You have been playing on the border for a long time now. Where did you get your start on stage?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I did a lot of performing in high school with the choir and school bands, but my first live gig out of school was as a singer in a cover band when I was 16 out at the Yack folk festival, I was ridiculously nervous, especially since I had to play bass for a song when I\u2019d never played it before. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n You weren\u2019t always behind a set of strings, what other instruments do you play?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I play drums, I dabble in bass, I was learning piano back when I was really young and I\u2019m a singer. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n What are your musical influences? i.e. what sort of music do you like to listen to?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I listen to most kinds of music depending on the mood. I was brought up on pub rock, soul and RnB, but I found metal and hardcore and I find it resonates the most with me. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n What would we expect out of a Caldy show?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can expect dad jokes, polite mumbling, and then some belted out tunes that\u2019ll make you laugh and cry. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you written any original music yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve written a couple of originals in my time, but none of them are included in my acoustic set. I am working on some though, they\u2019re just very slow works in progress. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n You have been streaming on Twitch lately, how is it being received by your audience?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve only got a couple of viewers at this stage, but it\u2019s been really chilled out so far. I\u2019m hoping to grab some more when I start incorporating my music into my streams. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you find you have a better chance of receiving an audience by streaming rather than playing at a venue?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Honestly hard to say at this stage. I feel like my style of music will have a chance to go \u201cviral\u201d because it\u2019s mixed in with gameplay. That being said, the few gigs I\u2019ve had with my own name on a poster, the turn outs haven\u2019t been the greatest, so I can only really improve from here. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n What sort of audience numbers are you receiving by pushing your craft on Twitch?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The reports I get after streams say my numbers are pretty small at the moment, but I\u2019m holding viewers at the moment for an average of over an hour at a time, so I\u2019m thinking that will improve exponentially if there\u2019s tunes scattered through the stream as well. Should be interesting to see!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We have seen a lot of success with Streamers in the past. Local artist Chris Miller saw mass track streams, Radium status, repeating weeks on the top of the Atomic Countdown and his track “Not Crazy” taking out number 1 on the Atomic Hundred of 2019. Maybe this is the new way to get your music out to a global audience!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you seeing a growing trend in musicians taking to streaming?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s currently a huge platform there for it, and I\u2019ve sort of popped in while it\u2019s already real well established, so I can\u2019t comment too much on the trend, but I think there should be more people taking the plunge. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you think Stream gaming is going to be the next big thing for music noting failing trends for turnouts at live events?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t think it\u2019ll be the next big thing so much as an alternative big thing. We already see big gigs streaming online at the moment, and that just makes things convenient for people that can\u2019t travel. I don\u2019t think the live experience can be beat though. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n What is your most memorable moment as a muso? Best show, best song you learnt, best moment\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s still got to be the first time I saw a crowd moving to original music I\u2019d written alongside my mates in Mercury Owl, looking up from the drums and seeing kids moshing to us was a real rush and still fuels my drive to entertain people 8 years later.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to check out Caldy’s Stream, head to;<\/p>\n\n\n\n Twitch: https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/caldy32<\/a> With the world of music changing each and every day, more and more artists are turning to different mediums to get their music out to the masses. This includes a step up in busking, youtube video’s, blogs about their personal lives (or little puppies!?) and much more.
