Inspired #290 - GAWJUSS — When The Horn Blows

Kieran Wade Clarke, otherwise known as GAWJUSS, has dropped a steady string of releases since 2019. He talked us through what inspires both him, and his latest single ‘Sleepwalker’.

Who are your top three musical inspirations?

Sting, Brian Jonestown Massacre + MBV

What city do you find the most inspiring?

I grew up in a tiny mining village so cities are really not my cup of tea but I’d probably say Bruges. I like the beer, chocolate and the cold.

Who is the most inspiring person to you?

Probably me mam or Anthony Bourdain.

What were your inspirations when writing your new EP?

I became a dad in 2019 after the first Gawjuss EP dropped. So I’d say my daughter, becoming a dad in a pandemic and red wine really inspired me to write this new one.

How would you like to inspire people?

With my music? I’m a shit painter.
