Interview With Pens Eye View

June 2, 2009 Updated by brittany

PensEyeView.com (PEV): Tell us how you first got started in the music business? Has playing music always been something you’ve wanted to do?

Hana Pestle (HP): Absolutely. I feel like I’ve been singing since I was born. I used to put on silly concerts for my family since I was a toddler. One day in 8th grade, before a really hard Chemistry test, I remember thinking, “Why the hell am I sitting here stressing out about the Periodic Table of Elements? I want to be a musician.” I don’t think I had realized how much I truly just wanted to work on music for the rest of my life until that moment. After that, I started focusing on my writing and guitar skills. I didn’t abandon school though, which I’m thankful for because I had the best high school experience of all time.

PEV: A Billings, Montana native, what kind of music where you listening to growing up? What was the first concert you attended? Who is on your iPod right now?

HP: My parents had/have great taste in music, thankfully. I grew up listening to R.E.M, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Cranberries, Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLachlan, and Radiohead. Collective Soul played Billings on my 11th birthday and so my parents took me and my little sister to the show. We were right in front of Dean, the guitarist, and he threw picks to both of us. It felt like a really big deal at the time. Right now I am listening to “Sea Legs” by The Shins…it’s one of my favorite songs at the moment. Recently I’ve been listening to Lydia, the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ album is AMAZING, John Mayer, Adele, The Sunlandic Twins, and oh the list just goes on and on so I might as well just stop there.
