CONOR JARVIS, BIG THIS YEAR.
Jarvis is living the musicians true dream, being to signed to one of the biggest labels of the decade. He is 2015's new up and coming artist and NOISE got the chance to ask him all the questions you are all dying to hear the answer to.
NOISE: Hello Conor, firstly congratulations on signing to your new record label, Virgin records. How did you manage to win them over?
CONOR: Hello. Well, it was many thanks to Luke Pritchard, the lead singer of the Kooks. I was writing some songs with him and he introduced me, and it all just lifted from there. I played him some of my songs and he asked me to sing on the spot and he loved it. I can't thank him enough.
NOISE: Wow, well done. And Luke Pritchard? How did you manage to start writing with him?
CONOR: I have always been a massive fan of The Kooks and I have been interested in performing and writing music for as long as I can remember and I just put them together and messaged the manager and luckily he agreed to meet me and we have just got on great from there. I class him as a mate now.
NOISE: Do you see any collaborations with yourself and Luke or even the Kooks?
CONOR: Let's just say it has been brought up quite often and if you are interested in that type of collaboration, be sure to check out the new album due to come out next July.
NOISE: Oh yes, ‘happy days’. That's the name of your new album. What is the release date for your new album?
CONOR: It’s available to pre-order right now, but it is up for general sale the 30th March. So be sure to get it.
NOISE: Oh how exciting, I am sure many will be buying it. Other than Luke, is there anybody else who has put work into this album?
CONOR: Well not to give away too much, but you will be see a few recognizable names featured in the album.
NOISE: Interesting. We have a few questions that have be sent in from NOISE readers, The first being, 'How did you find touring with Jake Bugg around the UK?’
CONOR: Jake Bugg is one of my biggest inspirations, and being his support act was truly one of the best moments of my entire life. He is to thank for a lot of my new fans, since this tour I have received so much recognition and Bugg is truly a great person.
NOISE: We have interviewed Bugg before on NOISE, he is such a genuine guy. A question from @georgewale14 from Twitter is ‘How long did it take you to write all the songs for ‘Happy Days’?’
CONOR: Well, there is songs on their that I was writing in lessons at school, but I started to take it seriously about a year and half a go as thats when I was leaving school and had a lot more spare to and really had to take this seriously if I wanted to pursue a career in it, so take that answer how you would like to.
NOISE: Wow, that is real passion. Jennifer from Facebook asks “What made you think of the name ‘Happy Days'?
CONOR: Well, it just is down to the fact that my days are happy. I have always been happy when I am writing, listening or performing. Anything at all to do with music makes me happy. So that is where the name came from since I am now in a music career, my days are even happier. Also, the songs on this album are all joyful songs, so it links with the type of music on the album.g
NOISE: That sounds very pleasant.
