“Jian Ghomeshi could teach a master class in the art of the interview.” The Salt Lake Tribune wrote that last week. It’s hard to disagree. Anyone who’s seen Ghomeshi at work likely harbors a hidden desire to be interviewed, or at least introduced, by the man.  What are his rules for conducting a solid interview?  Let them talk. Prove yourself to the subject. When you see an opening, take it. Let the subject plug his gig.  It seems simple enough. If you doubt his skills, watch him work his magic with interviewees as diverse as Werner Herzog, Brian Wilson and Kermit The Frog. Of course, anyone capable of making it through this infamous interview with Billy Bob Thorton is clearly no less than a master.  “Jian Ghomeshi could teach a master class in the art of the interview.” The Salt Lake Tribune wrote that last week.

  1. Let them talk.

After years of releasing music as a singer-songwriter, Brooklyn-based musician Lauren Zettler needed to make a change. Her new electro-pop project, Lightyear, is catchy, yet dramatic, and shows her as graceful, but still vulnerable about her emotions. Drawing from influences like Emily Haines, Feist and Robyn while also tapping into her own technical skills — she’s a classically trained pianist and studied film scoring at the Berklee School of Music — Zettler is able to create beautifully fragile moments that build up to powerfully stirring points.
