ALBARN: 'I DON'T WANT TO BE THE STAR'
12/04/2006 21:24
GORILLAZ creator DAMON ALBARN is happier than ever working behind the scenes
with the animated hitmakers, because he found being a frontman difficult to
deal with.
Albarn, who scored numerous hits on the UK charts in the 1990s with his band
BLUR, admits his ego had begun to obstruct his creativity before guitarist
GRAHAM COXON quit the band in 2002. And since he no longer has to appear on
stage or give interviews, Albarn was able to immerse himself in producing the
startlingly original Gorillaz album DEMON DAYS.
He says, "I'm actually happier. I just like being able to get lost in the music
and not worry about it. I don't feel so exposed, basically. "Even though I
was a frontman for many years, I don't think I'm actually that comfortable with
it. "It's what I did when I was younger and it had its course and then it
stopped. "The image and the artifice of music is something you have to be
really aware of, otherwise it can destroy your music. "If you allow vanity to
get in the way, and ego, that's where so many people go wrong. That's why so
many people start out brilliant and end up s**t."
