Hello, how are you? Thank you for agreeing to speak with MTView, can you tell me how the band started?
Hailz.
Great. Thank you for interviewing me. Basically, I am a music producer
of all genres of music. I played the guitar and arrange all the music
except for the drum and vocal. I started this project in the year 2017
with the first single entitled End of Dark Age.
And why Abadawn?
The
name Abadawn was given to me when I was in a band called Exuberance
when I was 17 years old. It was originally spelled Abaddon but I decide
to change the spelling to Abadawn. The rest was history.
How is the music scene of your style in Singapore, do you feel supported?
Singapore
is a small country in South East Asia. The metal community is small but
they have been very supportive and inspiring to me.
What is the album's biggest achievement so far?
Every
day people will share and tag my songs in their posts. It has also have
reached many countries such as the USA, Germany, the UK, and many more.
That's the biggest achievement for me. Really appreciate it a lot.
Do you have anything scheduled here in Europe?
Currently, there is no schedule but it would be one of my dreams to play in Europe.
What was it like working on this album, did the Pandemic help or hinder your creative process?
Due
to lockdown, I have lots of time at home, I manage to do this album in 6
months. 2 songs per month. I am very happy with the result.
Do you think our market is more promising than it was 10 years ago, or do you have a different opinion?
There
are many changes in these 10 years. More bands and artists can be found
on the internet. But due to pandemics, there are lesser shows. But they
could take this advantage to make their own online shows or concert.
This is the best time to really focus on their marketing strategy and
interact with fans. Make more songs.
Can you leave a message for our readers, please?
I
take this opportunity to thank MTView for the interview. Don't forget
to listen to my album entitled The New Chapter. My music videos and disc
will be out soon. Special thanks to my families, friends, and fans that
always support me. Hailz from Singapore and don't forget to follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
