An Interview with Amin [Generation 69]

How were you first inspired to get involved in music?

There was no real inspiration. I just wanted to be part of a band.

What prompted you to be judge?

I am a technical/sound person. So I guess I wanted to share my views and experience in that as a judge. Usually judges might lookout for showmanship and appearances, but I'd like to look at technicalities such as guitar sound, intonation, vocal techniques, drum techniques, song arrangement, gear setup etc.

What are you looking out for in this year’s competition?

I'm looking out for new sounds, for artists to showcase their talents and capabilities.

Who are your top 3 artists?

Right now, my playlist would be West Grand Boulevard, Nothing and Jimmy Cliff.
