Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?

It really all started with complete love for how music could change the way I felt. Almost instantly.

My Mom sang at church… She was in the choir then the worship band and was always doing her strange vocal warm-ups in our living room… I can still hear them, “ah, ah, ah!” “Oh, oh, oh!”… It was a daily thing to have music playing at the house, in the car, bedrooms, really anywhere and everywhere!

My Dad put me on to all the latest music back in the ’90s and 2000s. He showed me and my brother’s bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Smashing Pumpkins, Ever clear, and would play The Beatles, The Who, and tons of other classics when we went to work for him at the age of 14.

Music production came much later for me. First I wanted a guitar (electric of course with tons of distortion), then it was a drum kit, microphones, playing in bands in High school and writing songs and fronting bands.

Once your band breaks up after High school (inevitably), if you’re really about this music lifestyle, you find ways to continue to create music and your art. It’s really an innate part of you when you’re a musician and music lover.

Learning music production, engineering and computers came out of necessity for me. I absolutely HATED computers! I learned them and all the software because I knew it would thee a tool for music. Otherwise, I would’ve never touched a computer and probably wouldn’t be in the music industry right now…

If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why?

Sticky. Maybe it’s my ADHD but I constantly repeat melodies and phrases, over and over and over in different timbres and tonalities everywhere I go. It really drives my wife insane! Haha… But I think it’s why so many people tell me they got my songs stuck in their head…

What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look up to your work?

If you really want to be successful in music, you have to trust your gut and be yourself 100% of the time. Don’t be afraid of people hating your music, real art should make should cause a massive change in how you feel, even if it makes you cringe.

Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you? (If possible add the link)

YES! I just released the official music video for my latest single, “15 Minutes to Midnight” and I’m super excited about it!

Eric St. Godard swings Into tomorrow with jazz energy on “Changing Winds”

Eric St. Godard’s latest single, “Changing Winds,” marks the start of a new phase for him. This track is a brave step forward and a heartfelt tribute. It’s clear from the first notes that this isn’t just another jazz track. It’s a statement about who you are, what you do, and how you want to grow.

“Changing Winds” expertly blends swing, bebop, fusion, and modern sounds to create a cohesive, dynamic sound space. The arrangement changes all the time, and it does so with purpose and confidence. Every change is planned, as chapters in a story told through rhythm and tone instead of words. The track pays a lot of respect to jazz history, but it doesn’t get stuck in the past. Instead, it builds on that base and conveys a sense of modern life.

The saxophone parts are the most important part of the track. They are very brave, emotional, and bold. They don’t just make the composition look better, they also move it along. This shows that the musician doesn’t follow the rules. Each phrase is full of life, pushing the limits and staying on beat. The track will never go out of style because it strikes a balance between technical correctness and emotional spontaneity.

“Changing Winds” is interesting because of the story it tells. The groove changes the mood and texture of the music, which takes listeners on a journey that is both broad and personal. Jazz is a style that looks back on its history while also looking forward.
