I am also incredibly fortunate to have had a great education both at school and at home.  I think these days artists are expected to have some sort of tortured youth to make their songs valid, this is in no way applicable to me.  I love music, I love writing songs, and I think that should be the end of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When did you pick up music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My whole family is very appreciative of music and the house has always been filled with it.  I had piano lessons from the age of four, but I dropped it when I was 13 as I\u2019ve always struggled to read music and it was getting too frustrating.  I started to teach myself the guitar around that time as I had been learning the bass and drums for a few years and it felt like a very natural progression.  it also seemed like the quickest way to get the song out of my head.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the first song you wrote and how do you feel about it now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There was a particularly cheesy one I wrote on the piano when I was about seven. I think my main influences then were probably the Spice Girls and Britney Spears so I think I can forgive myself for that. My first proper song was on the bass when I was 13 and it was called Pancake Parade, which led my teacher to believe I was taking acid on the sly. It also only really consisted of two chords so it wasn&#8217;t exactly groundbreaking.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>What inspires you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nature influences my lyrics a lot, but that&#8217;s fairly obvious&#8230; Even if the words are very nature-based, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that\u2019s what the song is about though, I think my songs are always fairly open to interpretation. In terms of musical influences I tend to think of them as anyone I&#8217;ve listened to obsessively for a period of time, so people probably don&#8217;t make connections when I say that Led Zeppelin or Steely Dan are an influence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There&#8217;s a lot of folk singer-songwriters around, how do you think you stand out from the crowd?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really like to think of myself as a &#8216;folk&#8217; singer-songwriter.  I think &#8216;folk&#8217; is a blanket term that is being used for anyone with an acoustic guitar and a slightly unusual voice these days. My songs have a darkness about them which is coupled with a slight eccentricity.  I like to think that these elements of my song writing set me apart. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s next for you in 2012?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My debut single is being released next month, and then I\u2019ll be back in the studio working on an EP for later this year.  I&#8217;ve also got a slot supporting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.benjaminfrancisleftwich.com\">Benjamin Francis Leftwich<\/a> on his UK and Ireland tour in October, which is going to be incredible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/marika-hackman\">soundcloud.com\/marika-hackman<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Words: Zing Tsjeng<br \/>\nImages: Owen Richards<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wonderland premieres the new video from rising Nico-esque songstress Marika Hackman.
