Interview with Alex Staples (Toxic Waste)
I recently conducted an interview with MSB Music Biz student, Alex Staples. Alex goes to the BC campus, has been featured on Red Vinyl Media albums and at shows, and creates music under the name Toxic Waste. Here's what he had to say:
Tell us about your music?
My music is tends to be classified as a combination of raw lyrics and passion that's hard to miss. I started writing lyrics when I was around 10 years old. The first time I ever performed live was when I was 16 years old. I was was extremely nervous and on the verge of collapsing.
What made you want to pursue music as your career?
There was no other option. Plain and simple. That's all I ever wanted to do.
Why MSB?
MSB was quick with the phones. There were the first one's to call back. I started at IPR but had problems with the faculty.
Your favorite artist?
If I had to choose one, hands down, it would be Eminem. No other compares to the amount of inspiration he has fueled me with.

the industry (free or not)
If you think about, it's a very interesting industry. When I was a little kid in the 90's, my sister would tape stuff off of the radio with her boombox and its tape recorder. She would also do the same with CD's. That was then. This is now. People are able to access free, illegal music now all of the time with computers. But, the fact is, that it has actually been occuring for a long time. Even before digital technology. People recorded bootlegs at live shows and sold them for a profit. Some people shoplifted from record stores. Let's face it, music is expensive. At a certain point, people ask, "Can I really afford to buy any more?" People go to stores like Cheapo and get great deals on used CD's, but then they find out that new CD's are sold for $18.99! It gets crazy expensive. I don't think I would pay more than $12 for a good CD. I want to hear clips of songs before I buy, especially of artists that are not on the radio. Sometimes the only good radio is Sirius or XM radio. I like podcasts that show you clips of songs by indie bands. I like record stores that aren't afraid to play unheard of music. What are your thoughts?
