Exclusive Interview: Füzzed Kaiser Delves on His Creative Tastes, His Inspirations & New Single “Enhanced Life”

Sheer genius is demonstrated by the fascinating versatile music producer Fuzzed Kaiser in his new single “Enhanced Life.” The impeccable artist’s tracks are creatively entertaining and captivate the audience with an immersive and catchy vibe.

We’re lucky enough to have sneaked in for an interview with a talented artist. He was generous enough to lend some of his precious moments as we gleefully stumbled deep into his personal and professional life. Here are some excerpts from the interview:

It’s an honor to speak with you today. Why don’t you give us some details about you and your story. How did you get to where you are today?

Thanks! I grew up surrounded by music. The radio was always playing in the house or in the car. My parents love 80s music and I often heard Duran Duran, Level 42 and other 80s hits being played in car journeys as a kid. Like many others, I also grew up listening to The Beatles. As a teen I started playing guitar and taking music a little more seriously as my music taste expanded as I got older. I’ve always been quite a creative person, whilst I didn’t pursue music during my education at school, I was heavily into photography from a young age and eventually, I ended up going to university and studied for a degree in photography. I think that my creativity in photography also influences my creativity in my music. Further down the line I eventually purchased my first synthesizer and drum machine after my brother bought a Korg Monologue. That’s when I came up with the name Füzzed Kaiser and that was my beginning in electronic music.

Congratulations on your latest track “Enhanced Life”, how do you feel about the newfound success?

Thank you, over the past year with the lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve spent a lot of time just exploring sounds with the synths in the studio. With tracks like Enhanced Life I wanted to experiment with creating wide soundscapes that Contrasted against the rather early 90s sounding drums in the track. The melody in the track is reminiscent of synthwave. I think there is a lot more potential in experimenting with creating sounds and trying out new ideas which is likely going to translate across into my music in the future.

How would you describe your sound to someone who just listened to your music for the first time?

I think that my sound is quite unique in the sense that I traditionally stick to a chord progression to structure each track with the synths, much like songs from the 80s tended to do. Then I tend to layer more experimental sounds on top that are inspired from genres like synthwave, electronic, EDM and even rock n roll to a certain extent. If I hear a sound or a riff I like, I’ll often take note of it and then experiment in the studio with them and build a track around that. I’m not strict on sticking to any particular genre at the moment and will just see where the music takes me. Quite a lot of music that I listen to influences my own music and often that will translate into a current track that I might be working on.

Who has been the earliest influence who inspired you to take the plunge in the music scene?

As I said earlier,I grew up surrounded by music growing up. When I started playing guitar in my teens, I loved Oasis and I wanted to be in a rock n roll band ever since hearing their songs. I started a band in my late teens but it didn’t work out. Eventually I got into synths and the amazing sounds that could be created with them. I loved the idea of endless possibilities and creating sounds that people have never heard before. Plenty of other artists inspired me to get into the music scene such as The Beatles, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, a-ha, The Human League, Bryan Adams, Pulp and many more.

What goals have you accomplished? What goals are you still working towards?

I don’t normally set goals and prefer just to see where the music takes me. I’m all about experimenting with instruments and sounds to create new music that people might not have heard anything similar to before.

Can we expect any upcoming projects soon? Please shed some light upon it.

I’ve got some new tracks that are scheduled to be released, so stay tuned for that. I’m also going to be starting my first LP soon, so there is that to look forward to at a later date this year. I’ve also been expanding my synth collection and I’m sure you’ll hear some of the sounds I discover in upcoming tracks.

Thank you for speaking with us! For our final question, is there anything else you would like to add?

Thanks for the interview and I hope to be back soon!
