The first of two interviews we had at Animeland Wasabi. I present to you Jan Scott Frazier courtesy of LionHeartX.
Me: First off let me say thank you for sitting down for this interview. I have seen you around at NDK and got the chance to meet you a few times. I even purchased the Voices for Peace album Which was amazing to listen to.
Jan: Thank you
Me: The first thing I would like to find out is, what inspired the album?
Jan: Thats a funny question. Well my technical director John Sugarman has a cover band that said you should come up and do a song with us. And I didn’t sing or anything at the time. I love pondering things and I said if you could do a song with the band what song would you do. And I was like that is an interesting question.So I thought about that for some time, I got sick though, a really bad intestinal bug and went to the ER and they shot me full of morphine. I was listening to my MP3 play and the song for what it’s worth came on. and I thought maybe I should do a song like that that has some sort of meaning to it. Keep in mind this happened over the span of 5 seconds. We should do a song like this that is meaningful. It would be better if someone who could sing did a song like this, like Greg Eris for example. We could do a concert, we could do a charity concert, no we could do a charity album. The next day I called john and said dude I had this crazy dream. He goes thats an interesting idea, He called me back an hour later and said “you know that album idea, I have a band” I didn’t know what that meant at the time but I knew it meant work. And so 6 months later we dropped Voices for Peace
Every story has a beginning. Every person has a moment that defines who they are. The question is how will you let such events change you? That is the focus of Tomb Raider. What starts as a journey to find a missing island turns into an ordeal that shapes Lara Croft from a green archeologist into a fearless adventurer.
