When will you
release a new single?
Oh, I dont know. Theres nothing planned at this moment. Im definitely
sure that there will be a new album before the next tour but single
market in the world has changed completely. So I dont know if there
will be any single release as you call it single in a future. Maybe
its download or I dont know.
How do you remain so
down to earth since you are big star and very popular?
Thats not as difficult as it looks like. I have a family, I have two
kids and I have a lot of friends around me. Actually its quite easy. I
was never looking for things like big car or golden rings or whatever.
It was never something important to me. So maybe thats the key.
How will you help all needy children of this world?
We cant help everyone. The world is too big for that. We can only
contribute a little bit of our help as we do it |
with UNO World Food Program. Ive
concentrated my attention mostly on Africa namely on Ethiopia. Now I
understand that our duty is to donate as much money as possible for this
project and help people directly in Ethiopia.
Whats the biggest unrealizable dream
of your life?
I have a professional dream. I want to perform in Teheran, the capital
of Iran. Ive never been to this country as western artist because its
political situation prohibits this. We got a lot of invitations from the
fans of this country. Western music isnt welcomed in Iran. Fans
secretly communicate with us. It will be perfect if one day we perform
there.
Is it true that in 2012 you will finish your concert performances?
Its never-ending question. Till 2012 I will perform on a stage! After
that I cant promise anything. You do know Im not that person who
doesnt keep his word. Yes, I can declare now that I will perform till
2020. But will it be the truth? I guarantee that till 2012 you will see
us again. But what will happen then nobody knows.
How do you find potential of Internet? Is it success or danger?
Internet is amazing thing. With its help we can fast bring to our
listener our music. It was impossible before. On the other hand Internet
either good or evil. Many illegally download music from Internet.
Because of this artists cant live like before. On the one hand music
very easy spreads via Internet. On the other had there are less people
who pay for it. For example people are ready to pay for the ring tone of
squirrel that breaks wind for 3 Euros. But they dont want to pay 99
cent for one song. I dont understand that. But I hope my fans are
honest people. Download music only from legal recourses.
What would you change in your life looking back?
There are few nuances which I hardly remember. Much time went away. But
in the main I wouldnt change anything neither in musical life nor in
private life.
Can BoBo imagine himself performing in USA?
Of course he can imagine himself performing in USA especially when
Chihuahua was used as a soundtrack to Hollywood cartoon. Generally he
hopes that one day he will perform in USA.
Is it possible to invite you for private performance?
If you have a birthday or classmates meeting and you want to invite me
for private performance you will need a very tight-filled purse and a
huge heart. Donate your money for World Food Program and I will be in
your order and even celebrate your event.
When will you release your next CD?
In a few days my new DVD Vampires Alive Show will be released. And you
will get live audio CD with song from the show as a present.
You have so much energy after two-hour show to communicate with your
fans and sign autographs for them. Where do you take your energy from?
Its a very good question. At the first part of my tourney I hardly
signed autographs. Its all because of the problems with my voice. I
like to communicate with my fans after the concerts. Its very important
for me. But at the first days of the tourney I became hoarse. If I was
outside too long I would lose my voice. It would lead to cancellation of
our concerts. This decision was very hard for me. It seemed like I dont
want to sign autographs. On the next tour we will have two-day breaks
for me to have some rest.
Rumors have it DJ BoBo will have the last tour in 2012. Is it true?
This question is asked to me very often. I cant answer it because I
dont know the answer. Maybe 2012 will be the last. I would love to
perform till Ill be 85. It depends on your wish to see us. But till
2012 Ill be busy, that is true!
Your shows are perfectly directed stories. When will we get a musical
from you?
Yeah, we also ask ourselves about it. Do we want to make a musical? We
started thinking of idea of the musical. On the one hand its very
interesting. Musical makes me write a story in my songs. On the other
hand I think its too early to jump to conclusions. When the time comes
I will be ready for this mentally. There is an idea to make a musical
but musical is also economical expense so we cant make it without the
investors.
When will you ever release a CD in the eurodance style again? We
would love to see the king of eurodance back on stage.
The king is here! Im joking. The happy part of it is the king of eurodance as you all were calling me is still on the dance floor. And we
are still able to play fantastic shows that we have. The pity is that eurodance as a music style is only known right now in these days by a
few people. I think on every album there is one or two eurodance tracks.
But lets see what the future brings. I guess in 2012 at the twenty
years of DJ BoBo celebration it would be a fantastic time to make a
revival with some friend maybe from the 90s, to do some remixes with
the sounds of these days.
Have you ever thought to release a CD with your greatest hits in
unplugged version?
Why not? Yes, of course. There was a songwriter who wrote some songs
with us. His name is Noise Katzmann. He wrote also Mr. Vain or More
And More for Captain Hollywood and Culture Beat. And he contacted me
several times and said: You should do your songs unplugged because
theyre so great as songs. So unplugged can be a possibility but it
could be also a possibility to do something with the classical
orchestra. So there are a lot of open possibilities for the future. |
