Jessie Tylre Williams

   We believe the best way to introduce this talented Canadian songbird, Jessie Tylre Williams, to the world is by allowing everyone to view an interview that was done with her by a country music individual in Europe, Christian Lamitschka. (Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de)

Interview With Jessie Tylre Williams

Question: How did you get into country music and when did you start with it ?
Answer: I STARTED WRITING WHEN I WAS ABOUT 12 YEARS OLD. I ALWAYS LOVED SINGING AND WRITING BUT I DIDN'T START SINGING PROFESSIONALLY UNTIL 1993.

Question: What does country music mean to you personally?
Answer: IT'S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST THE MUSIC......IT'S ABOUT REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE AND TOUCHING THEM. IF I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN EVEN ONE PERSON AND HELP THEM THROUGH MY MUSIC THEN THAT'S WHERE MY GRATIFICATION COMES IN. THAT TO ME IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

Question: What’s your opinion about country music made in Germany?
Answer: I HAVE NEVER REALLY HAD THE CHANCE TO LISTEN TO EUROPEAN COUNTRY ARTISTS.

Question: How important is the world-wide presence of country music in your eyes?
Answer: EXTREMELY IMPORTANT....WHETHER IT BE CANADIAN, AMERICAN, EUROPEAN, OR ANYWHERE. MUSIC IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE AND IT CAN CONQUER A LOT. IT CAN HELP SOMEONE OR MAKE THEM LAUGH OR GIVE THEM HOPE NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE.

Question: What are your future plans?
Answer: TO CONTINUE TO MAKE MUSIC, TO EXTENSIVELY TRAVEL THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND TRY TO GET MY MUSIC HEARD ALL OVER THE WORLD AND TO STOP AT NOTHING TO ACHIEVE MY SUCCESS.

Question: Who was your model role in country music?
Answer: I HAD A LOT OF MENTORS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO GEORGE JONES, TANYA TUCKER, HANK WILLIAMS SR., AND KITTY WELLS.

Question: Do you have a homepage?
Answer: YES I DO. THE ADDRESS IS http://countrymusicplanet.com/jessie

Question: Why do you prefer making country music over other music styles?
Answer: I DON'T THINK WE CHOOSE OUR MUSIC I THINK, AS A WRITER, THE MUSIC CHOOSES US IN WHAT WE WRITE, HOW WE SING, AND HOW WE PERFORM THE MUSIC.

Question: Will you make a tour through Europe?
Answer: YES. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THE EXACT DATES. SO FAR WE ARE BOOKED IN GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TENTATIVE BOOKINGS FOR HOLLAND, DENMARK, FRANCE, AND NORWAY.

Question: What do you think about mixing country music with pop?
Answer: I THINK THAT MUSIC IS MUSIC. IT'S ALL IN THE LISTENER. IF THEY PREFER TO LISTEN TO POP/COUNTRY OR ROCK OR COUNTRY THEN THAT IS THEIR PERSONAL CHOICE. I LOVE MUSIC, ALL MUSIC.

Question: Which arguments would you use in order to convince someone that country music is the best music there is?
Answer: I WOULD NOT TELL ANYONE THAT ANY PARTICULAR MUSIC IS THE BEST. IF I THINK COUNTRY IS THE BEST THEN THAT IS MY CHOICE. JOHN DOWN THE ROAD MIGHT LIKE HEAVY METAL. TO EACH THEIR OWN. I AM VERY OPEN MINDED AND I WISH THAT MORE PEOPLE WOULD OPEN THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS AND REALIZE THAT THERE IS NO TYPE OF MUSIC TO PICK OVER ANY OTHER TYPE. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF PERSONAL PREFERENCE. IF YOU LIKE MY MUSIC, THAT IS AWESOME, BUT, HEY, NOT EVERYONE LIKES THE SAME THING AND THAT IS GOOD. IT WOULD BE A PRETTY BORING WORLD IF WE WERE ALL THE SAME.

Question: There is a difference between country music made in the USA and Canada. Can you explain it? What is, in your eyes, the biggest difference between the “old” and the “new” world of country music?
Answer: I THINK CANADIAN COUNTRY HAS A MORE ''FOLKSY'' SOUND, MORE THAN ANYTHING, IF THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

Question: What has been your greatest success in country music so far?

Answer: IN MARCH 2002 I WAS SHOWCASING IN NASHVILLE AND ATTENDING THE TENNESSEE CMA AWARDS SHOW WHERE I WON MOST OUTSTANDING SHOWCASE ENTERTAINER AND MOST PROMISING FEMALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR. BOTH AWARDS MADE ME VERY VERY PROUD.
