Janek
Gwizdala
Multi-faceted
Multi-tasker
Every
musician wants to stay busy but Janek Gwizdala takes multi-tasking to entirely new
levels. On the international modern Jazz scene, he maintains a busy, some may
say intense, recording and touring
schedule. But the UK-born, LA-based Gwizdala is also a respected columnist,
educator, and author whose recently self-published book - You’re a Musician. Now What? - has been garnering rave reviews. He
is also adept at engaging his large fan base through social media networking
channels such as Instagram and Twitter to interact freely with his audience
while promoting his latest works.
And if
that is not enough, he formed the charity We
Need Strings to help musicians around the world who do not have access to
strings. With many players changing their strings weekly – even daily –
Gwizdala saw that there was still life in these strings; enough life for the
countless players with no choice. So far the response has been extraordinary as
hundreds of lightly used strings have shipped globally to musicians in need.
We were
able to catch up with Janek in between breaks on his recent clinic tour of
Australia and New Zealand to discuss a few of his many recent projects.
