Kamaron Quinata at SLO Brew Rock
Its not everyday you get to sit down and interview an absolute legend! In this interview I sat down with kamaron Guitarist of Guam reggae band For peace to talk about his favorite music, how the quarantine is affecting him and the band, first time playing in the state and so much more
Q: What are the plans for the future?
A: Taking music to the next level with For Peace Band and getting my career started as a solo artist
Q: How’d you and the For Peace guys link up/how long have you been a band
A: I was in a corporate band with Fred, the drummer, so i solidified my reputation as a solid guitarist that can fulfill his musical needs - I joined the band officially in fall 2018 and it’s been a blessing since.
Q: What was the first time playing in the state’s like
A: The first time playing out here was absolutely UNREAL. The amount of love we got during and after the show dwarfs the reactions we were used to back home; the fans make pursuing this career so easy and enjoyable.
Q: What got you involved in music in the first place?
A: I took a liking to the guitar and Ukelele when I saw one of my uncles play it. I instantly fell in love and I actually picked it up very quickly.
Q: How do you feel about the internet in the music business?
A: The internet is a canvas for any artist to promote themselves and reach millions of people. The internet is one of the best things that has happened for artists, because now we can literally promote merch and music from home.
Q: What new music do they like?
A: Well, for me, I am influenced by all of the virtuosic guitarists from the rock ages. I personally don’t have much influences for my instrument from reggae, but for music production, I can say the producer Pana from Hawaii is setting the tone for some sweet roots reggae music.
Q: Favorite local venue to play and why
A: My favorite local venue we played in the states was the troubadour in California!
Q: How has this quarantine affected you/For Peace
A: The whole situation gives our band a lot of time to scheme, produce music, and take a break from hitting the road as often as we do. It’s bittersweet because there is so much time to collaborate and create music, but the possibilities of touring seem so distant. The struggle for us is to stay optimistic throughout all this and to continue to get one step closer to our goals in music everyday.
