Geonny Perspective on Gorgeous

My overarching goal as an artist is to be effective, not famous. Touching 1,000 lives is worth so much more tahn touching $1,000.

It’s who I am. If I settle for being anything else that someone else wants me to be, it’ll mean that I'm satisfied, and if I'm satisfied with myself, that means I’ve stopped growing.

In the famous words of 'Nipsey Hussle' "It's  a marathon not a sprint". You’ve gotta treat it like a garden with seeds that you just planted.

 If you keep watering the seeds regularly, eventually you’ll have a harvest of fruit bushes and apple trees.

Michael Jackson for the voice, Frank Sinatra for the class, and Freddie Mercury for the energy.

If all those were food and they came together it’d be a medium rare steak, baked potatoes, and sauteed mushrooms...to put it in lamer terms of course cause i like to eat.

I can never write absolutely anything without a guitar or a piano even if it’s not in the final product.

As a sword is to a Samurai, they are both an extension of myself and of my artistry. 

There's something melancholic and mesmerizing about the Mona Lisa.

Its nature is so simple but the way the darker colors bring balance through dimming the beauty element in it makes it all inspiring.

I honestly see everything in an artistic light because I quite literally can’t help myself.

Every single thing that i go through, hear, or see is another thought to put in my art somewhere along this beautiful journey we call life.

Contrary to the nature of this question, I actually feel more at home and less lonely when I make music or when I'm on stage.

Music is the way I counteract being in a poor mental health space because its my most reliable source of therapy. It's like a dopamine flurry with a cherry on top.

I think it always pushes me to work harder towards my goals as an artist.

I don't see myself doing anything else for the rest of my life so when I’m not doing it I constantly find  a way to do it.

I’ve been a fast food worker and a security officer.

For the most part I wouldn’t of changed anything in retrospect because there are many amazing musicians that came out of the way things went.

I've had a few of those but the one that sticks out like a sore thumb is when my guitar stopped working on stage..I've had a few of those but the one that sticks out like a sore thumb is when my guitar stopped working on stage..

Simple. Not being afraid to spread positivity by being me as a person and as an artist and not what anyone else wants me to do or think.

In all honesty, being homeless. It rebuilt me and destroyed me as a person so much that it almost altered my creative light for the worst.

That song for me is "Viva La Vida" by 'Coldplay' for both positive and negative reasons. It captures the idea of great power coming with great responsibility.

 Just as hard as it was for your empire to rise, it can all be taken from you in an instant, so then that's when you want to start to appreciate it. It's a musical piece that every artist should listen to at least once

I see that as a trick quesion. There are a few roles the artist has in society. To create, inspire and unite.

My definition of success an an artist is making an impact through touching the hearts of people. Another persons life touched is another win in my eyes.

This one I felt in my gut. I had this one young lady tell me that my music made her cry while she was pregnant.

I'm thinking "Wow! If she tell that kid one of my songs touched her heart"  That means my music will be "timeless" and I feel music should be a lifetime enjoyment.

I do, now more than ever. Every musician should. I've had to get vocal lessons and always strive to master each of the 6 instruments I "play."  

As long as I continue to "master" my instruments I'll always strive for excellence.

Word of mouth. There’s nothing like it.

Remarkable, inspiring and compassionate

Euphoria, bliss and freedom

I was sitting under a staircase of a hotel when I was homeless and discovered Artic Monkeys.

Bruno Mars is definitely at the top of that list.

GEONNY and Ed Sheeran at MetLife Stadium.

Michael Jackson for inspiration, Bob Marley to set the vibes right whenever they square off and Queen for the car ride.

The favorite i made is 

'Grow Another One"A lot of pain was put into that song and I was ina dark place in my life when I wrote it. which made me see my situation differently at that time.

It would have to be Michael Jackson by default. His shows were like going to broadway plays and were worth anything you paid for.

A beautiful storytelling sunset with colors beyond one's imagination.

My favorite artist Michael Jackson's music is very immersing. You can either go from falling in love with the girl of your dreams or the girl of your nightmares to being sad about the conflicts of environmentalism and if thats not versatility I dont know what is.

It would be 100% be Ed Sheeran. That guy is a songwriting wizard and a hell of a performer. it would be an honor.

I mainly explore heartbreak and mental health in my music because that's a big part of what makes GEONNY.

My sound and style have evolved in a mature way. With the experiences I've been through in the last three years have definitely played a significant role on how I write, play and perform. 

I'm also incorporating Spanish verses into a few songs, I'm writing Country music and becoming literally an International artists. I'm Punk Rock and more Pop/R&B these days.

I continue to evolve in my stage presence, my vocals (I'm currently taking voice lessons). I feel like you can’t evolve as a musician if you don’t learn anything.

The genre this release plays into is Pop.

I ws about 13 when i wrote my first song that started it all. it was the moment that I knew I belonge in music.

The first song I ever remember hearing was "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond. That song always put me in a happy place as a child.

How my background plays into the song "Gorgeous" is having crushes on girls at a very early age. realizing how pretty some of them were, it may me feel so good inside. you know a little boy not understanding his hormones until my teen years.

I am GEONNY a singer/songwriter/musician that plays 6 instruments. My music is considered to be Pop Alternative (Alternative Pop). Native New Yorker by way of Long Island.
