An Interview
with Scott Hooper |

CD's
and more |
|
 |
| Sasha: |
|
What got you started writing songs and stories for children? |
| Scott: |
|
I've been writing silly songs and stories since I was nine.
I owe my sense of humor to my mom, who always taught me
silly poems, and my passion for reading aloud to my dad,
who used to read to us by the fireplace on Sunday
evenings. |

|
What's your music background? |
|
Scott: |
|
|
I took piano lessons as a child, but fell in love with guitar the very first time
I played one. I also had music theory and vocal training in college. However,
I learned most of what I know about songwriting from studying other people's
songs and, most importantly, by never giving up. |
|
Sasha: |
|
|
What gave you the idea for "Zoo Break"? |
|
Scott: |
|
|
It started off small, with the song "Foolin' You At the Zoo." Then I began
working on the characters, and got hooked on the idea. |
|
Sasha: |
|
|
What are you working on now? |
|
Scott: |
|
|
I'm writing songs for the sequel to "Zoo Break! - The Big Break," entitled
"Zoo Break 2 - Out of the Zoo." I'm looking forward to telling more about
Mister Monkey, Herbert the Hippo and T.C. Giraffe. There are more Zoo
Break characters too, Boomer the kangaroo, Zelda the Zebra, and Rufus
the balloon man, to name afew. |
