Interviews: Reaven

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the  Rock/Electronic band, Reaven, from France. Check out the interview and follow the band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that? 

Oh, it took a while to find it!! Reaven is a mix of the French word “rêve” (dream) and the English word “heaven” (a place where most musicians go when they play music I guess (laughs) ). After writing almost 1000 names on the paper, we found it.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

We always loved pop/rock music. We’ve been growing with it, so it came quite naturally to play this kind of music!

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

I know Vince (the drummer of the band) for 20 years, it’s a long story of love ahah. For the other band members, it’s more recent.

4. Each band member favorite band? 

For me (Romeo, lead singer & guitarist) it will be The Beatles. For Vince, it is U2. For Rudy & François, difficult to choose one!

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

I can be inspired by almost everything. Feelings, observations about our society, our world. Emotions in general, memories, thoughts about the future. People are also an inspiration to me, nature as well. 

6. Where was your last gig?

Our last gig was in Luxembourg at the Rock Un Der Atert Festival

7. Where would you like to perform?

In the USA, and it was supposed to be our first tour there for the summer 2020, but it is obviously postponed for 2021.

8. Whom would you like to perform with?

A lot of people ahah from Paul Mc Cartney to Bono, also Chris Martin etc…

9. Whom not? 

A lot of people too? ahah No for real, it’s hard to say cause there are so many talented people out there!

10. Any of you has ever suffered from stage fright? Any tip for beginners on how to beat that?

We always feel stress before going on stage. This is the same stress that we use and transform into energy. But, some tips could be to take 5-10 minutes in a very quiet place. Just the band members, no one else. Breathing slowly, warm up, and laugh all together.

11. What bands have inspired you the most?

The Beatles, U2, Placebo, Kings of Leon, Coldplay… all the Woodstock period as well…

12. What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for?

To sign her entire body!! ahah We were playing in a German festival and a Reaven’s fan girl asked us at the end of the show to sign all her back, then she stayed half-naked so everyone was able to see the autographs hah!

13. What do you think of your fans? 

We have super cool fans! I mean, very supportive, nice and kind. What’s funny is the difference of ages they have. It can be a teenage person or a grandma hah!

14. What do you think of our site? 

A very good one and well detailed about the artists you talk about!! Good job guys!!

15. Something to add? 

Yes, we hope you’re all fine out there during this crazy time we’re going through. We hope as well to meet you at one of our shows! And also feel free to support us by following us on social medias here to keep in touch:
