Smooth Artist Interviews
Mike Di Lorenzo
What aspect of the creative process, from concept to market, do you personally find to be the most rewarding?
The most rewarding aspect for me is the collaboration with the other musicians involved who add tremendous value in helping create the final product. I get the most enjoyment when presenting a track to a vocalist without any specific guidelines and hearing what they come back with to make it into a song.
How would you finish this sentence? I don't like to go a day without_________?
Drinking coffee, playing my instrument and listening to music.
What's your absolute favorite part of the World, and why?
I love to visit Europe. The food, beauty and history.
How did your new album/single and overall concept for it come about?
It's an extension of my last 2 releases, this time including more upbeat instrumental tracks in addition to using 2 of my favorite vocalists.
On a scale of 1-10, how much do you enjoy composing music?
