Interview With Iconic Rock Star Manson
What is the background to your stage name Manson? Did you
have any other ideas before this one?
“It means the fierce one, and this is evident in the music that I produce as it all stems from the bad childhood I went through. I use my music as an escapism and way to express my feelings instead of going off the rails, and I think more people should do this now days. I also had another stage name called Mateus, this means God is present, as I am a religious person, although I went against this name as I feel Manson suits me best and is a name that’s more memorable and catchy”.

How did you become a rock star? At what age did you realise
rock music was your passion as well as your profession in life?
“I had known ever since I had been young that I wanted to sing in life, but it was only at the age of 15 when I was kicked out of my foster home for being called a Goth and an Emo, that I realised instead of living up to these stereotypes I wanted to prove everyone one. From then on I started busking in towns and mainly underground at the tube stations, I used to sleep there and the staff there used to give me a free meal every day”.

How did you work your way up to where you are now?
“After my busking phase I made a CD record, not thinking anything would come of it I got many copies made and then handed it into various record companies in London and then I got a phone call one day and I went up to the Liverpool Headquarter studios and produced my first ever record and signed my first contract. It was the best day of my life”.

How does it feel to be such an iconic rock star?
“It feels awesome! It’s something that I dreamed of when I was a young boy and now it has finally came true. Hard work always pays off, and so does determination, and it is only because of that, that I am where I am today. I hope to inspire many people out there who was like me, to not give up on your dreams, as anything is possible”.

Thank you Manson, do you have any advice for your fans out
there?
“Only that you should never give up, and use all negativity and criticism as ambition to succeed. Believe in yourself even if no one else does”.

Finally, what is next in the future for Manson?
“I go on tour in April across the country and I hope to go international and take to America next year, but for now I’m devoted to making music in my home town and I’m loving every minute of it”.
