Introduce yourself & a little Bit of a background on your music career.
Jesse Lawson, Former guitar player for Sleeping With Sirens.
As your recently announced your SOLO Project, to start "Chapter 2" of your Music Career. What can we expect from your solo project?
Hopefully, to not see me as this guitar player and yeller for that band.. Maybe to see me as a talented individual..with great songs, and real chemistry.
What made you decide that you wanted to go SOLO?
Well. My wife and I had our first child not to long ago, and I didn't want to be on the road as much. Also, I have always wanted to do my own creative project, what better time than now.
When can we expect to see the first Single of your new solo project?
Fuck singles.. The record will be out May.
I understand you have an indiegogo Campaign to raise funds to support you in the creating of "Chapter 2" of Jesse Lawson, so you can do it without a label & with just the support of your loyal fans. What challenges do you think you will face upon doing this on your own?
I think I can, the great thing is the fans help make this project amazing, when they contribute, they are a huge part of making chapter two, real. Challenges.. Haters. People that love to talk shit to make them selfs feel better. My favorite.. "This is a total scam" my response.. "Well, it's not. Believe it or not, it takes a lot of money to start a project.."
How does it feel to produce, record & write the music all on your own without label help? Is it harder?
Way harder.. (That's what she said) ha, it is hard but completely rewarding. I'm proud.
Do you have the track listing for the 6 song EP, that you could share with us?
Be patient. Its coming.
Do you think you will be on Warped Tour 2014, with your solo project? That would be a GREAT way to promote it.
Warped is a lot of fun, and great friends.. Ya never know!
