this, that once you realize it's a gift, then it really all goes to another level. I would have been like, 'No, no, no, no, no, no. I play music in a highly weaponized, fully charged way, that's meant to change minds, meant to change minds.'

This tour with PANIC! should really be something because you haven't played with this band really, except to make the record:

I will be doing that both with instrumentation, with band members, with songs. Then I think also with this sort-of greater, philosophical approach to why I'm making music. If you're being authentic with yourself, and you make music, then what you hear back is you. I'm doing this because it's my calling. Not because I'm here to show anybody anything. And once you free yourself of that, a lot more notes come to mind, or a lot fewer notes come to mind.

How he has learned to take a seat back in the music world and shut his mouth:

I got to view sort-of in passing, what was coming out, without saying 'That's going to be this, and that's going to be that.' Because I don't know. I finally learned how to throw my hands up and say, 'I don't know! Maybe this is great. Maybe this is not.'

His philosophy whilst making Running Changes:

I set out to, not to write good songs, but to write bad songs. And I think that other people are going to like it, but I'm no longer saying, 'Wait until they get a load of this.'
