Taylor Boardman, an indie star, met up with the document writer in a London coffee shop. He arrived casually dressed, looking confident but like a normal person. Boardman discussed his music career, saying his style fits the indie genre through use of classic instruments like acoustic and electric guitar. He prefers festivals to gigs due to the atmosphere and flexibility to connect with audiences. His favorite place to perform is his hometown where he can play for family, friends, and fans. The worst job he had before music was as a waiter due to long hours and customer complaints. His best album is "Where the Light Is" which contains his most successful songs. Songwriting takes different methods for him but often involves jamming on guitar

1. Here in London today we met up with Taylor Boardman down in a local coffee shop
to talk about the artist’s career. He saunters in to the shop looking confident with
casual clothes. If you had to think twice you would believe he is a normal person
but he is an indie star.
1. You vent through twitter a lot. What is the most irritating tweet you have
received from a fan? I would have to say that most general tweet I get from
fans is the follow me tweet. Where fans complain and argue about how they
are a better fan than other people and how they deserve a follow to prove
this to the world
2. Do you think your music fits into the indie genre? I feel that my style of music
fits into the genre quite comfortably, as I try to confine myself to the classic
instruments that would be used back in my day when I was a kid such as
acoustic and electric guitars. I was inspired to create my music the way I loved
to listen to it.
3. Do you prefer gigs or festivals? If im to be honest I love festivals so much
more than gigs the atmosphere is great and you know that everyone has come
to see you perform no matter the conditions. Im allowed to bea lotmore
flexible with the way I get my music out to the audience.
4. Favourite location to perform and why?My home town has to always be my
favourite location because it’s where it all began for me and I couldn’t be
happier every time I perform there. It also gives me a chance to perform to my
family, friends and also my fans all at once. It’s a great experience for me and I
couldn’t pick a better place to perform.
5. What was your worst job before your music career? I used to work as a
waiter for a local restaurant. It was the worst job ever the hours were hard
and having to deal with customers that don’t understand how stressful it is
when dealing with your job and their little complaints every 5 minutes.
6. What would you say your best album? I don’t really like to pick but wherethe
light is my favourite album just because it holds most of my successful songs
such as “Stop this train and Free Fallin”. I like to think of that album as my
greatest hits. If you’re to recommend any album to a friend I would always
choose that.
7. How hard is it to write a song, how long does it take? There are different
methods the one I use the most is just grabbing a guitar and jamming out for a
while coming up with a rhythm and then. Then start to put words and
sentences with the songs that then form into rough songs that can be changed
depending on the I instruments used or the way I want to sing it.
