What are you doing here in New York? New York inspires a lot of people for a lot of different reasons. What does it do for you? Leaning into it. If we fast-forward to present day, is the problem more that the industry has crumbled altogether? Or are the same problems that led to the founding of Communion in still present today?
Tell me about your involvement with Save Our Stages. That sort of thing. There are a lot of things that go into your musical aesthetic. Could you speak to the musical influences that helped you shape your music? How are these elements brought in? This may lead us to a discussion of songwriting: do songs and projects begin as kernels or motives or ideas or is there always an overarching concept or plan to the music? That can be a time where those knots are unraveling subconsciously.
When you write songs, do you write at the piano or can you be anywhere? Your hands fall into familiar patterns, and that sort of thing.

The next venture will be in Huntsville, a city in Alabama. There are challenges to running an organisation in multiple countries, but I jump back and forth between the UK and US monthly. The advantage is maintaining cross learning. But do these plans distract Lovett from his music career? Not at all. In fact, he says that his bandmates are very supportive. As the youngest of four children, he says it was a way to separate himself from his siblings.
I mean, I guess all teenage band names are bad. At that age he still had vague plans to become an astrophysicist, but when he was 16 a conversation with saxophonist Branford Marsalis prompted him to change direction. I took his words to heart and from that moment on I have done just that. It was great to be able to close the loop. In , before Mumford and Sons had released their first album, Lovett founded his artist-led community, label and promotion company Communion, which has released records by Ben Howard, Gotye and Willy Mason.
