Interview with TGFA: 2102


Back in Five was lucky enough to bag an interview with artist, Guy Lederman, more commonly known as ‘The Guy From Archway’, the 16 year old musician who’s signed to 5000 Records, has had his songs played internationally, and it working his way up higher and higher in the music industry. Having had written over 22 songs, many of which have been recorded in his own bedroom, with collaborative artists, or in Spain, have covered genres consisting of pop, electro, funky house, soul and many others. Here are a few of the questions from our interview:

Who are your inspirations?

My main inspirations would have to be; Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Ray Charles. They’re also my favourite artists.

How long have you been involved with music for?

I’ve been playing piano for about 9 years now, and have been singing for fun for a bit less than that and I’ve always had an interest in it.

Have you been working on anything recently?

I have a new track which is called ‘Take what I want’, which is a soul/hip-hop song.

What is one ambition you have with your music?

To find and be signed to a major record label, but it would also be amazing to be able to play at a big festival.

What’s the best experience you’ve had since being TGFA?

Doing new things, like meeting labels and managers.

What’s your motto to share with Back in Five?

To enjoy yourself, and to remember that the most important thing is the people around you and your relationship with them.

He has an upcoming gig at The Purple Turtle in Camden, on the 3rd of April, and will be releasing ‘Take what I want’ later this year alongside an acoustic EP.
