VERTIGO

Joseph, you sang on two Toto albums. Could you tell us about this experience?
Joseph Willians:
It was the best of times....It was the worst of times. I love those records. The best work (as a singer) that I have ever done. The "Fahrenheit Tour" holds some of my most precious memories!

What did you do after you left Toto?
I wrote songs, I made solo albums, I got married, I had two children, I became a film and t.v. composer, and I got older!

Is Vertigo Joseph Williams' project or is it a real band?
If it's a big hit than It's a true Group. JUST KIDDING!!!! It started as a project album but maybe it will become a more regular thing!

Great songwriters wrote songs. How did this operation was carried on?
We listend to a bunch of songs from outside writers and picked the ones that worked best for me!

In the USA, the nu-metal is successful. In Europe, it's rather heavy metal. Do you think there's still an audience for FM rock?
Lets Hope So!

Your label, Frontiers Records, works with a lot of US bands (Harem Scarem, Ramos, Vertigo, ...). Why is there such an interest for bands from your country?
I would like to think it's because we do good work and create music that people want to listen to!

Let's imagine that I don't know at all your musical style. What would you tell me to make me buy your album?
If you like TOTO , Aerosmith, Whitsnake and Bands like these from the late 80's early 90's than this might be a record you will enjoy! It's full of pounding melodic hard rock songs played with alot of edge and sung straight from the Balls!

One last word for the readers of this interview:
I hope these answers help your readers, viewers, listeners, WHATEVER, to get a glimpse of the of the
Vertigo Project!
I hope you like it! Take Care and I hope to be in a stadium near you soon!
