A 3 part interview here on Newgrounds.com (my longest and most detailed interview to date!)

Posted by Jabun - October 7th, 2020


A 3 part interview on Newgrounds.com (my longest and most detailed interview to date!)


Hi everyone and hope you're having a great week so far!


I've got something super special to share with you today and something I hope you enjoy! Last month I took part in my biggest and most detailed interview to date, a 3 part discussion with The Interviewer here on Newgrounds.com all about my musical journey so far! It goes right back to my musical roots, through many of my notable projects including collaborations, bands from my teen years and beyond, through to my solo projects Better Than The Book and Jabun, discussing great memories, not so great ones, and my advice for musicians and creators from my own experience. It's a long journey, but I hope you get something out of it and enjoy the read!


A huge thanks to The Interviewer ( @The-Great-One ) for inviting me to take part in this, and I'd like to share some of his kind words before you read:


"Today's guest is quite possibly one of if not the hardest working musician here on Newgrounds. With his project Better Than The Book being a success here on Newgrounds and acclaim for his assistance towards other musicians here on the site. His skills are incredible as a composer, lyricist, singer, and guitarist. His story is long, but an amazing one and I wish for you to read it all the way to the end. I am most pleased to welcome, @Jabun."


"Jabun is a rare talent that you don't see in too many musicians nowadays. He is a musician of many hats which is what a lot of musicians used to be like. His songs are not factory produced by writers who are looking for that zany lyric or melody that will stick in people's minds. He makes music that not only he likes, but he thinks people will like. He is truly one of the best here on the site. I know this interview was in three parts, it is the longest interview I have done to date, and I felt it needed to be. Jabun's story needed to be told and I wanted you to experience the journey in hopes that it would inspire you. If you're a musician just starting out, I hope you learned something today and will take it with you."


Without further wait, I hope you enjoy the ride! Read the full interview below:

great interview, i like the story behind the music, keep playing music like that, you make it great

Thanks so much and happy to hear you enjoyed the interview! I'll do my best :)

It was a good read. Well done with the interview, and onward and upward with future projects. ^_^

Thanks Triosynx and glad you enjoyed it! All the best to you too :)

Was a great read indeed. Would be cool with a follow up to this in a decade or so, compare insights and experiences; see where everything's gone by then... though maybe you're out touring like crazy and way too busy for super in-depth writing sessions at that point. ;)

Anyway this was a blast.

Hehe, I guess we'll have to see what the situation is by then, and glad to hear you enjoyed it! Catching up with all the other comments btw. Thanks for all the praise!
