Well, we have Alex Winston in the studio today. Hi, Alex. Nice to see you. How old are you? I am 23, but for some reason everyone thinks I'm 19. I don't know who started that rumor, but I'm 23. I've seen a lot of posts that you're 19! I mean, the thing is, most people would probably be excited about that, but I'm really okay with my age. I'm like... can you guys get it right? I'm 23. I never want to relive those teenage years. I'm totally content being 23. How did you start out performing? Well, I feel like I've been doing it my entire life. I started taking music lessons and singing when I was about 10. I started bands at a pretty young age and played with my friends back in Detroit. I've always known that I wanted to do this. It was all I was ever interested in doing. I never had, outside of music, any extracurricular activities that I took part in. Are... are you a classically-trained opera singer? I guess. I took opera lessons. I can't read music to save my life, but I would just copy and get away with it. I think that they thought I could read music, but I can't. I would just listen. I did that for about 10 years. I would listen to my teacher and the melodies. She would sing it. It was really me just mimicking. That's one of the reasons I decided I didn't want to do that anymore. I felt that I really couldn't be creative with opera. You're supposed to sound this way here. You're supposed to crescendo here. You're supposed to do that. I had no sense of identity while singing that kind of music. Who and what are some of your influences? Well, really all over the place. Detroit, definitely because of Motown and Stooges. When you come from a place like Detroit, you're really proud of what you have there. I grew up listening to a lot of that stuff, but also early rock-and-roll like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Elvis. I feel like as I grew older, I've been working with different musicians, people that are constantly showing me different things. One of my old bandmates was really into metal and 80s rock, so I really got into that, too. I also love country, folk, and strong female voices, like Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton, PJ Harvey, and Kate Bush. I was trying to think of comparisons, but I was having a really hard time because your voice is so different. I could definitely see a lot of that in your music. I couldn't really define it, which is cool because it's so hard to find something so original. That makes me really happy, because it seems like everybody wants to do this comparison game. Just because I'm a young girl that makes somewhat "left-of-center" pop music, they want to tell you that you're like this person instead of taking it for what it is. Which artists have you had a great experience touring with? I hate saying I'm a new musician, because I've been doing this forever, but they like to put new musicians on a lot of weird bills. I've toured with Freelance Whales and Ted Nugent; the spectrum is that crazy. I'd say opening for Chuck Berry was such an important night for me. Anyone that I've ever wanted to share the stage with, he's in my top 5. That was really cool. I just felt like, where am I supposed to go from here - I played with one of my idols. It's just impressive to me that he is still doing what he does. He's been playing since the 50s. He just puts on such a good show. Even if he messes up a few chords, I mean, come on! It's Chuck Berry!
好的，今天我们演播室请来了埃里克斯。你好，埃里克斯。 很高兴见到你。 你多大了？ 我23岁，但由于一些原因，大家认为我19岁。我不知道传言由谁引起，但我肯定是23岁。 我看过很多报道，说你19岁。 我想说，许多人可能对年轻感到兴奋，但我真的很满意我的年龄。就像……你们能理解吗？我23岁。我不想重新过一遍那些青春期的时光。我很满意自己的年龄。 你如何开始自己的演艺生涯？ 哦，我感觉自己已经演了一辈子了。我10岁的时候开始学习音乐和演唱。很早就组了自己的乐队，和朋友在底特律演奏。我一直都知道自己就想做这件事。我一直只对这件事感兴趣。除了音乐，我没有参加过其他的业余活动。 你是受过训练的古典歌剧演唱家吗？ 也许吧。我上过歌剧课。我不会读乐谱，但我会模仿唱腔，蒙混过关。我想他们以为我会读谱，但我不会。我只会听。我上了10年歌剧课，听老师唱、欣赏旋律。她唱，我模仿。因为这个原因，我决定不学歌剧了。我感觉自己不会在歌剧上有所创新。这个地方你应该这么唱。这个地方你应该逐渐加强音量。你不应该这么唱。这让我在演唱时觉得自己毫无个性。 哪些人，哪些事对你产生了影响？ 哦，太多了。底特律，肯定是因为汽车城音乐和喜剧配角。你来自底特律的一个地方，你真的会以那个地方为荣。我听着那些音乐长大的，还挺早期摇滚乐，像查克波利、小理查德、杰里里维斯和埃尔维斯的歌。我长大后，和不同风格的音乐家共事过，他们向我展示了不同的事物。我的一个前乐队成员非常喜爱80年代的摇滚乐，我也是。我也喜欢乡村乐、民俗乐和雄壮的女音，如克劳斯、帕顿、哈维和布什。 我试着比较过，你的声音太独特了，很难和他们相比。我无法定义你的音乐，太酷了，很难发现这么具有原创性的音乐。 我很高兴这样，因为好像所有人都想做这个比较。只因我很年轻，又是流行歌手，他们会告诉我我像这个人，而非我就是我自己。 你和哪位艺术家一起巡演过？ 我讨厌人们说我是新手，因为我一直都从事音乐，他们喜欢把新手印在奇怪的海报上。我和威尔士、纽根一起巡演过，场面相当壮观。我觉得，为查克波利唱开场对我来说十分重要。在我想与之同台表演的五个人中，他是一个。和他表演真是太棒了。我感觉，我该怎么说呢——我和我的偶像一起表演。让我印象深刻的是，他还坚持着。从50年代起，他一直演奏，演出非常成功。即使他偶尔搞错旋律，拜托，他是查克波利诶！
