Thank

Hello!
¿How are you Margarita?
Hi! I'm doing great, thank you very
much for having me!
¿Who
is Margarita Monet?
I'm the singer/songwriter of Edge Of
Paradise, we formed in 2011. I'm also a classical pianist and play keyboards on
our songs :)
¿How
was your training musically and vocal?
I grew up in Moscow, Russia and started
playing piano very young. Music schools over there are very serious, we had
singing and I started performing at a very early age, so music was always my
life, I danced ballet as well, so my days were full. When we moved to the US, i
continued to play the piano and did a lot of concerts and competitions, and
then i went on to do musical theater in high school and college. I never sang
in a metal band till this one, so it was quiet different at first, but very
exciting!
¿Which
are your influences in the Rock and Metal?
Ronnie James Dio is one of my biggest
influences, also Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Queen, Led Zeppelin. All those
bands created their own sound, so that is what we're all about, creating our
own sound that can withstand the test of time!
¿What
do you like to do in your time free?
I don't have mush of free time lately,
I always work on new music, I read, I love movies!
¿What
are your favorite bands within and out of Metal?
Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Led
Zeppelin, Queen, i like Marilyn Manson if I'm in the mood :)
¿Do
you write some songs in your band?
Yes I do, but it's always a group
effort. Every song is different, sometimes i come up with it on the keyboard
and Dave, our guitarist comes in and puts guitars and we arrange it and take it
to the rest of the band John Chominsky and Nick Ericson to evolve the song.
Sometimes it starts with Dave's riff and I write the melodies and lyrics after,
and then we take it to the rest of the band, we demo it up until it's ready to
be taken into the studio to record!
¿What
goals you have in mind?
To conquer the world :) To keep writing
music and touring, we're still a new band so we have a lot of goals, we want to
play in as man parts of the world as we can, and write lots and lots of new
music! We want to build our world and have everyone join us in Paradise ;)
¿How
you joined to Edge of Paradise band?
Dave and I were hired to work on a song
by a produced out here in Los Angeles. When I met Dave he was looking for a
singer, he had a band called Bleed, fronted by Robin McCauley. Robin had to
leave as he joined Survivor as a front man on their tour and the band kind of
stopped. Dave had a lot of music left over and we had similar goals and worked
great together, so I sang over the songs he had, we released it as our debut CD
Mask and that's how Edge Of Paradise was born :)
¿How
would you best describe the sound of the Edge of Paradise band in this moment?
Our sound is aggressive but very
melodic, with driving rhythms and heavy guitars, you will hear some symphonic
and classical elements, our songs are dynamic, theatrical and will take you on
a roller coaster ride! I hope you're not afraid of a creepy circus cause you'll
hear some of that too :)
Your
álbum, ¿As was the production?
Immortal Waltz is produced by Micahel
Wagener, we were extremely lucky and thrilled to work with him as he is
definitely our idol! So we went to Nashville to Michael's studio and recorded
there. Some of the earlier songs were also recorded with bob Kulick in Los
Angeles. It was awesome to be able to work with amazing people on this album!
¿What
can we expect from Margarita Monet in this 2015?
Lots of touring and new music. We'll
try to get another music video done by the end of the year!
¿What
style do you prefer, Heavy, Symphonic, Pop Rock, Rock or all? And Why?
I like all, as long as it's good! I
listen to a lot of different music, I love heavy metal, classical, symphonic,
pop rock, I don't think i'll ever get into hip hop, that's just not my thing,
but I appreciate all styles!
¿Anything
else you'd like to share my friend with your fans?
Just want to thank everyone for their
support, and I can't wait to meet as many of you as possible at our shows, it's
always great to share the music live with people and have them be a part of our
heavy metal circus :)
Thank
you very much for this super opportunity with you! ¿Any last words what you
want to share?
It's my pleasure, thank you very much
for having me! Please keep in touch and I hope we meet very soon!
Darkzen: Thank you very much!
