We caught up with the brilliant and insightful ALEX KAUTZ a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, ALEX thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.
Taking risks is one of the most important things I’ve learned to do in this life. I went to business school (briefly) and learned in a marketing class that the best thing you can do is trial and error. You have to see what works for you as a brand and build off of that. Writing songs is like taking a risk – you might take audience out of their comfort zone – but if the songs are good… they don’t care!
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?
Hello, i’m Alex Kautz and I started playing guitar and writing songs when I was 13. I have two albums and multiple other singles that I’ve released throughout my career as a songwriter. I’m 27 now, I’ve had a lot of time to write songs! I’m most proud of the fact that I have kept going through the obstacles in my life – being rejected from TV shows or other gigs, it just puts a damper on your spirit – but I’ve kept going and very proud of that.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
My goal and mission as singer songwriter is to inspire people and tell them to keep going. It’s a simple as that.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being creative?
The most rewarding aspective being an artist is when people respond well to the songs that I’ve personally written myself – there is no other better feeling than that!
