IAN PRESTON - SYCHELLE YANDA (10/11/2014)

Music plays a very big role in my life and always has, from the lyrics to the beat it always captivates me. Through social media more young people have been able to display their musical talents, and through doing some research I came across a young soul artist named Ian Preston. I was desperate to find out more about Ian as you don't see many young people doing music in the soul genre. Conducting an interview I was able to ask Ian questions based around his music. 

Ian explained that music became a serious part of his life three years ago at age 16. That's when he branched into the soul genre as that's what his voice suits in terms of melody. Soul has been around for many decades, and I was intrigued to know who were his inspirations when starting. Ian responded saying "no one"The future soul artist explains his individuality which really shocked but inspired me at the same time as most musicians have that idol that they look up to, but by the impression I got it seemed that Ian wanted other artists to look up to him. 

 When I asked Ian to summarise his music he concludes by saying he does 'feel good music' and that is exactly what soul is so I definitely agree with him. On previous occasions when performing at open mic nights, the audience have given him feedback saying that he has a very strong and powerful soulful voice. This enabled Ian to carry on as his style was received well. Although having a very short interview, I had learnt a lot about Ian and his style of music and what made him unique from many other young artists out there. It was a pleasure getting to know him.
