James Hood: Redefining Music Through Immersive Sound and Storytelling
Q: What do you hope audiences take away from your immersive shows?
I want viewers to feel serene, inspired, and to recognize that they are an active participant in shaping the meaning of the performance; it's about planting seeds that they bring to life through their perception.
James Hood: Redefining Music Through Immersive Sound and Storytelling
Q: You've been with the Pretenders and played with so many artists. How did those experiences shape your evolution toward immersive projects?
Those early experiences taught me about dynamics, temperature, and how to bend genres, which later informed how I approach blending rock, electronic, and orchestral textures into immersive experiences.
Jonathan Antoine On Stardom And Staying Grounded
Q: What advice would you give up-and-coming singers who don't fit the traditional mold?
Explore broadly and engage with communities; post what you're proud of, try talent shows if it fits, and be willing to adapt while staying true to your core passion.
Jonathan Antoine On Stardom And Staying Grounded
Q: When did you feel the first real breakthrough, and how did that shape your career going forward?
The breakthrough felt like a series of moments rather than a single event, starting with the initial stage ovation and the subsequent opportunities to perform across countries, which taught me the value of staying connected to audiences and remaining true to my musical voice.
