LA one day - Introducing John Talabot LA one day - Introducing John Talabot

We love El Oeste - how did you come up with such a perfectly moving track?

It was part of another idea completely focused on the dance floor. I wanted to do something different for the album and I really liked that melody.

What inspired the album?

It's really about my personal taste. I wanted to make something that I could listen to with my friends or they could enjoy whilst working.

What's the furthest you've travelled?

Australia. It's the furthest away from Barcelona you can get and it has strange animals that we don't have here like koalas and kangaroos!

What's your guilty pleasure?

It's got to be Italo Disco which is cheesy '80s disco music.

What song makes you dance, no matter where you are?

Epansives - Life With You (It's an Italo Disco track...)

Who would play you in the film of your life?

Peter Falk who played Columbo. It would be funny see him as a DJ spinning records.

What can't you live without?

Music, my brother and my sister.

What's the best feeling in the world?

Coming home after travelling for weeks, texting all my friends and meeting up and spending time together. There is nothing better.

How did you get started making music?

My friend gave me a computer programme. I've been trying since I was about 17 but never dreamed of having an album people would like!

What's been your proudest moment to date?

Releasing an album is probably my proudest achievement in music. It's the biggest thing you can do in music, you don't know if people are going to love it or hate it.

Tell us a joke...

A man rings the intercom of a building:
- Yes?
The man looks side to side and says:
- There's no snow in St Moritz.
The man on the intercom answers:
- The spy lives on the 5th floor you jerk.

Now tell us a secret...

I didn't really make the album.

Can you tell us who did?

I can't tell you. Only one secret per interview!

Whatch Now
