Emotion
Corwyn works hard to imbue his songwriting with emotional punch, delivering catchy tunes that resonate within people’s minds and linger long after the show stops. “You shouldn’t ever appologize for how you feel. What you do, maybe, but never how you really feel.†For JP Corwyn, the emotional content of his songs are merely the avatar a representative face that stands for all that is human in the songwriters and the listeners.
Roots
Corwyn’s immeasurable passion for music stems back to his childhood. Music is a lifetime love for these musicians and the listener can readily detect this passion in the strains of the songs. “Someone once told me that I ‘bleed’ when I sing. Other people have described some sort of light around me when I’m up there. Whatever it is, people feel it when I sing, and that’s a gift I’ll never be greatful enough for.”, Corwyn goes on to say, highlighting music’s ability to bring people together. Music also spans time and space, a quality noted by Corwyn: “Music can take you to any time and place & That’s a power beyond anything else man’s ever created. A bit lofty, but there it is.â€
Philosophy
What makes a song good? “It has to be something that you feel, something that moves you. When music gets in your head, not just because it’s catchy, but because you ‘feel’ something, and everytime it rolls around in your head, you feel that something again… ‘that’ is what makes a song’good’.” Writing songs with which people can relate requires artists to be perceptive. One has to look everywhere. Says Corwyn, “I’m inspired by pretty much everything around me.†An artist must also be ready to respond to inspiration at a moment’s notice; one must stay alert. According to Corwyn, “The word ‘the’ if said just right in a given sentence can send my mind into writing mode. But I think the thing that inspires me the most is the crowd.†And we circle back again to unity via music. Corwyn and Co. hold the crowd in high esteem and seek always to affect the listener with strong music.
Music!
“With the first full-length album in the bag, recorded with multi-platinum winner Michael Seifert, it’s time to tour, and then hit the studio again.†Corwyn says. “There’s still the hunt for a home on a label, but label or not, the music keeps comming.” The CD “In Plain Sight†will reveal to all the talent that ripples through this band.
