I interviewed Christopher Shayne from the southern rock band Christopher Shayne about their music and what inspired their new single, NiceRide.

Who are you and what do you do?

My name is Christopher Shayne, and I’m the singer/guitarist of the southern rock band Christopher Shayne! 

What is your latest song called?

We just released NiceRide which is a song about letting go and enjoying the moment!

What inspired you to write your song?

We wanted a song with a killer riff, huge chorus, and that was about just having fun. Being blues based we have a tendency to get serious with our music, so we needed some levity in our songs!

What do you love about writing songs?

Everything. There’s such a magical feeling translating what you hear in our head to an actual physical piece. Navigating those twists and turns that occur when song writing can also be exhilarating when something comes out that was not your intention. Those surprises are so much fun.

What is one piece of advice you would give to anybody else who wants to write a song?

Do not labor too long over it. Just finish it. Write it and move on. Like anything, the more you write the better you’ll get. It’s not different from any skill or muscle. So write the song and move on to the next!

Where can we listen to your music?

Anywhere music is played, you can find us there!
