Today I thought I would switch up genres and
interview AJ Murphy from Shattering Silence, an independent metal band from
Brevard County Florida.

Hip Hop: So
tell me where did you all come up with the name Shattering Silence?
A.J. Murphy: To tell you the truth, we just
locked ourselves in a room and said we were not allowed out till we came up
with a name and several hours later the name just happened.
A.J. Murphy: I was about 14 years old when a
friend said that I needed to learn guitar, but he gave up teaching me, so I
just continued to teach myself and loved it.
321 Indie
Hip Hop: Who
were your music influences growing up?
321 Indie

A.J. Thanks for your time and I’m looking forward to hearing your new CD when
it comes out.
