Heart-beats Sa Music Industry

Hi, I am Mijaelle and in this Heart-Beats interview series we chat to Adrian ( Smokestack Lightning ) Ziller, who I had the joy of meeting at a medieval fayre of all places lol! He is a musician, operatically trained singer (having done opera for many years), producer, solo artist (was signed to Sony) as well as band member (After Elizabeth). He has a passion for folk, rock and blues as well as having released numerous world albums. Most of all he is charismatic and a great storyteller who has loads of advice and funny tales to share! Topics discussed in Part 1: 1. When Adrian started having fun with music and bought his first instrument 2. His first band (youth to rock band) 3. His journey of learning to sing and appreciating his unique voice 4. Doing a tour like the Janis Joplin Festival Express - perhaps the Trans-karoo 5. Being signed to Sony Music - Highs and Lows of the music industry and lessons learnt 6. Writing a great song and being able to work consistently in the music industry www.facebook.com/
