I finished an interview with Rawburry.com last night. I thought I would post up the Q&A’s for the fans to read.

Rawburry: What up!?

David Sides: Hey, what’s going on?

Rawburry: Any plans for the rest of Summer ‘10?

David Sides: I’m actually going to take a trip to Minnesota the end of August to attend a friend’s wedding, and maybe a trip to Africa. Besides that, I’ll just be working as usual.

Rawburry: When did you first start playing the Piano?

David Sides: I first started playing when I was about the age of 10.

Rawburry: Are there any Pianists you look up to?

David Sides: Actually, I don’t really listen to, or follow pianists heavily. I might hear a song or two that have a piano melody in it that I like, but I don’t really look up to or aspire to be like any pianists in particular.

Rawburry: I haven’t seen anyone incorporate Rap and R&B songs into the Piano like you have — do you model your style after anyone?

David Sides: I don’t think so. When I get on the piano I really just be myself, do my own thing. So far I think it’s worked because I have yet to have someone tell me “hey you sound like…” which is good, in my opinion. You never want to sound like someone or something else. You want to stand out on your own.

Rawburry: Where did you grow up?

David Sides: In a small town on the West Coast called Oxnard, California.

Rawburry: Any David Sides albums coming out soon?

David Sides: Yes, I actually have two albums out right now, both of which are on iTunes and my official website (www.TheMusicOfDavidSides.com) and I’m working on getting another one done by the end of the year.

Rawburry: If there was anyone you could do a collaboration with, who would that person be?

David Sides: You know what? I’m asked this a lot and I’ve never really felt strongly about an answer until now. If I could do a collaboration with anyone, it would be film composer Hans Zimmer. He composed the music for movies such as Dark Knight, Inception, Prince of Egypt, Gladiator… the list goes on. He’s a really great composer and I would love to hear some of my piano music being played over some of his orchestral arrangements. That would be epic.

Rawburry: Is there anything  you want to say to all the entrepreneurs out there?

David Sides: Just be patient. Not everyone has the drive and the courage to go out and do their own thing, make their own mark, and anyone who does earns a great deal of my respect. Unfortunately a lot of entrepreneurs, primarily young ones, lose patience and in turn lose sight of their goals which then results in them giving up. Patience is a very important, in life, and especially in being an entrepreneur.

Rawburry: Keep doing your thing David, big things are in your future man!

David Sides: Thanks man, and once again, I appreciate the opportunity. Be sure to stay on my twitter (twitter.com/davidsides) and my official website (www.TheMusicOfDavidSides.com) for updates. Take care.
