Interview with Chris Corner of IAMX

Sometime last year I sat down with Chris Corner of IAMX to talk about his re-introduction to the music world. For those who don't know or don't remember, Chris Corner was the creative force of the Sneaker Pimps, and was shot into stardom in his mid teens. Several years later, he has embarked on his solo journey of IAMX (pronounced I-AM-X) which is an electronic flurry of attitude, soul and chaos.

Tired.. but fabulous~

[@Ziondweller]

IAMX has already revolutionized my inner world. Thanks for the new eyes!

[@karmalapples5942]

I already loved the music, but this is the first time I've actually seen, like... his personality and all that. I LOVE THIS MAN.

[@KanoSozaburo]

I love the pejoratively way he's asking if "dropped" is an American way !!!

[@UIOb]

You and Janine deserve everything, you love, unconditionally. And we love you back.

[@DireClown30309]

I love that he's so relaxed and cool about the whole thing...as opposed to some artists who just seem like they really don't want to be there, and act like assholes through the whole interview. I guess it's a matter of personality, sometimes!

[@666audire]

Just discovered his music. This guy is ridiculously good! Becoming my fav. almost.

[@TheFredhead99]

I'm so in love with him

[@sushi0802]

I freaking love this guy so much feeling, creativity, and poetry in his songs. Thank you for the music

[@SaraFS432]

whatever the reason... he was and is the brains behind it ALL... He had someone else singing HIS LYRICS because of shyness, part of being so fucking young and REAL. If you can see, he isn't shallow and FAKE, so he is not into being a part of the "business" which is fucking great that he can do it with out THEM. THEY scare the SHIT out of me. He is BRILLIANT.... and doing what he LOVES, not what some label is telling him he has to do.

Chris is a huge force of musicianship . I love how he expresses himself through music . I am not usually into electronic music but I think that is an unfair title for his music . His music has a lot of different sounds and he bares his soul with his lyrics . I would love to see him live in Australia one day . Thank you 🙏 for all you do ❤

[@iwanttobeasailor]

I love how he talks faster whenever using swear words.

[@BeautyInTheDarkness1]

AND LOOK AT YOU NOW CHRIS! Animal Impulses tour, you're so big now and I'm so proud

[@thebeautyisLP]

He's so great.

[@zuzx]

I love his description of the show! I've seen them recently and I totally agree with what he said, it was chaos, music, lights, sex etc. And what is more - I'm still thinking about it.

[@silentskies]

This guy. I dig. Seriously.

[@robryan8436]

11:24 is my life, that was adorable

[@alienspacedisco]

I loved his description of his show/music.

[@Skelliosis]

[@xatchuzchaan]

Such a beautful man

[@XtremeGamingMadnezz]

[@agata521]

omg he is like the cuttest thing ever

[@blackhoney1257]

okay okay I'll be going to the next IAMX concert in October and i will actually dress up and i'll try to do his make up in the song video of "president"

[@eustacia03]

Please rent that house! House concerts are wonderful!

[@Reticuli]

Sounds like Kickstarter is the way to go to fund albums and concerts in the future. Set up a site, an emailing list, and keep fans informed so they can fund the content and shows. Maybe use something like facebook or myspace to keep people informed, too.

[@XxvallchenxX]

i simply love him. i don't have to explain that i guess...

[@g0ld3nbr0wni3]

Lucky you! How did you get to him?

[@stephanielynn8604]

What song is playing in the intro ?

[@professionalwindow]

He's so fucking charming on this interview. I mean, just, adore the shit out of him.

[@ACrackedSmile]

He's from my town. ^_^ Middlesbrough =D

[@alpinejune]

my house is yours! and daylight gigs are great in a new way...yeah, Chris?)

[@massive611]

You get a chance to interview Chris Corner, and you screw it up with horrible audio quality... Bravos @alteclive

[@christophermccolley9992]

Kingdom of Welcome Addiction

[@enigmaofamigara]

Those look like the glasses Imogen wore in "My Secret Friend".

[@lunarelegance425]

'dropped' dont recall using that ever in america lol

[@monkeysandhamsters]

hes really posh! :O

[@ronnieneeley5393]

"Shot into stardom in his mid teens"? Chris was born in '74, meaning that he was 22 when Becoming X came out... unless he was doing something before then that I'm not aware of?

[@cthulhu43]

The only time I'll ever love a hipster....says the guy who listens to industrial primarily. :p

[@EvolMerMae]

i like the way he says "fuck" ......Mmmmmmm :-P

[@theverylastdrop]

You can come to my house to do a gig if you like. I have red wine and teas.

[@BelleHarrisonVids]

Hehehehehe... hipster glasses

[@lostalex77]

his glasses say "fuck"

[@TheDirtSanchezz]

nice, so he was just a hipster all along, not gay!

[@KilltheReflection333]

@kandykanekaleigh Vans warped tour is a joke! Look at the current line up... IAMX is not an extreme sport pop punk band!
