TWENTY-THREE | STRIKE THE SEAS | LEAD VOCALS | VIC FUENTES "SO TELL ME, WHO ARE YOU AGAIN?" "hi, i'm jude quinto and i sing for strike the seas. it's actually judas, but no one calls me that. my name apparently carries religious connotations or whatever and i guess it's hebrew? i don't really know, but i get asked that a lot and my parents really just liked the name. oh, and i'm twenty-three." "RIGHT RIGHT, SORRY. SO TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF." "right, so i guess i'm a pretty nice person, even though no one really sees that in me. well, i think most people make the snap judgement that i sleep with anything that moves and i'm really rude, for whatever reason. i don't really ever try to correct them though, so that probably doesn't help at all. i mean, if someone doesn't take the time to get to know me, they're not worth my time, right? wow, i sound like a girl. well, yeah, i can slip up and get mad sometimes. i'm only human, but i guess i'm really just more introverted than anything. i'm kind of shy and nerdy. that's why i grew out my hair, so i would look more like a rock star, even though i don't act like one. ha ha, kidding...kind of. it's not like i get nervous around people or anything or that i'm awkward around girls, i'm just more of the quiet type. i don't know, i guess i really just can't be bothered. i always try to be nice, but yeah, it usually doesn't work out that way. i'm usually seen as a douchebag instead. oh well." "INTERESTING! WHERE WAS IT THAT YOU SAID YOU COME FROM?" "well, i'm originally from tempe, arizona, but i moved when i was fairly young. i think i was seven or eight when i moved to detroit, michigan. i guess i kind of liked tempe more, but hey, what do i even remember? i'm the youngest of three brothers and i guess kind of spoiled, and i still act like that sometimes. my parents did move here from mexico, legally thank you very much. my dad painted houses when we lived in arizona until he got a better job and we moved so accommodate that. i met the rest of strike the seas when i moved the detroit, and that's when we started the band. i meant, not when i was seven, obviously, that was later on. i learned how to play the piano from my mom when i was little too, once we moved and we got a digital piano. you know, like a big keyboard that has eighty-eight keys but isn't an actual piano? yeah. i still don't think we have an actual piano, but that worked well enough. i don't know what got me into singing, but my mom teaching me piano definitely started it all. my love for music, i mean. i kind of always knew i didn't want to be a doctor or engineer or something, even though i did graduate with a fairly good gpa. yeah, that's not where my interest was. i thought maybe i'd end up in business working at a label or something, but i definitely prefer this. it's great." "WOW. SO WHAT IS A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOU LIKE?" "well, it's really not that interesting at all. i'm on tour right now, meaning that daily life is actually fun. just kidding, it always is...kind of. anyway, i generally get up, play, and talk to fans. that's pretty much it, haha. like i said though, i am kind of shy and a lot of fans already have this preconceived notion about me by what they heard or because of strike the seas' physical appearance, but i do try my best to talk to people here and there. if they want to talk to me, i won't turn that down. it's rare, so i do like it. i don't usually tell people outright that i'm shy, though, so they usually just think i'm awkward. i don't know, who really lists that as a trait? "shy?" isn't that weird? whatever. shy, awkward, it's all one deal to me. oh, plus i do interviews sometimes, and i like those a lot because i get to sit there and talk about myself, which i don't do a lot. thanks, by the way." "NICE. LAST QUESTION... WHY ARE YOU WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?" "i really never know what to say for this, because being a musician was as far as i've ever gotten planning out my future. well, i'm hoping i can stay in the music industry as i get older, because let's face it, music careers usually don't last a lifetime. maybe i'll get a job at a label or something, that'd be so great. or maybe i'll start my own! who knows what the future holds? i'm really just here to have fun and live a little." "ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?" "you have a little thing on your cheek--here, let me get it." hey there, the name's sienna. i live in the eastern time zone and this is my fourth & hopefully final character.
