Interview: Seahorses!
With both members of Charlotte, North Carolina's Seahorses! being touring musicians for Steel Train (Justin Huey) and fun. (Emily Moore) for the majority of the year, the duo have still managed to record and self-release their first EP, 'Musical Beds Vol. I' as well play a handful of shows in the Charlotte area.
Just before playing a show overseas in London with fun., Emily sat down with Alter The Press to talk about how the band started, her background in music, the band's debut EP, performing onstage with Paramore and more.
Alter The Press: For anyone who doesn't know, who are Seahorses!?
Emily Moore: Seahorses! is just Justin (Huey) and I, just the two of us. We write and record everything ourselves. When we tour at some point, we'll have a touring band with us, which will be figured out later.
ATP: What made you want to start writing music?
Emily: It happened a long time ago. My dad is actually a blues musician in the US and I look up to him a lot, a lot of people in North Carolina do as well. He started showing me his music really early on, so I grew up around really fantastic music. I think early in middle school, I wanted to learn an instrument, and guitar was my first one, I picked it up and since then it's been my passion.
