- 1. One man army + his energy = success This week one special person had the whole music industry shaken. One man army is the name of this brand new artist and the terrific thing he did was HE GOT A PLATINIUM FOR HIS FIRST ALBUM. Yep. You heard that right this person is so talented that he was born to outreach the limits of success. We ‘Dabeat’ magazine are the first to get an interview with this talented artist. Since when did you become interested in singing? I believe the word ‘ interested’ is a bit less for me because I was passionate to sing, my family tells me I’m a good singer I used to be shy to do sing in front of people, but time just took away my fear and gave me energy in return. What are your hobbies apart from singing? Firstly singing is not my hobby it is my obsession. Speaking of my hobbies I like to play football, I like to do draw something around me and I often try to make look exactly the same as in real life. However I was born to sing. Why did you say that? I’m not saying you’re not a good singer but wasn’t there something else you ever thought of becoming one day? Actually I did have thoughts of becoming an astronaut but when I grew up I found out that when you’re in space you are in a space shuttle, and if there is a slight error with the computer that controls the whole thing, then there is pretty much no more hopes for you, basically you’re f****d. And I said that I was born to sing because the studio and the stage are one of the places where I can be myself. To be honest music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music. Your name in music industry is ‘One Man Army’ what is your real name? and how did you get the name ‘One Man Army’ ? Well my real name is Bob Dabilldur. I got this name ‘One man army’ from my dad who encouraged me to go to the music industry and be what I wanted to become, and face any problems that would come in the way of success. After I told him I’m making an album this week. He looked at me and said “I’m proud of you my little soldier. You got where you wanted to be all on your own, so you’re a One Man army.” And that’s how I got the name ‘One Man army’ I know it’s obvious that you feel proud of yourself after achieving a platinum in the first go as a new comer. But can you express what it feels like being at the stage you’re at now? I don’t have any words to describe how it feels like but I’ll give my best shot at it. First of all it feels like you are something to world now and you hold some importance for yourself on the planet. Secondly all the hard work, sweating, and struggles did in fact pay off. I was going to give up when there was a
- 2. slight problem that I knew I couldn’t solve, but then my Dad came and gave the courage boost when I needed it. So I would say that I loved the way I got here more than being here. Who is your favourite idol in the RnB genre? And why? It is definitely without doubt Usher because he has so much creativity in him that he could make a whole description of all the wonders of the world in such a way that you will want to read it again and again. Moreover Usher has got fantastic dancing skills that make him standout from the rest of the artists in the world. His fashion also makes him look apart from the averageness. And I think I know why he uses his fashion in that way, its because he knows that mediocrity these days doesn’t hit the sky anymore so he has to do something different to hit the sky. Do you think that becoming a star is going to affect your lifestyle? No I don’t think so. Becoming a star can change my life but not the lifestyle. Because I think that if I work as hard as I did in the beginning success will still be in my path. Now you might say that the sleeping times can have a big change, but no my sleeping times are never the same so I won’t see them in a pattern. My diet and exercise would remain the same as it is my habit to stay fit. Actually my diet doesn’t stay the same either. What are your likes and dislikes about your career or about anything in general because there are a lot of sexy girls who already got a crush on you and want to know more about. Don’t you want to tell them anything about yourself? To all those sexy girls out there I would only go out with someone near or in my age, that’s the first requirement. With my career I only dislike the difficult people you get in the package deal, they can be so irritating sometimes. What I like about my career is that I get to express my feelings in a appealing to myself and my fans. And for those girls I’d like to say that you better hurry up before I get taken because once I get taken then there’s no chance of you making me cheat on my girlfriend.
