Brian Peeler |

Junior’s Cave prides itself on interviewing the followers of the indie
culture. For those who are unfamiliar with this term, Wikipedia.com
describes indie culture as an avant-garde lifestyle which follows
social trends that consciously deviate from the mainstream. The
uniqueness of its followers is appreciated here at Junior’s Cave and
from time to time, we are privileged to interview one who feels as we
do; Brian Peeler, BRAVO’S WORKOUT, recently honored us with a phone
interview, and I quickly came to realize that while he too appreciates
the indie culture, he’s really just a good old North Carolina boy.
I immediately noticed that Brian was personable, with oodles
of southern hospitality and charm. As I began the process of dissecting
Brian’s background, he allowed the questions to flow naturally since he
provided high energy responses to my queries. I quickly learned that
Brian grew up in a small North Carolina town that boasts a population
of about 2,600 people; growing up in this small community is the main
reason for allowing him to remain grounded. This close knit community
provided the foundation that continues to shape Brian’s family values,
beliefs, and opinions so that he is able to bring his special brand of
small town attitude to America and eventually the world.
In fact, Brian Peeler is the vintage family man. He makes time
for his family by travelling at least twice a year to North Carolina
even though he now lives in Los Angeles. One of the interesting
elements to our conversation was when Brian revealed that he spent 9
months as a Flight Attendant; he left just before 911. Also, Brian
moved to Miami to get into acting and modeling. Although he had some
success with modeling and acting, Brian knew that real contenders in
this particular profession needed to live in pr near what he calls, the
“Television Fitness Mecca”, Los Angeles.
Brian describes Los Angeles as a place where one could never
get bored. Furthermore, Brian as a heterosexual male is an advocate of
the gay community. Living in Los Angeles in fact supports his
passionate belief that respect and dignity is for everyone no matter
one’s sexual proclivity, race, gender etc. As a matter of fact, Brian
carries this belief back to his home town whenever he visits. He wants
to make the people of his hometown aware of the negative and hostile
attitudes that many have against the LBGT community.
As a personal trainer on a hit reality show on Bravo, Brian
has remained grounded as a person. He doesn’t let his star status
influence him in a negative way. He realizes that in order to help
people one cannot be above them emotionally or mentally. This drive has
prompted Brian to pitch for a new show that he has stated will focus
primarily on fitness and about truly helping people. He does not want a
show whose primary focus is say sex. As far as reality series goes,
Brian knows if his show is picked up some drama will follow; that is a
part of television.
When asked about whether WORKOUT is scripted, Brian exclaims that,
“what you see is what you get”. The disagreement one sees on the show
is all real. When asked about the possible pitfalls that he has
encountered while being on a reality series, Brian explains that a
series like WORKOUT requires a lot of one’s time.
Brian also revealed that being on the television show has
not per se garnered him additional clients. The truth of the matter is
that Brian has received a few more star clients but with his scheduling
and their schedules don’t always meet.
To switch the mood of the conversation, I asked Brian what
type of lady would catch his eye. Brian attempts to laugh this off but
he eventually reveals that she has to be pretty, a great
conversationalist, have aspirations and finally she needs to be able to
love him for him. One of the most pivotal moments in Brian’s life was
the passing of his best friend Doug . Brian’s biggest pain consisted of
having to relive it three times: one time when it happened, another
time when the episode aired, and a finally time when people would offer
their condolences. Brian says Doug will always be with him and he knows
that Doug is watching over him.
In closing, I asked Brian to provide a final statement about the
current state of fitness in America. Brian’s personal philosophy as
follows:
“If you do not take care of your body which is your home, then where are you going to live?”-
Brian Peeler
These are wise words from a very intelligent, handsome, yet down to earth person.

NazB |
||
Sometimes very passionate, sometimes very raw, sometimes very
smooth—Naz B, who is originally from Nigeria, is the perfect choice.
Full of energy, passion, and life; NazB has the perfect combination
that is needed to be a successful entertainer. From the way he dresses
to his deliverance to his sweet flawless flow, NazB is reaching for the
stars. One of the best aspects about NazB is how perfectly his music
blends R&B and Hip-Hop into a nice mixture. His greatest
strong-point is that he is versatile in his selection. Whether he is
spitting rhymes about partying or the growing issues in the urban
communities NazB takes his art seriously and gives it a 110 percent.
If you are looking for something that has a mixture of styles and some
deeper meaning, then NazB is your perfect choice for an entertainer.
Don’t be afraid to take a chance and try new music because you will not
be disappointed if you do. I had the opportunity to review NazB’s
latest effort and was utterly pleased. Around the World is a hot jam full of energy, passion, and fun.
I give Around the World a solid B.

Check out our newest interview with Montreal Native WADR (With All Due
Respect). Their music is mesmerizing and captivating. The music takes
the listener on a journey that will have the listener wanting more.
Junior’s Cave just LOVES their music and thinks you will too.
The members of the group consist of two professional Audio Architects.
Their background is in sound design. One of the members of the group’s
influences is from reggae & hip-hop the other from Electro &
Industrial; together they create a fascinating sound. Check out the
interview to learn more about them.
Isaac: Briefly describe how you entered into the music industry.
WADR: Skinny Puppy and Lee Scratch Perry.
Isaac: What is the most rewarding aspect to making music currently for you?
WADR: To be able to pay my rent while making it.
Isaac: What has discouraged you the most about making music?
WADR: To not be able to pay my rent while making it.
Isaac: Do you have a personal philosophy about music? If so, what is it?
WADR: No boundaries, if we want to make a polka version of a Johnny Cash cover; we will at least try it…
Isaac: When you are performing live in front of an audience, what are the thoughts that are running through you head?
WADR: Is there enough bass? I wonder if there’s enough bass…
Isaac: Why is being an independent musician important to you?
WADR: Well, when an artist is financially independent, he can do so
many interesting things with much freedom. Sometimes, depending on
record labels and contracts, you are trapped doing this and that and to
us it takes its toll on the long run. I think we will try to stay
independent for as long as we can, or if we do sign with someone, it
will be with a label that understands exactly what we do and we want to
do; because if not, what is the point, right ?
Isaac: Do you think the Internet has altered the path of music as an industry; If so, how?
WADR: Good Question! It did! Obviously, it did adjust the industry. I
think we are just starting to see the impact of what is to come with
the INTERNET issue. With all new medium and changes coming to a market,
it makes some people grind their teeth, and others stuff their bank
account. The only negative side to this new market I see for now is
that young consumers don’t seem to be caring for the quality of the
audio they buy anymore. It’s not the amount of songs you have in your
portable player that counts; it’s the file quality--unless you want to
use sign language to listen to music in a couple years… We do need to
get rid of the drm/locked/can’t do attitude. And I wanna say something
here, this is strictly my opinion, but we seem to live in a world where
celebrity equals talent and where make-believe is called reality. Do
you really need Paula Abdul to tell you what is good for you? Wow! I
feel much better now... ;)
Isaac: Any advice for other musicians out there when it comes
to using the Internet as a medium for getting their music heard to the
m****?
WADR: Spammers are the axis of evil of the Internet (Damn! W,
get out of my slang!!) Be creative on how you use the free tools of the
net (We don’t need to specify them), always be polite, an email can be
perceived in many, many, many ways. Trust me on this one. And very
important, take the time to do your research. It is not because someone
somewhere affiliated with some A&R from some big labels is offering
you a service to promote or sell your music that they will do it
properly. Read all the policies before you click -I AGREE- Make sure to
ask a lot of questions first, and then send the credit card details.
Last but not least : be very patient, GOOGLING gives you fast results,
but if you are serious about your music, know and understand that it
takes time to build an independent career, unless your are financially
wealthy. Fiou!
Isaac: What kind of recording software do you use?
WADR: We use many many software. Some things we will record with
Ableton Live; we have been using LIVE Since Version 1, for mixing. We
work closely with a friend of ours, and he is a LOGIC monster, don't
even start trying to make him test another software. He will bite your
head off. So, for composing and arranging we use Ableton Live. To mix,
we go directly into logic. On the recording side, we use mainly NATIVE
INSTRUMENTS (all of them...hungry on the CPU, but orgasmic on the end
results) and Spectrasonics software. The rest is mainly hardware
including Moog Voyager, MV8000, Andromeda, and others. I could go on
and on about gear so I will stop now before my girlfriend gets jealous…
:)
Isaac: I know that everybody has his or her idea of a dream
artist, someone who for whatever reasons that person would just love to
listen to and admire. As an entertainer yourself, if you could play
with one of your "dream" musicians, anyone at all, who would it be and
why?
WADR: I would probably scream for hours knowing that I just
finished a recording session with Leonard Cohen for our new album. Him
coming to our studio, without any lyrics, we open a bottle of wine and
just start talking and listening to music, than all of a sudden, the
idea emerge in his head. And he just start writing a song about a girl
he once loved and we take the track over some instrumental track we did
the night before and BAM! It fits perfectly--that to me will be
perfect. The same scenario with Hope Sandoval (singer from Mazzy Star)
will also give me goose bumps, except we need to change the idea for
the girl to a guy, I think!...
Isaac: What are you hoping to gain from your experience of being a musician and making music?
WADR: If you read my answer to your previous question that sums it up
really, to collaborate with other artists that inspired us to make
music and to do what we love; each day. :)
Isaac: What are you hopes for your music in the year 2008?
WADR: That more and more ears get the chance to listen to it [their
music], and enjoy it, and to be able to start to work on a follow up to
Blueprint for Destiny.
Isaac: This is our Shout Out time. Please give props to anyone and everyone that matters the most to you.
WADR: A big up to : ydaunais.com, JWLKR, Kali, Millimetrik, 7578.com, Sue, a different Muse, Jimmy Hayes, bob+amy50, descendo.com, Nat Gadoua xx, Donzelle, Eve B, FX, jeje Boyer, Martin Charette, Phil, bap.fm, melopia, Solotech, woolflapin.com, fred+mm et rob, Swayzak, etc…WADR loves you ...
Isaac: This is Shameless Plug time: Give us some updates on new releases and other projects in the works.
WADR: Our album Blueprint for Destiny is now on sale on all iTunes store, Amazonmp3, Napster, eMusic,
Rhapsody and lala. A Remix project called RE:PRINT FOR DESTINY is in
the works, remix by Swayzak, Intercom, Millimetrik and much more. Plus
new versions of some tracks from the album, covers, and much much more
to be released only in Vinyl and Download. AND, we should start the
paperwork to get financing for the next album; hopefully with help, if
not, from our own pockets. :(
Isaac: Final Thoughts:
WADR: Support your local Scene and thank you so much Isaac for doing this: Check us out at www.virb.com/wadr, www.myspace.com/wadr, and www.withallduerespect.ca.
