Interview with The Spin Room

Nick Miley, a.k.a. The Spin Room, went from giving his music away for free to hitting it big after releasing his debut EP The Dream We Keep and his songs being featured on shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians and The View. After two exciting years of making music and doing shows, I've gotten the chance to ask Nick about his success, what's up next for him and the words, or thing, he lives by.

How would you describe your music?
I would describe myself as an emotional pop/punk artist that writes songs about how much he loves his girlfriend.

What’s your favorite song to perform?
You'll never know. Just kidding, its one thats on the next EP that comes out in 2012, its called "Capture Your Smile."

Your songs have been featured on many television shows, what is that like?
It's a spiritual experience, it finally made me feel like the real deal. But I'm keeping it modest.

What’s been the most exciting moment for you in the last 2 years?
A bunch of things. The reaction I get from the fans. Like they started to really support me this year buy picking up my music on iTunes; in fact I sell more music while giving it away for free. Making friends with Zach, the East Coast Editor-In-Chief at www.purevolume.com who has been one of my biggest supporters hooking me up with features. My Publisher who has placed my music on over 9 TV shows this year. Being asked to to have my music featured on a serious video game including the game trailer. But the most exciting moment of the last two years is when I moved in with my girlfriend, Danielle, and we decided we want to get married.

What would you say was your first lucky break?
When I worked with producer Rob Freeman (Gym Class Heros, Hit The Lights, Cobra Starship, and Armor for Sleep) known for his exploits in one of my favorite bands of all time Hidden in Plain View and drummer Nash Breen from the band formerly known as "Armor For Sleep" and made my latest EP The Dreams We Keep.

What are some words you live by?
I don't live by words, I go where my heart takes me.

Any advice to future performers?
Don't pass up a good thing.

What’s in the works for you?
A new record in early 2012 called Forever & Ever & Ever After.
