AMP is proud to have exciting new talent. This one takes the cake. Remy Adair is a 10-year-old singer/songwriter from Guilford, Connecticut who is definitely causing a stir. She was already an accomplished musician and was endowed with a radiant personality. Kate Gulag and I met Remy As we follow WOW Radio’s Pam Landry and Brian Smith into their studios to write a report for our station. She and her father were both charming and made a lasting impression on both of us. It’s amazing how calm and mature he is Remy Was.
Although Remy Having some laryngitis that day, she didn’t get a chance to sing her song “Empty Seats,” about a fallen firefighter, but she took the interview in stride. Pretty impressive for a kid that age. adair The song was performed at a gala honoring firefighters called “Our Community Heroes.” She performs frequently live, including at Porch Fests. Remy Adair is a musical prodigy who will one day take the world by storm. Take note of our words.
Remy It was an honor to sit down with AMP and have this really cool and interesting conversation.
AMP: Remi, you’re not even close to being a teenager yet you write such beautiful songs. What got you started in music?
Remy: I want to play an instrument. So I tried playing the piano and I fell in love with it the first time I played it. Music is in my blood and I listen to things throughout the day that remind me of music. The birds are singing, the crickets are chirping, and the rain is falling. Sometimes these melodies stay in my head until I play the piano. There is always music playing in my house. They are all different.
AMP: Can you walk us through your songwriting process?
Remy: I usually start with a story. Sometimes it’s happy, sometimes it’s sad, and every once in a while, I don’t know what it is because it happens as I write. I change sentences and words a lot, especially when I start adding music. I would sit down at the piano, write out a few notes, and arrange them into a melody, like a bird singing. Then I would study the verses. But my favorite parts are the chorus and the bridge. The bridge takes the song to a new place and the chorus keeps people listening. I also listen to every song and I usually feel happiest when the chorus comes on.
AMP: Who is your musical hero?
Remy: Some of my musical idols are Hardy, Stephen Wilson Jr, Post Malone and AC/DC.
AMP: How supportive were your parents?
Remy: My parents are very supportive! My mom and dad challenge me to be the best Remy I can. I know that none of this is meant to be perfect, nor is it possible. Music is not like that. My parents supported me, loved me, and allowed me to not worry about how I would perform on the show. I couldn’t do any of this without them. They provide a lot of support. I had a great piano teacher who was as important as rain and I learned a lot. My dream is to play a song with him one day.
One of the things my parents helped me understand was that practice was important. My dad told me that a little plus a little equals a lot, and in the end the hard things will become a little easier. It’s true. The same goes for math, playing football, or anything else that’s difficult.
AMP: What inspired you to write “Empty Seat,” a song about a fallen firefighter?
Remy: One morning, I learned in the car that a firefighter had passed away not far from my hometown. Firefighters work as a team to put out fires, so imagine being back at the fire station with an empty spot in your fire truck. I wrote the idea down on a notepad and put it away. Some time later, I heard that another firefighter had passed away. I think about how dangerous this job is and if you knew you were never going home from get off work, what would you say before you left?
I then added the quote to my notepad and the song went from there. I had this idea of seeing those firemen walking up the stairs to heaven. I realized this idea by using the piano intro to play the notes. It took a while, but I finally figured it out. I’ve played this song at some very special gigs with real heroes hanging on every word, and I’m honored to be a small part of it. This song made many people cry.
Amplifier: Do you get nervous when you sing or play live?
Remy: Sometimes in smaller groups. There are fewer people and less noise, so small mistakes become much bigger. Sometimes it depends on who is looking at me. If my biggest fans are nearby, I really want to do my best for them and sometimes my mind goes into overdrive.
AMP: If you could collaborate with any current artist, who would it be and why?
Remy: It’s as hard as picking my favorite pizza. There are two artists I would like to collaborate with. Mr. Hardy and Steven Wilson Jr. Hardy released two of my favorite songs at the same time and I spent a lot of time singing them. He is an amazing songwriter and cannot be missed! Mr. Stephen Wilson Jr. is what music is all about and he is one of the reasons I practice every day. His talent is the culmination of dreams and hard work, and it’s a path I want to follow.
AMP: Do your friends and classmates treat you any differently now that you are a local celebrity?
Remy: No, not at all. I’m not a celebrity. I’m a pianist, singer, and love writing about the life around me. I’ve been sitting at the piano since I was four years old. I play every day and a lot of my music-related moments are mine. So I didn’t talk about it too much.
AMP: Do you have any other hobbies besides music?
Remy: Yes! I play football, I like fishing, I’m learning the drums, and I like reading. Is pizza considered a hobby?
AMP: Do you want music to be your career?
Remy: Yes! I think the best part about music is how much I don’t know! I want to take some time to figure it out.
AMP: Any final words for your fans?
Remy: If you love something, do it a lot. None of this is easy. Piano and composition are both difficult. But once a song is finished, magic happens. I’ll see you guys soon!
