Interview Poli Correia

Poli Correia ist Sänger von "Devil in me" und von "Sam Alone & the Gravediggers". Die neue D.I.M. Platte "Soul Rebel" ist ein Mega Knaller geworden und nachdem die letzte Scheibe von Sam Alone schon richtig gut war, bin ich schon sehr gespannt auf das neue Release "Tougher Than Leather"

Grund genug dem jungen Mann mal ein paar Fragen zu stellen. Ultra netter und unkomplizierter Typ! 

Hello Poli, how are you?

Sup man?

You are very busy with your music right now. Your two Bands “Devil In Me” and “Sam Alone” released new Albums this year. How does it work?

All good,yeah its been kinda crazy,but zero problems so far!

The way it goes is like this,Pedro takes care of D.I.Ms stuff and i take care of my "own",we're best friends for such a long time,and band mates for the same amount,so we know whats up and how to handle "work",at least,i like to think so.

I guess its all a matter of "will" and passion,and we come from a place were,that is the fundamental key to carro on!!

Do you have some more musical projects?

Yes!!
Music is fun,and its my number one drug,pretty much a addict!!
I've always had side-projects,and always loved to play with different People,it helps you out a lot on the evolving aspect of writting,dont like to limit myself as a musician and human being!!
That been said,the only side project i have know,and want to keep going on with, is CORREIA,and thats me and my blood brother Mike,you should check it out we already have 2 vídeos out!!

What are you doing besides of the music? 

I've been tattooing for 15 years,i run a shop in the south of Portugal called Iron Skull,started when i was 17,i thank tattoos everyday,if it wasnt for them i would never had money to record my songs,i guess thats starting to pay off..ahah!

 

You are a father. How do you balance your career with being a dad?

Well....it aint that hard,not easy though,Maria is 7 now and will turned 8 April 6,i will be on tour,i think i will be in Hamburg that day,and thats the hard part,now and then we miss something important,gotta Learn how to deal with and once you've back home,give all i've got!!My baby Girl means the world to me,and she's always on my mind 24/7!!

How did becoming a father change your life?

I will be honest with you,it only opened way more my perspectives and vision towards the world!!
I come to realized,that i finally got a chance to start changing the world,and by that i dont mean,that i will save it,but it all starts with education,raising a human being is a beautiful thing,it all starts when we are Kids, and it up to parents to teach and show them that..it start by racial issues and respect,by letting her know,thats she is just as special as the next(even knowing thats she is "my" special one)but hope that she will grow up with a positive mind,and not giving to fucks about Flags or any sort of tradicional closed and minded,so yeah,being a father did changed my life..in a real good and powerfull way!

What is your favorite Spot in Lisboa for hanging out with your kid?

Im not for Lisbon,im from the south(Algarve),Quarteira,thats a small fishermen town!!
