5 Questions With - Vicci Martinez
Season two Voice third-place finalist (WHEW!) Vicci Martinez has a new EP out (but you knew that already), and she answered a few of our questions about the EP, herself, Cee-Lo, and…her hair.
1. Has Vicci Martinez post-Voice changed stylistically from Vicci Martinez pre-Voice at all? Or, if not stylistically, how have you changed period?
I cut my hair! My record is definitely different than anything I've done in the past. I was opened up to a new world of production and I wasnt scared, I embraced it. As far as me changing...no. I still live and breathe the same things. LOVE
2. How great was it working with Cee-Lo? No, really though, was it as amazing as I can only guess it is?
It was great to work with Ceelo. Amazing singer/producer/writer...he is his OWN! And what was the best part was he gave us room to be our OWN. When he recorded on Come Along he left the direction up to me and Max Martin, he said "this is your song, I'll do what you want."
3. Your music style is so varied! If you had to compare yourself to someone (or a few people) in music today, who would you put yourself next to?
If Pink and Joan Jett had a lil sis...it would be me ;)
4. Are you finding it hard to make a name for yourself in an industry thats inundated with American Idol/The Voice/X Factor/etc. alums? Or, are you just ignoring all that and just trying to be Vicci?
Thank you for answering it for me :) just being myself, that's what got me to this place. It's been alot harder since I didn't come out with an album right away...the buzz from the show is dwindling, so now I'm doing the "work" like every other signed artist and I'm just so happy to have the opportunity.
5. (I ask this of everyone) What are some acts that you are listening to right now that we should all go out and try?
Janelle monae, jono mcleery, Paul Simon, bob marley have been on my playlist a lot lately
Well that’s just fantastic. Vicci’s EP ‘Come Around’ is out now, and its really, really, really good.
In fact, Vicci has an entire new album (well, featuring the songs already released on the EP) out June 19th. Judging by how good the EP was, you might wanna preorder that now.
Also, say hi to her online and tell her how much you enjoyed the EP AND HER ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS. Makes me look good.
