This Week's Q&A With Joss
Q: Ivanna R. - Where is your favorite place to write?
A: I'll write anywhere that I feel inspiration, generally that tends to be in places that are beautiful or surrounded by really talented people. I love writing at my home in Devon and also tend to collaborate with other musicians on the lyrics, the music and the general feel. The best songs come out of awesome jam sessions.
Q: Alex G. - Would love for you to lay down a very soulful house track, any plans for that?
A: That would be a very cool plan, and the idea of remixing one of my songs has been something I’ve thought about doing, I guess you’ll need to stay tuned! In the meantime, I think that although it isn’t a house track, “Teardrops” is a song that you can have a good dance to.
Q: Christina R. - "Cutting the Breeze" is on my running playlist. Every time I hear it I wonder if it's about a real guy, and a real moment in your life, is it?
A: All my songs are influenced by something, sometimes they happen to me, sometimes they are based on something that happened to someone I know. That one is based on stories from when I went travelling in Janice, my camper van.
Q: Vinicius G. - If you weren't a singer, what would you be?
A: I’d have loved to have been a midwife, who knows maybe one day I will be. You never know where life is going to take you.
Q: Joe V. - Where's somewhere you've never been and still want to go?
A: There are actually so many places that I’ve been that I still want to go back to because I often only see the hotel, the airport and the venue. As far as places I’ve never been to at all, well there’s a lot of Africa I haven’t seen and I would love to head to Antarctica. I’m in the middle of planning a super world tour where I will visit all the countries in the world so I guess I will be heading there soon!
Q: Laura M. - Have you ever taken any formal musical training?
A: Not really, I had a few lessons when I was younger and I have undertaken vocal training. That was more about making sure you breath correctly and don’t injury your voice, rather than being trained. When I was younger though, I did learn from some of the best people in the industry, just through working with them. It was like having the world’s coolest apprenticeship.
Q: @AlwayswithJoss - What do you value most in your life?
A: My family and my dogs because they are always there.
Q: @uncle_gray - If you could do 1 concert where you haven't played before, where would it be?
A: TIn the middle of a rainforest would be cool or on the top of a mountain.

| | A Dream Come True Hello Joss. My name is Jeanette and I am currently on military orders in Italy for only a few weeks. I have the amazing opportunity of possibly visiting your country and hometown and was wondering if I could possibly chat with you. It has always been a dream of mine of visiting your native country and i thought, well, I know Joss is from there and I am really inspired by your music in so many ways, why not attempt to meet here while you are close. Another item on my bucket list is also to go to your mothers restaurant so this is just overwhelming because its all so close but yet so far. Either way i figured its worth a try. And of course thank you for all that you are not aware that you do for us!! Posted by 2013-05-06 07:10:18 |

| | "Mix of a Mix" 1) When are you likely to return to Australia? My two sisters saw you perform in Brisbane in which they got a rose from you and a man was put in line rather firmly (by you) when he proposed marriage...a number of times. :) 2) How likely are you to perform songs written by someone else nowadays, in line with what you sing of course. But then you can sing anything... 3) Do you ever let someone sing with you from the audience as long as s/he is a good singer? I want to put my hand up for my sister if you were ever cool with something like that. Ps I promise she isnt one of those god awful shower singers and I can prove it as she was the demo singer for me when I studied Audio Engineering, so I still have those songs saved written by me. (Course requirement). Posted by 2013-04-03 04:12:14 |

| | Adele Aren't you concerned that Adele is clearly more popular than you. Perhaps if you were more available to your fans, and had a good publicist to promote you, you could stop the embarrassing decline. You are, afterall, a better singer and performer than Adele, and it hurts the hearts of your fans to see you being overlooked. Posted by 2013-02-12 16:39:18 |
