Emerging from the vibrant landscape of today’s music scene, 1Bat is quickly establishing themselves as a voice to be reckoned with. Their new EP, “Something to Say,” offers an introspective look at life through deeply personal lyrics and a commitment to authenticity. In an exclusive interview, 1Bat shared the journey of creating the EP, the creative process behind it, and what the future holds.
Behind the Music: A Reflection of Life
Creating an EP is no small feat, and for 1Bat, it was a way to share their personal story with the world. “I began making my EP in an attempt to describe my situation and lifestyle right now,” they said. Music, for 1Bat, is about connection—offering lyrics that resonate personally with listeners. “‘Something to Say’ is a collection of songs that reflect where I am right now in my life, and I hope others find meaning in it too.”
Crafting Each Song: The Old-School Way
While many artists today lean heavily on digital tools, 1Bat prefers a more traditional approach to songwriting. “All of my songs are handwritten on paper before I get in the studio to put the track together,” they explained. This method allows them to fully express their emotions, translating raw feelings from pen to paper and, eventually, to the speakers and headphones of their listeners. This dedication to the craft ensures that each track is not only a song but a piece of the artist’s soul.
Favorite Tracks: A Journey Through Sound
Choosing a favorite track from the EP proved challenging for 1Bat, as each song holds unique significance. “For me, it’s a difficult question to answer as it depends on your mood,” they noted. Still, one track stands out: “If I had to choose, it would be ‘Death or Success’ as I feel it is very meaningful and takes you on a journey as you listen to it.” This track, in particular, showcases the artist’s ability to weave storytelling and emotion into their music, creating a powerful listening experience.
Future Plans: Building on Momentum
With the release of “Something to Say,” 1Bat is focused on what’s next. “My plans are to continue working hard to create music to the best of my ability,” they shared. But making great music is just one part of the equation. “Alongside actually creating the music, I want to put more time into the promotion side of the process,” they added, noting the importance of platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram in reaching new audiences and getting their music into more playlists.
Beyond the Studio: Living the Music Life
Music isn’t just a career for 1Bat—it’s a lifestyle. “To be honest, if there’s not music, I’m probably not there,” they admitted. When not creating, the artist finds solace in rest, as music takes up most of their time. “If I’m not making music, I’m probably asleep,” they said with a laugh. The relentless drive to create music leaves little room for downtime, highlighting their dedication to their art.
With “Something to Say,” 1Bat has made a bold statement, combining personal reflection with a universal appeal. As they continue to evolve and reach new heights, this EP marks just the beginning of what promises to be a remarkable career. Stay tuned for more from this exciting new voice in music.
