We’re always looking for new ways to help promote YOUR music. Every Thursday we’ll highlight the career and the music of a SongCast artist. Check out this week’s Spotlight interview with Stacy Papa.

What’s your first musical memory?

My first musical memory was listening to Chuck Berry as a toddler with granddad.

What artist inspires you?

The greatest artist that inspired me…there are so many of them, but I have to say Angus Young AC/DC.

What’s your latest track or album?

My latest release is an EP called Doomsday Mercy.

What song or album do you HATE?

I don’t really hate any music there’s good and bad in all genres…it depends on the individual.

What’s a song or album everyone should be listening to right now?

Dark Side of the Moon – Pink Floyd; Master of Puppets, And Justice for All – Metallica.

What profession would you choose if you couldn’t choose music?

I drive B’doubles and semi’s for a living.

Tell us more about your local scene.

The Metal scene is relatively unsupporting, unless it’s a international act touring…then people come out to support.

As a performer, what would be your ‘perfect’ live experience?

Supporting Sepultura.

What aspect drew you to the particular genre of music that you now perform/write?

I love the heavy sound of a guitar melodic yet powerful rhythmic and emotional.

Share one personal event in your life that greatly influenced a song/album that you have created during your musical career.

Doomsday Mercy was created by very serious life-changing experiences throughout the years of my life. The seriousness, the ferociousness, the confusion, the struggle, the wins, the loses…from my heart and thoughts.
