ARTS & ENTERTAINMENTDid you feelthe QUAKE?day so it would be another way for meto tell stories.DKP: What do you think people seewhen they irst see you? What willthey miss if they just go by irst impressions?QJ: Most people usually just see myheight! I am 6 foot 3 so most peoplethink that is pretty cool. Me, I think it’sjust an easier way to stick out incrowds. If they just go by irst impression,they are missing out on my kindheart. Like I said before, I love helpingpeople and I dislike seeing people cryso I will do what ever I can to makethem smile.An interview with Ojibweusician Justin Quake JonesINTERVIEW By DAWN KARIMA PETTIGREWONE FEATHER CONTRIBUTORDKP: What’s the irst and most importantthing you want us to knowabout you? What should I think ofwhen I think about you?QJ: The most important thing i’d likefor everybody to know is that I wouldNEVER do music for money, greed, oranything of that nature. I do music forthe love of the art. Music is who I amand it will forever continue to be who Iam. The money that comes with themusic would be to support my familyand to make sure they live a comfortablelife. I could never do music for anyother reason.DKP: With an awesome name likeyours, there should be a good storybehind it. Can we hear it?QJ: Through out my career I have beenthrough a lot of names trying to ind theone that stuck with me most. Quake isactually short for my native name I wasgiven, which is ‘Quakegabo’. I am veryproud of my heritage. Which I am halfNative American (Mille Lacs Band ofOjibway) and Caucasian. Plus when Ithink of Quake I think of strength whichI try my very best every day to haveplenty of, which I think everybodyshould try to have to survive in thisworld.DKP: So, how did you start makingmusic? Did you have a musical childhood?Who inluences you musically?QJ: I can honestly say that music hasbeen apart of my life, even when I wasjust a bun in the oven. My mom told methat one day she went to a Powwowwhile she was still pregnant with meand when the she was sitting by thedrums, they would be playing and whenthey were, I was moving all around herstomach. When the drums stopped, asdid I. The elder ladies leaned over to mymother and said, “Yup, that is deiantlyan Indian baby in there!”. Another time,after I was born she was at anotherPowwow and while she was cradlingme in her arms, I was a sleep. Again shewas standing by the drums and whenthey started playing, my hand wouldmove along with the beat of the drums.My inluences in music are anybodywho has the strength to make a differencein the world no matter whatgenre. I love oldies such as The Temptations,Smokey Robinson, and RayCharles. Michael Jackson is deiantly ahuge inspiration to me as he his tomany other artists. It’s not only themusic they make, but the differencethey make in the world. Not many peopleknow that Michael Jackson spent alot of time at Children’s Hospitals whohad cancer or were very sick and hewould just hang out with them andlearn their story. I am also a huge fan ofLitefoot. He has done a lot for NativeAmericans and I would love to followhis work! I am a huge fan of people whodo that and I hope to some day do thatmyself when my musics gets to a moreknown level.DKP: Why Hip-Hop? Is that a newnew form of Native traditionalmusic?QJ: I chose Hip-hop because I ind iteasier to tell stories. I love stories.Whether they are about love, action,power, any kind of story I love hearing. Ibelieve you can also tell stories throughsinging but growing up I never felt Iwas the best singer so I had to ind away I could tell stories through musicand one day I said, “Let’s give this hiphopthing a try!”. As for it being a newform of Native traditional music, I can’treally say for sure. I’m sure it could ifthe Natives who do hip-hop rap abouttradition and keep with it like the traditionalsongs I grew up hearing. It is de-iantly a new form to reach out topeople though! One of my other goals isto help Natives ind a way to expressthe way they live in the future.DKP: Why do you think Hip-hop hascaught ire in NDN Country?QJ: I think probably the same reasonwhy Hip-hop caught everywhere else inthe world, it’s catchy and fun to listento. We all like different kinds of musicand everybody has a reason why theylike a certain kind of music. Peoplecould listen to music just to have somethingto dance to or like most peoplethey could listen to because it is a verystrong medicine. We all have problemswe go through in life, music just helpsus as humans to cope with it.DKP: What do you hope folks willfeel or ind when they listen to yourtracks?QJ: I hope they feel the hard work andlove I put into my songs. I love makingpeople feel good and I hope my musiccan help them with that feeling.DKP: Do you have particular songsthat have special meaning to you andfor you? Tell us about some of those?QJ: All my songs have meaning to mebecause it is my work of art that I absolutelylove doing with a passion. If Iwere to pick any song that meant mostto me, it would probably have to be asong called “Surviving The Times”. Thebeat is from Nas’ song called “Survivingthe Times” and I loved how he talkedabout the beginning of his rap career. Iwanted to do something of that naturebut in mine I talk about my childhoodand what I have planned for my future.I mention my childhood friends and Imention my family. Family is very importantto me so I deiantly had to writeabout them.“I do musicfor the love ofthe art. Musicis who I amand it willforevercontinue tobe who I am.”- Mille Lacs Ojibwe hip-hop artistJustin Quake JonesDKP: Do you receive your songs fullyformed? Or do you labor over eachline?QJ: I put A LOT of hard work in mysongs. I’m a perfectionist when it comesto music so everything has to be perfect.I kind of wish I was like how I amwith music during school because Ithink I would of been a straight A studentthen.DKP: Music is a powerful force. Whydo you think people should listen toyours?QJ: I feel like we all need to listen tonew artists then what we always hereon the radio. Sure, some of the musicthey play on the radio can be reallygreat songs, but me personally, I like tochange it up sometimes and broadenmy horizons in my musical listeningchoice. Most stuff on the radio now adays talk about money, girls, and drugs.I feel we as a people need to get past ofall that and go back to music that ismeant to move your soul, not just yourbooty.DKP: Who are you away from thestudio? What ills your time, yourdreams, your days besides music?QJ: Away from the studio I am a fatherof a son named Carter James. I am just asimple guy who loves to play basketballand hang out with friends and laugh. Ilove watching movies. Another one ofmy goals is to become an actor some-ARTS & ENTERTAINMENTDKP: Okay, then what do you thinklisteners hear when they irst hearyour music? What will they miss ifthey don’t take a second listen?QJ: I’m not sure to be honest. We allhave different tastes in music. Lately,people who have heard my music likewhat they are listening to, but honestlyI hope they take a second listen just toHEAR what I have to say.DKP: Well, I’m sure you have readers’interest now. How can they ind yourmusic or connect with you?QJ: Through the internet of course!Youtube, Facebook, and I just got ontoReverbation.com. All they got to do isjust search Quake Jones and they willsee me!DKP: What do you wish we knewabout you and about your musicright now that we don’t? Tell us,please.QJ: I just hope everybody will take meserious. Most people think I do this justto do it for fun or whatever else peopledo music for. Me, I do it for the love ofthe art. I do it to try and make a difference.I do it to make people dance. I doit because music is who I am. I will continueto follow my dream until themusic stops. The Music will NEVERstop.DKP: Thank you so much for sharingwith us. We look forward to muchmusic from you.Dr. Honey Dawn Karima Pettigrew isa NAMMY-nominated recording artist,an award winning ilmmaker and theauthor of two novels, The Way WeMake Sense and The Marriage ofSaints.
