I Write Songs from the Heart not the Head

50K M: Who are you, where do you come from, …? Please tell us something about Scott Brunger.
Scott: My name is Scott Brunger, I come from Maidstone in Kent and I’m 27. I was brought up on a council estate in Maidstone, I never finished school yet went on to get a degree in music at Chichester University in West Sussex. I am proud of my education but I am also aware that it is useless, I wrote songs from the heart and not the head before uni and still do now. I am a father of two beautiful girls but other than that I am just a songwriter and nothing more. I live only to see my music succeed and that one fact about me describes almost everything else I am.

50K M: How did you discover SellaBand?
Scott: I had a burst of energy one morning whilst looking after my youngest daughter and decided to join all of Reverb Nations affiliates. I particularly liked Sellaband as I had not come across that kind of format before.

50K M: How are you going to convince people to believe (and invest) in you?
Scott: I find it hard to portray myself as something special at the best of times but I truly believe that my style of Country music will satisfy true country tastes in the same way most alternative music does. I don’t call it “Alternative Country” because I was brought up on 80′s country-rock-pop pap, that I feel is the Alternative to good country music. I believe people will follow a cause more willingly than just one persons ego and I really want to bring country music back to the good songwriters and away from the multi-billion dollar American music industry.

50K M: You’ve just started your project on SellaBand. Have you thought about the time after reaching the goal of 20k yet? What are your plans then?
Scott: I need investment to be able to take my music to America, I believe that the old tour-bus way is the best, play as many states as possible and build support in the home land of country music. I don’t believe America is the be-all and end-all of music but to dirty up the clean generic crap being passed of as “Country” you need to start over in the same way people like Johnny Cash, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan did.

50K M: And last question: How can we support you to speed up raising your budget?
Scott: The goal is to get me on the road, so money is only needed if its needed, I can only see as far as travelling costs, food money etc because I have very little knowledge of how things are done, the most valuable thing is professional support. I need a manager or an agent or just someone who knows what there doing and what I want to do. That is worth more to me than all the money in the world. My heart is with the music, the performance and the recording, the money is for anyone and everyone who gets me there.
