Page 1 of 3  Singer Ari Gold has become one of today's hottest openly gay singers in the world, yes I said the world, his honest lyrics and truth of who he and our GLBTI community truly is is found in all his music, and his look on life makes him an outstanding artist and person, a true reflection of positive energy. He has remained true to himself since the beginning, and even as he has and will continue to skyrocket into an incredible career, he has managed to do it being "real".
In a world where celebrity is becoming more and more blurred and role models are harder to fine, we are happy to have Ari Gold in our community. I caught up with Ari earlier this month as he released his latest album "Transport Systems," what follows is some of my interview with this Out & Proud Recording Artist. Enjoy!
Olivera: I talked to you back in 2005 and I know that a lot has changed with you. I want to talk about the difference between then and now, since you have really blown up since then. Have you learned any life lessons from then and now?
Gold: Well yes I have learned a lot since then. I learn life lessons every day. I think that since I put out my last record in 2004, one thing that I am learning is to own my own power in a way and give myself the license to do it. I have always been out and explicit in my lyrics, but with this new record I really went there. I took the risks of laying it out there and sing about all the things that I wanted to sing about.
Olivera: How has it changed you in terms of you personally? I am sure that the fame has had to change you in some way.
Gold: For me it’s not like I have the paparazzi following me around. I have been in show business since I was 6 years old. In that sense not that much has changed, I see the growth and the recognition that I get and I think that more fans are coming on board and I am getting more fan mail and people are stopping me on the street, but I love that stuff. You want to affect people. I live a pretty normal life, I go out and I don’t have a big entourage with me, I’m just a regular guy in a lot of ways.
