Gin Wigmore: The Culture Brats Interview
The first time I heard Gin Wigmore, her voice woke every nerve in my body. I cannot remember the last time I was so affected by music. On October 30th, she released her Man Like That EP in the United States. Consisting of four songs, three from the upcoming Gravel & Wine ("Man Like That," "Black Sheep," and "Kill Of The Night") and one from 2009's Holy Smoke ("Don't Stop"), Man Like That serves as a great introduction to this amazing artist, one that will make you fall in love with her raspy and sultry voice with just one listen and leave you desperately wanting more. I recently spoke with Gin about her voice, her recent swing through the U.S., Daniel Craig, the EP, the upcoming album, Butch Walker, and her dream music festival.
How are you doing today?
Doing really well! Nice to be back in Sydney and having a bit of a chill out for a minute.
At the risk of making the rest of this interview awkward, I've just got to tell you that I love your voice and I think it's one of the most unique voices I've ever heard.
Oh wow.
When did you first realize that you had something different from everyone else?
Probably about fourteen, actually. I was writing these songs to get out my angsty teenage youth and put it onto paper. I think my mom was sick of me whinging about how horrible my life was that she bought me this notebook. I was putting simple chords, C and D chords, to these lyrics. I was singing, and I think it was then that people starting coming up, "Wow, that's kind of a weird voice. That's so weird." When I tried out for the school shows and things like that, I'd never get in. I always blamed it on my weirdo voice. I think I'd always kind of known that it wasn't your regular lovely trained beautiful voice.
You've had a busy past few months here in the U.S. You've done tons of publicity, touring, a guest spot on Revenge, and a live performance on Leno. What was your favorite moment?
I think Leno was pretty cool. Maybe it was because it was right at the end and I knew I was going home so I could relax afterward, but it was also quite a high to me, playing something that is going to reach so many people that you feel, "Whoa. This is just the icing on the cake."
