Q&A with Aussie Rock Artist - The One , The only- Miss Tiffany Gow.

Who are the artist who’s styles you like (world wide)?

The Artist whom has had the most impact has absolutely been Bon Jovi , they are my favourite band of all time.I love how they combine the melt your heart ballads to fun rock to heavy rock (As on the “Have a nice day” album).Kiss, Matchbox Twenty, Foreigner/Lou Gramm, Nickelback, Firehouse are just a few of so many exceptionally Internationally talented Artsists I love and admire.Darren Hayes from Aussie supergroup “Savage Garden” has had a huge impact upon me both musically and personally.I had the pleasure of seeing him at the Sydney Opera House a few years back and his performance was simply breathtaking.He sang like an Angel and has such a jovial attitude and exudes energy to match.He fought for his success and never gave up until someone gave him a chance to be heard.He is a true inspiration to me and I like to pride myself on the strength and character of Darren.

Do you draw from reference or from your ‘imagination’?

Most Often my lyrics and thus the music to match are based on real life experiences.Very rarely is song matter taken from my imagination.I have lived the story of all of my material, which is half a blessing and sadly half curse.But I believe that everything happens for a reason and the way I see it is that I have written some amazing songs, even though unfortunately there has not always been a happy ending.

When you get an idea for music, what do you do most of the time? Do you sit down and write the whole thing or do you record a little bit at a time and then put it all together?

A Melody will often pop into my head and then naturally words that slide into the sound enter my head simultaneously.I often get so inspired and finish the lyrics the same day, then sit down and plan what instruments would sound great in it and organise the song structure.I love the challenge of making each song it’s own and having some diversity, as to avoid predictability and a “standard” rock sound.”Liar Liar” is a great example of how I am evolving and how I make sure that each song doesn’t sound too much like the previous track I recorded.I am always organised before hitting the studio and once in, Phil and I discuss everything in fine detail and that’s where the fun really begins !!!

What is the most memorable moment of your career?

There’s loads !To name a few: Recording my debut album “No Fear” was truly one of the best experiences of my life- I learn’t so much, had so much fun and definately made a friend for life in my producer- Mr Phil Tweed.Having the honour of my song ” One Night” being included in the semi finals of the International Music awards was an incredible buzz but the most honourable and exciting to Date (As there will be for absolute sure many, many great moments- recording my SAB album Overseas and meeting all my beautiful friends (Believers) )I would have to say peforming and meeting my lovely friends (Believers) Mr Martin Nicholas and Mr Shane Seymour at the infamous Sydney Rock venue “The Annandale Hotel” along side my best friend Brian Taylor of Vegas Dragons, My Genius producer Phil Tweed and the rulers of funky rock- Luna Assassins.It was one of the best nights of my life and to see the happiness of their faces was truly memorable and priceless.Never before has anyone flown out from overseas to see me play live !!! I was so honoured and I am truly glad that Martin enjoyed the performance.Thank you so much my lovely friends. : )
When you are creating your fabulous music, which comes first - the lyrics, the melody or the instrumentals?

The Lyrics, the melody (Usually piano) , then all the instruments are worked appropriately in.Lay the initial structure, then fill in the rest of the piece to create a full sound..
Besides other musicians is there anyone else that you looked up to during your childhood?
My Mum, she has heart of gold.Would give anyone her last dollar and her last piece of food.Honest, caring and genuine, really sweet.A really decent human being.
Whats your favourite musical Instrument? Definately the guitar, especially accoustic, followed really closely by the piano.Both played well, can create some heart wrenching stuff.

What CD or tape do you have in your player right now?

Karnivool (Hard Rock )- Thanks to a friend of mine ! I’ll return it - I promise !!!! hehe A First class Australian Act- can’t get enough of this brilliant band.Also listening to it as a few of my SAB album songs will be slighty heavier and diverse.A huge influence musically.
How would you describe your experience so far of Sellaband ?

Mostly Fantastic, has seriously been one of the best things I have discovered, I have been given a huge opportunity and I am running with it with open arms and hard, hard work.Can be upsetting when parts are removed, however I do respect that it is the believers hard earned money and they have the right to do with it as they wish.I wonder at times why some great artists who have been with SAB almost since day one have not reached 50K.Speaking for myself only, I am working hard to continually write new music, I verbally as well physically send my music out to interested and/or influential parties and working long hours to save to record original music- It is a challenge indeed as I pay for everything myself but I always prevail because I truly want it that much.I will keep persevering, absolutely no matter what or how long it takes.I live , breth and sleep music- there is nothing else I would rather be doing.It’s my passion and makes me feel so alive.
Where in the world would you most like to visit ?

Europe in general.Always wanted to go to Italy and Greece.Love the food, wine, the culture, the joyful approach to life and the love for family.

What can we expect your forthcoming Album ?

I am seriously working hard and aiming to achieve 50K by the end of May (Hope fully earlier) 2008.I am anticipating a late August/September Sellaband album release , if all continues to go smoothly.All of my songs are ready and I am ready.I can’t wait to meet you all and perform live for you !!! I will continue to send out my music , work extremely hard and make new contacts and music, cross my fingers and hope for the very best soon.Thank you to all my wonderful friends for their continued faith and loyalty.It truly means so much. : )
