Quick Hit Artist Interview: Mason Summit

Mason Summit at The Satellite
Q&A time with the artist. Hope you enjoy:

How would you describe your sound? I try really hard to not have an easily-categorized sound, but I naturally gravitate towards power-pop/‘60s psychedelic/acoustic type stuff. My favorite thing to do in a song is to juxtapose dark lyrics with a catchy melody a la Phil Ochs, Elliott Smith, Elvis Costello, Pernice Brothers, etc.

What inspires you to write/compose your songs? More than anything, I’m motivated by the satisfied feeling I get when I complete a song. My sense of self-worth is deeply tied into my level of creative productivity; when I’m not writing or recording I just don’t feel I’m doing anything worthwhile.
