Interview: Ruth Lawson chats Chanel Scott Johnson Rate

  "This is a personal adventure in many ways rather than co-heads."

Scott Johnson - AKA Rating Chanel - seems to be a very thoughtful person. You can tell that every word he utters, since well thought out and really means something.

And this is to have a valuable function for every musician, because it was on record inspires confidence in the auditors music and lyrics.

I think these are the reasons why, if you have a very honest review of Chanel feeling comes over you, and to hear intact.

Scott, who recently moved to Newcastle back after a stint in Leeds, admits that he is the "new kid" on the music channels Northeast, but with a slit in the development of the emerging case next week, the doors are set for the young man who learned from his ancestors to open his craft.

"I started playing when I was about 13 years," says Scott. "My uncle and my father taught me to play. Earlier we sit around and jam for hours place of my grandfather., I had this old eight tracks and a Christmas present is where I started to record my own music.

"I loved layering things up. Was I insecure about my voice, and I hated how I live sound., I thought, everything sounded better layers than six times with a load of reverb. I remember reading something in a magazine to do about John Lennon and I think I heard a lot of his stuff at the time.

"That's the basis of my registered today."

During his time studying at Leeds, Scott has been successful in a band called Aviary and offers a wealth of concerts and goes a little party to top it off.

But while aviaries are no longer a large part of the musical sensibility developed in this period helped shape again Chanel.

Scott explained .. "We have a lot of things and play inspired the other two guys in the band play some of my shots attempted delivery of the first songs I was released, a kind of song transition was one project to another, as we wrote together.

"I released a collaboration with one of the guys this week, with the divine Jaymz Dean."

After writing more than a month, goodbye Chanel are now starting to build a good reputation locally concerts presented by the back-catalog of songs written.

Scott asked in a cover band to help pack a punch and shows fans offers something different to the original.

He said: "They add a different feel to the songs live, I do not want this to sound like it does on record, when we play live This is different than the main songwriter, a personal adventure in many.. respect rather than spirit of cooperation, I'm not sure which I prefer, but I have many good friends who play an important role in this project. "

Inspired from all directions means that criticism Chanel musically developed since its inception. After starting with a very ambient sound and acoustics, Scott has seen interest in the production side of things, an electronic feeling creep in.

"I think the best songs are yet to come," said Scott. "Many people say I have" a distinctive sound, "but above all, to the beat of his voice and his guitar are perhaps the only things I kept constant. This is something that I try to evolve, white I do not like the idea, limited to a single tone, but we'll see. "

And when asked how the public reacts Northeastern's music, Scott is also honest with his answer.

"OK, I think I think some people know who I am confused., But it should not as long as they love music regardless. I try to keep things focused on the music, but all the other things with him comes.

"I had some very good reviews. I think the lo-fi quality of my recordings can prevent my chances to play on the radio and serious, but it's enough time for that."
