feature interview [ireland]<br />
Cathal McGinley AKA Kathel, born 1989, from Buncrana Co. Donegal. He writes lyrics and over the last year he has created<br />
interesting and engaging melodies that have caught the attention of many listeners. His lyrics are insightful and evocative and<br />
have gained him some life-long fans.<br />
Kathel has unwavering passion about bringing music to life as an EDM track. Working with session singers, and then producing<br />
EDM pop style is what gives him excitement and motivates him the most.<br />
Last year he started developing an interest in EDM music production and so merged all the songs he wrote and started<br />
developing them into tracks. Since releasing a few tracks has had a lot of positive feedback from other DJ’s and producers, and<br />
getting noticed reaching towards the top in the Spinnin' records talent pool charts and contests.<br />
<strong>Zone</strong>'s <strong>Paul</strong> Newhouse has a chat with this seemingly positive up-comming DJ & Producer from the Green Isle!<br />
Tell us how you got into music, and then<br />
EDM?<br />
Tell us about your writing, what styles you<br />
do and what you have done?<br />
started at the time with listening to a lot of<br />
Damien rice.<br />
There was a friend of the family who was a DJ<br />
I would watch playing. I also started working<br />
part time in a night club so from there listening to<br />
people DJ and also watching the film "Its all gone<br />
Pete Tong", I developed a fascination with EDM.<br />
I then bought myself a pair of belt driven<br />
turntables and mixer and from there started<br />
buying and playing records.<br />
When I finished secondary school I did a music<br />
technology & performance course, which started<br />
my interest in guitar as a result I started to selfteach<br />
myself guitar and learning some basic<br />
chords.<br />
Then the moment I started to get the chord<br />
progressions, I just started writing my own songs<br />
to play along with and that’s how it all started<br />
with the songwriting. My song writing influence<br />
Then after a while playing around with the<br />
guitar any thoughts or even what someone would<br />
say would give me inspiration. Lyrics would come<br />
into my head and I would type it in my phone or<br />
write it down on a piece of paper then from there<br />
I just started using songwriting as a creative<br />
output for everything.<br />
