Interview: Kore Rozzik

New York Rockers, Kore Rozzik, are aware of the reality of the music industry and are navigating it from a place of ensuring that their truth is at the forefront. Having recently released their new album, ‘Vengeance Overdrive’, I caught up with the gang to discuss responsibility as an artist, being your own worst critic as an artist, social media being a tool they haven’t fully learned how to crack and more.

Congrats on the release of ‘Vengeance Overdrive’. Tell us about the creative and recording process and what you learned along the way.

I really wanted to create a fun interesting story. Make Kore an iconic figure with a story and a goal in mind. A big motivation for the record was the fact that I had experienced so much prejudice and judgement from the local scene. I truly had a lot of hardships and the art truly imitates life. Vengeance is a record based in NYC and Kore’s desire to not just become a successful musician but to silence the haters and in some cases literally. It’s a fantasy horror story in many ways. The songs slowly started to organically create the vision that I had. I learned that sometimes the songs will show you the way and can further inspire more songs. Especially once you know that you are doing a concept album. The recording process was pretty smooth with our team. They knew how to showcase our talents and bring life to what we wanted to display.

If you could sit down with your younger self and give him one small dose of advice, what would you say to him?

Save your money because you’re gonna need it. Half of the stuff you are worried about right now won’t matter in a few years.

Showcasing the human in you, what is a challenging thought that you recently had and were able to overcome over time?

I think as artists we are our own worst critics. Doubt is constantly coming into our minds. We can be our own worst enemy. But you have to see this is a blessing. Even though at times it is a curse. We have the ability to create and inspire. Experience things in a way most other people won’t or could ever understand. Being in a rock band big or small is a unique thing.

What is your perception on the digital world that we live in and social media culture?

I think that in a way it’s a great tool but it is still a code I haven’t fully learn to crack. I think sadly a lot of quality music is lost in the shuffle due to over saturation online. Many things are cherry picked to the top of the line.

No career path or amount of followers negates the fact that you are a human being that has feelings. Tell us about some parts of you beyond being a musician that you take pride in.

I take pride in the fact that I’m a very gray person. Open-minded. We are all influenced at times but I see things in my own way. I can see through the media and political agendas. At Least I think I do. I just don’t let certain things affect me the way I see others. EIther people swayed so extremely or just feeling so strongly about something in an anger driven way.

As you are exposed to tons of stimulus, how do you proactively take care of your mental and emotional health when you’re out on the road?

I do my best to get sleep. Many bands don’t do hotels at our level for cost purposes. I however need the rest. It’s the only way to maintain my voice and my sanity. I also bring on the road what I call my “medicine bag”. It contains many vitamins and supplements for immunity and anxiety. I do my best to socialize with fans that are positive and loving. Have a few shots of crown to take the edge off but within reason.

Life in New York must be so creatively inspiring. Tell us about your experience in NYC and how it has enhanced your artistry.

NYC has been a mixed bag for me honestly. Hence the moniker” The bastard child of NYC”. I think it motivated me to be the person I am today. Fueled by frustration and competition. I never felt truly supported by my peers. But I think that drove me to be harder and stronger. That’s why the first record is so aggressive. I had to prove a point and surpass many others that doubted me. What NYC has taught me the most is this: Be aggressive, hustle but be humble. If you do that then people outside your circle will like you and want to help you. I think that’s something that a lot of NYC lacks.

Speaking of touring, any current or upcoming tour plans that you can fill us in about?

Right now we are working on booking some of our headlining tours and also looking out for some solid supporting slots as well. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Last but certainly not least, any closing messages for your fans?!

Keep spreading the word for us. It means more than dollars. YouTube, Spotify, Facebook,  Instagram; everywhere and anywhere. Thank you to everyone that has done the right thing in 2018. Kore Locos are the best. See you next year! Don’t be a bozo.

Also, not many casinos allow for this method of casino deposits. Nevertheless, we just wanted to show you that paying via SMS is also a viable option if you opt for Pay by Phone deposits. Pay by Phone Casinos has picked up in its popularity in the recent years. This method of depositing and withdrawing gained popularity for various reasons.

Thanks a lot for the helpful content. It is also my opinion that mesothelioma cancer has an really long latency time, which means that signs and symptoms of the disease may well not emerge till 30 to 50 years after the preliminary exposure to mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma, that is the most common variety and is affecting the area across the lungs, might result in shortness of breath, breasts pains, including a persistent cough, which may bring on coughing up blood vessels.

Thanks for helping me to gain new suggestions about computers. I also have belief that certain of the best ways to help keep your laptop in leading condition is with a hard plastic material case, or shell, that will fit over the top of one’s computer. These kinds of protective gear are model specific since they are made to fit perfectly within the natural covering. You can buy these directly from owner, or from third party sources if they are available for your notebook computer, however only a few laptop could have a cover on the market. Yet again, thanks for your guidelines.

I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It?s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.

I figured out more interesting things on this weight loss issue. One issue is that good nutrition is extremely vital when dieting. A big reduction in junk food, sugary meals, fried foods, sweet foods, beef, and bright flour products may be necessary. Possessing wastes parasitic organisms, and harmful toxins may prevent objectives for losing fat. While certain drugs momentarily solve the problem, the unpleasant side effects are usually not worth it, and they also never offer more than a short lived solution. It can be a known fact that 95 of fad diet plans fail. Many thanks for sharing your opinions on this web site.

Thanks for the tips you are discussing on this blog. Another thing I want to say is that often getting hold of some copies of your credit profile in order to examine accuracy of each and every detail would be the first motion you have to accomplish in credit improvement. You are looking to clean up your credit report from detrimental details flaws that spoil your credit score.

Interesting article. It is rather unfortunate that over the last 10 years, the travel industry has had to take on terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, influenza, swine flu, and the first ever true global economic downturn. Through all of it the industry has really proven to be solid, resilient along with dynamic, obtaining new methods to deal with adversity. There are continually fresh issues and the opportunity to which the market must once more adapt and act in response.

Throughout the great design of things you receive a B- just for hard work. Where you lost me personally ended up being in all the details. As it is said, details make or break the argument.. And it couldn’t be more accurate here. Having said that, let me tell you just what did deliver the results. The text is incredibly powerful and this is most likely why I am making the effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, despite the fact that I can certainly notice a jumps in reasoning you make, I am not really convinced of just how you seem to connect the details which produce your final result. For right now I will, no doubt subscribe to your point but trust in the foreseeable future you actually link your facts better.
