We recently connected with David Eizi and have shared our conversation below.

David, appreciate you joining us today. Do you wish you had started sooner?

Not a lot of people know but I started writing music because I thought GarageBand was a game. I got an iPhone when I was 15 and saw that little guitar on the GarageBand icon and immediately thought it was another game like Guitar Hero or Rock Band, but you had to make the songs. I spent hours in my room writing and writing and writing and listening back to what I did. One of the best feelings is to write something great and listen to it the next day in the morning when you forget everything about it. I tried to make a band with my friends from school, but everyone was so busy and not very serious about it (which makes sense). Anyways, time passed and I moved to Los Angeles to get a degree in Songwriting. I met so many musicians in college and made great friends. I’ve been very happy with most of the projects I’ve been part of like Dead End (Punk) and Secret Thursdays (Indie Rock). However, the most important project for me it’s been and it’ll always be my band Rædiant. It is a Power metal band where I found I could be myself musically. All the epic choruses, fast verses, shredding solos, and powerful synthesizers truly show what I am in every song. I founded Rædiant when I was 22 and of course, sometimes I think how it would have been if I started earlier, but if I did I wouldn’t have met my bandmates, my music wouldn’t have been as good as it is now, and my goals wouldn’t have been so clear as they are now.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I was born in Lima, Peru. I love Pokémon and Zelda, anime, digital drawing, and Peruvian food. I moved to LA to go to college when I was 21. About music, this business is all about connections and networking. It was complicated to understand all the copyright laws, licensing, sync, ownership, and royalties, but as I keep making music, all of it gets more clear. I think the biggest struggle for Rædiant is to find the scene. Power metal is not as heavy as conventional metal, or light as hard rock. We are still looking for places where most people can enjoy our music in our city. On the other side, with our music on Spotify, it wasn’t surprising that most of our listeners were in Europe, specifically in Finland.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

I would love to write music for films, and other artists. To keep going with Rædiant. I want to release concept albums and create an interesting lore behind every song. In the end, my overall goal is to inspire people with my music as other artists inspired me.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

To see other people enjoying what I do, my bandmates, the audience in the shows, our fans on social media. All of that really means a lot and makes me want to do more and more.
