We caught up with Downtown Studios Studio One Lock Out winner Stephen van Deventer, for a quick chat and this is what he had to say.
Where are you from?
* Centurion, Pretoria
What is your background in music?
* I took it as a subject when I was 14, felt a bit forced by my mom to be honest, but it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I taught myself guitar when I was 16, and started looping at 18.
When did you know that you wanted to be an artist?
*At 14, when I performed for the first time, I knew this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
What’s steps have you taken to realising your dream?
*I've learned instruments, started performing and being active on social media as an artist.
What does winning the Downtown Studios Studio One Lock Out competition mean to you?
* Winning means a lot because the recordings will help me create an excellent demo for my future, hopefully help me with a recording label.
Where do you hope to see yourself in the next five years?
* I see myself on stage with some fans knowing the lyrics to my songs and some just jamming out wanting to learn my songs :)
What advice can you give younger aspirant artists just like you?
* Not that I'm in a position to give advice because I'm also starting out but I would say to never give up, don't always do what people say, just follow your heart.
Thanks for the chat Stephen, we wish you the best of luck!
