Loco Amor
Release Year: 2012

 

STEVE XANTHIS: You start recording your own songs and do a solo career. However you
played on the band SKINTIGHT. How did you decide to do a solo career?

CECILIA: It was time for a new chapter and I wanted to try my wings on new heights.

STEVE XANTHIS: Do prefer to play with a band or to do solo stuff?

CECILIA: Band! I love working with a team towards the same goal and I get a lot more out of it when
I can share the music and progress with my band. Even though I started this by going solo I now have
a band with me, so that feels great.

STEVE XANTHIS: Who or what inspired you to be a musician and what music means to you?

CECILIA: I always had music around me growing up and I started to write songs very early. I never thought
about it, that was just the way things were. I can't imagine myself doing anything without music.
For me it's a lifestyle and a good old friend. There's music for every day of your life.

STEVE XANTHIS: Which is the reason you play Melodic Hard Rock music?

CECILIA: Well, for me it starts with an acoustic version that later blooms into the song. It's about finding
the right musicians to build the song because it's the members of the band that make the sound.
I'm happy that my road led me to this genre where I feel at home. I guess that's the reason.

STEVE XANTHIS: Musically, people think of you like the birth of a new Melodic Rock Star!
How do you feel about that? Do you feel blessed or doomed to meet the high standards?

CECILIA: Haha, honestly I'm here to do what I love. I hope that people appreciate my art and are willing to open
up to it. With all the great music released around the world, of course it's not gonna be easy. But we all got
different taste and I don't believe I'm alone with mine.

STEVE XANTHIS: Your debut single "Loco Amor" was released in September of 2012.
How do you feel about that? Tell me a few things about this project.

CECILIA: It was a great experience. It worked a little bit like a first shout out that I'm now doing something new.
Now I can work with all the other songs in peace, while Loco Amor still got an echo that shouts out Cecilia Gholamy,
haha.

STEVE XANTHIS: Do you have any plans for a full length album?

CECILIA: Right now I'm recording and writing songs with the band. I don't know where it will take us,
but I can't wait to get back up on stage, so we're heading in that direction.
I want people to know our music before we release an album so there will be more songs up on our
website as soon as we finish recording them.

STEVE XANTHIS: Which are your intentions of this solo career that you start?

CECILIA: To follow my dreams! I wanna get my music out there and play shows.
When the time is right, record my first album with a crew I believe in.

STEVE XANTHIS: Do you plan to come at Greece sometime for a show?

CECILIA: I would love to! I've been to Greece before and I would be very happy to return soon.

STEVE XANTHIS: What Cecilia Gholamy do in her spare time?

CECILIA: I love to be around nature and animals. I find it to be more important who I'm with than
what I do so I have to say being around close friends and family and do anything at all.

STEVE XANTHIS: Thank you very much, that was all, say the first thing that comes
in your mind to BeRock Radio readers/Listeners.

CECILIA: Follow your dreams an keep an open mind! Don't forget to be a part of the adventure at

I hope to see you all very soon! Peace!
