And then I remember one day I made the music then I sat there and sang to it and it felt right, finally. I would just sit here and sing something and I’d say, no, that’s not really it. Like I wanted to have a song called “One of Us” for the longest time. Then, on the other side of it, I start from a really cool idea. I’m always looking for things that I think are interesting. That has just a couple of sounds, a couple of things. I’m always making music – like beats – and that’ll be like a 30 second or minute long clip. And they’re both happening at the same time. MM: How’s the writing process usually work with you? So, you come to these different plateaus and they get to follow along and see my music evolve and change. Anyways, it’s been absolutely a growing process and it’s been cool.
#Mystery skulls music one of us how to
It was drums then the guitar then I learned programming and how to make beats on a laptop.
Then I went on tour for years and I got to learn guitar and piano from my friend John Moreland, who’s like this famous folk singer now and he’s the man who showed me how to write songs.
When you first started, was it the drums you learned first? I’ve been pursuing music for quite a while. I always felt like it should just be free. It was nice to have gone back and worked with the children. It definitely was great to have worked at School of Rock. Dude, I’ve been trying to e-mail you about these shows and everybody loves your music.” And I’m like, “Really? I haven’t gotten a single e-mail.” I finally get in there and there’s all this love and it was so cool. Then I remember working at School of Rock and my friend, this guy, comes around the corner and he’s like, “You’re that Mystery Skulls guy. I’d forgotten that I made that other e-mail. I made the e-mail – I guess I made two, something like like a Mystery Skulls contact and Mystery Skulls at gmail – and I hadn’t been checking the regular Mystery Skulls at g-mail. I remember Mystery Skulls was out on the internet. And so, I worked in music for years and then I kind of stopped doing music and I was working as a teacher at School of Rock. I started touring when I was 18 as a drummer in a metal band. MM: Had you already been pursing music before you moved to California? It’s great and I get to make all my music here. MM: So, you’ve got yourself a home studio then? Then about two and a half years ago I moved right downtown and I have this cool studio space and I can create here. There was also MS-13, which I know now people talk about that. I lived in K-Town and it was an exciting adventure, let me tell you. MM: So, have you lived downtown the whole time you’ve lived in L.A.? I’m originally from here and I moved back here when I encountered some health problems, but I’m hoping to move back out there eventually. MM: I live near Lowell, Massachusetts right now. I was just curious because I lived in Glendale for a few years myself. After reading it, you’ll want to head on over to Amazon and pre-order One of Us, which drops on August 11, 2017. Even once I knew it was a solo project, I still had no idea what he was like until I found some interviews with him on Youtube and discovered that he’s highly intelligent and super friendly, which, naturally, made me want to interview him. I can’t even begin to wrap my head around that. One such fan-made video has 27 million plays. In most instances, the fan-made videos have racked up more plays on Youtube than the official ones. Also making Mystery Skulls an enigma to me was the fact that he rarely appears in his videos. You can see him through some smoke as he’s sitting in a car on this one. A big reason for this was because he didn’t appear on his album covers. You see, I had no idea if Mystery Skulls was a band or solo artist. All I knew was that I loved the Mystery Skulls debut album, Forever. Mystery Skulls, otherwise known as Luis Dubuc, was something of a mystery to me prior to reading the press release for his new album, One of Us.
