Interview with made-up artist, Jonathan Samn, about an upcoming album. For this I shall interview a friend who will play the role of Jonathan to allow me to create a realistic, authentic interview. He will also serve as a model for the images on this page and for the album cover of the made-up album I will create for this project. 

Interview

Me: Okay hello, I'm here with Jonathan Samn, the one and only!
Jonathan: Hey.
Me: So you've got a new album coming out, haven't you?
Jonathan: Yeah, pretty excited. It's quite auto-biographical I must say. It's very emotional.
Me: So what are the songs featured on the album? I know there's 'Tripping Off', which everyone is very excited about.
Jonathan: Yeah, it's about my descent into a pit of unhappiness. It's very emotional. It details a very important moment in my life, I don't want to go into it but basically my mum died. Yeah, died of a pretty gruesome car accident. I said I wasn't going to go into details but I think it's too late now. 
Me: If you don't want to talk about it that's fine.
Jonathan: No I'll talk about it more. She was in hospital, dying a lot. I don't care, you need to hear my story. If you don't want to hear about it it's in my album. Listen to it, it's £12.9, a bit pricey but that's the price you pay for a harder life.
Me: Did it take you a lot of work for this?
Jonathan: Yeah, all my life basically. For this. It's an artists dream to be able to produce something which puts your soul into it. I feel like without this album I am nothing.
Me: Your fans are very excited, can you tell them anything about it?
Jonathan: There's a bonus track, about my rebirth. 
Me: That's very deep.
Jonathan: Yeah, a rebirth into my new life, that I am in now, or will be going to soon. You better be excited for it, it's called 'Death'.
Me: So what was your inspiration for this album?
Jonathan: Basically some hard times in my life, a sequence of events which lead to my downfall, it's b****y hard. 
Me: So it's called 'Cloud 9', what's the meaning behind that?
Jonathan: Well when people are happy they say they're on cloud nine. I've never been that happy. But I feel like I was that happy last year, but now I'm not that happy an it's about my descent into that unhappiness. 
Me: That's very deep. How does this album differ from your previous releases?
Jonathan: It's a bit more auto-biographical, a bit more grungy, got harsher sound to it to reflect the harsher stages of my life but I think this is my best album yet.
Me: I think so too.
Jonathan: Thanks, you should think that.
Me: When do you think you'll be going on tour again?
Jonathan: Oh I don't know if I can manage a tour, but I will manage it for my fans. March 25th to August 28th, that's my tour dates. But I don't think I'll be able to make it, I'm not sure, but make sure you come. I'm in Birmingham, London, Glasgow, all around the UK and Worldwide. But I don't know because I'm so sad at the moment.
Me: Well I hope you're able to make it that tour. 
Jonathan: The tickets are on sale tomorrow.
Me: What can you tell me about the other songs on your album?
Jonathan: 'Rock Bottom', it's got a few euphemisms in there about my life and who I am, and 'Falling Slowly', ah that song. It's a slow song, it's a break in the middle of my album from all the harshness, a kind of euphoria in falling into this sadness when I liked to be sad and I was fine with it. I was kind of falling slowly into a depression and it's very deep.
Me: I feel like this album really reflects what you're going through.
Jonathan: It does.
