One of your most known Songs is "Save the Queen" which was released during your earlier career. Could you remember your Inspiration for that Song and also the Video?

Garek: "Save the Queen" is actually about a chess game. Sometimes, when i'm writing a Song, i'll get an idea, concept or even a title and just go from there. In this case, I wanted to write a Song about a chess game because chess is like the real life, riddled with strategy, manipulation and power.
I wanted the video to be regal, but also a little gritty, with a choreography, representing the two sides of chess - the white and the black army - so there had to be some uniformity of movement.

Your music videos have all a story behind. What's the inspiration?

Garek: Every Song is telling a story and i'd like to translate that into a visuell Story as well. Sometimes the video deals directly with the Song content and sometimes it's more in a indirectly way.

Your music is a kind of catchy Industrial Pop/Rock Sound. Are there any idols or artists you'll get be inspired?

Garek: Well i love Marilyn Manson. He's a hero of mine. But also anything from the 90s like Industrial, Alternative and even some of the Pop. That being said, i also like Alanis Morisette, Garbage and No Doubt.

In 2014 your first EP "Take the King Vol.1" was released, which hit up with your third Single "Cavity", are there other plans right now for a new release? Are you're working on New music stuff?

Garek: I'm always working on New stuff. Actually i've finished about 10 songs, enough for an Album, but i'm waiting to build up a larger fan base to release an Album. For now it's going to be one release at a time, so i can give each song the proper attention it deserves. Instead of releasing an album and half of the songs getting swept under the rug. Currently i'm working on a few remixes of "Save the Queen" so we can get that Song in different Clubs worldwide.

What does it mean to you, when people like your music?

Garek: It means that they have exquisite taste in music.

One of the most important things for an musician is to play live in Front of a crowd, you'd already live shows yet. Is there something more in work?

Garek: I love playing live. That’s one of my immediate goals- to be touring. I’d love to play a new city every night, sharing the performance with a new batch of complete strangers daily.
After the "Save the Queen Remixes" i'll go live, probably try and coordinate a club tour to bring the "Queen" live.

If you could discribe your music, the meaning behind, in which words you'd like to discribe it?

Garek: Honest and fantastical. I like to create a reality, but I also like to address my own reality. Sometimes I do one more than the other, but the best stuff comes from being honest with myself and, therefore, with the rest of the world.

You've done a Cover of Katy Perry's song "E.T" which is known all over the world, was it a hard work to create your own industrial version of it?

Garek: No. I like the original version of the song, but the lyrics are so much darker than the music. I wanted to give the music a bit of a fucked up makeover to match the ominous lyrics.

Your latest releases in social Media are "My animal" and "Sex and candy", could you say your next upcoming Song or any Details?

Garek: My next upcoming song will be the Remixes of Save the Queen.

You've also worked with in the music video for "Pleasant Nightmare" of "Danny Blu", could you believe in a collaboration with another artist?

Garek: I love working with other artists, if I respect them. There’s something very refreshing about working with other people who are inspiring and brave. I don’t have a particular collaboration death wish in mind, but I’ll keep my eyes open.
Working with Danny is always fun. For "Pleasant Nightmare" we spent all afternoon, on beautiful summer day, in a dusty basement in our underwear, par for the course.
