POC Interview


GUNNER PT

Recommended Posts

This is an interview with POC, conducted by GN'R Portugal.

In the interview she talks about herself, about bumblefoot and about GN'R.

We would like to thank POC for her patience, friendliness and availability, for giving us this interview. We would also like to thank Bumblefoot for having approved this interview.

What is the meaning of POC ?

Poc: well, POC.. comes from Pocta....and ..... I have no idea what it means.... damn!

How do you define your music ?

Poc: my music.... is my music personality.... sweet with rough patches in it, lots of intensity but with mellow moments.... I would say Rock with melodic vocals.

Why be a rockstar when you could easily be a popstar ?

Poc: First of all... because I don't see myself being a popstar, and Rock feels so damn good. Why be a rockstar when I could easily be a lawyer? You need to choose your profession with a simple question.... would you still be doing it if you weren't getting paid?

When did u decided that this was what you wanted to do for your life ?

Poc: I made up my mind when I realized that every time I tried to do something different there was something that had to do with music blocking it. For example, the day I was going to take the exam for entering Medical School, that was the day when someone from a record label called me saying that they wanted to work some song with me and I had to move for a while out of the city. A similar story happened when I was about to start working with Bumblefoot.

Which artists influenced you the most ?

Poc: a little bit of all... but mostly Bumblefoot, Pink, Nickelback, Janis Joplin, GNR and Led Zeppelin.

Did you knew Bumble's work before knowing him ?

Poc: Of course... that's why I decided to contact him, I really admire all of his works, as a songwriter, producer, guitar player... and now I REALLY ADMIRE HIM AS A MANAGER.... DAMN HE'S GOOD!!!!

On the livestreams you both seem very close, was it always like that from the beginning ? you both seem to work well with each other. how was working with ron ?

Poc: We made a pretty good connection, although obviously at the beginning it was not like that, We had maybe 1 or 2 fights... one of them I remember it well, it was because I was having a problem singing one part of the song No Quiero Llorar, but no big deal... they were more like little moments caused by stress. But yes, as time went by our way of working definitely improved, and now it's pretty close to being perfect, besides he's very tolerant with me I must say and he's always taking care of me!! You will hear it in the wonderful album we made

Bumble produced your album , did you learned a lot with him ?

Poc: I learned a lot things.... everything was new with him, he improved my singing, music knowledge, way of thinking, he used to give me historical music lessons around 2 am 'til 5 am !!!! talking about Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Heart, Queen, Doors, Zappa, etc.... so yes.. he introduced me to a new whole world of music I didn't know.

Can we expect more music coming from both you and ron together ?

Poc: YES!! yes!! I don't to want to look for another partner... we work so well together, and the result of that is damn good music.

Are u happy with ur album's reception from ur fans ?

Poc: yes.... they are so nice and supportive... and RESPECTFUL.... which I really admire in them.

If you could choose two people , living or dead to perform with , who would you choose ?

Poc: JUST 2?? DAMN.... well... Bumblefoot and Tchaikovsky

Are you a fan of GN'R ?

Poc: I really admire GN'R.

How was opening for Guns n' Roses ?

Poc: Amazing, I really enjoyed it.... the audience loved the new album.

Besides Ron, was there someone from gnr that u most enjoyed to meet ?

Poc: Frank... he`s really funny, although everyone is pretty cool, nice people.

Did you meet Axl Rose ?

Poc: Yes.

Do you hope to open for them again in the future?

Poc: It would definitely be something I'd look forward to... Great experience!

When are YOU going to do a world tour ?

Poc: 2012 hopefully... we are working hard to make that happen.
