Singer Soso Pavliashvili told socialbites.ca that his voice sometimes gets “tired” due to the numerous flights and concerts. The artist explained that in such cases, backing vocals help him sing on high notes.
“When there are 30-40 planes and 22-30 shows a month, of course your voice gets tired. But thank God, it works, I have warring ties. I don’t smoke, I do sports. Three times in my life when I opened my mouth something spilled into me. Having it three times in 37 years is basically normal. But let’s say when my voice becomes a little hoarse, the backing vocals help me: this is my son, this is my wife Irochka, my assistant Alik, he also controls the sound and sings with me, and he is also the concert director. This command helps me when I need to hit high notes. “They sing the main part, and I sing the improvisation,” he said.
According to Pavliashvili, he opposes soundtrack in performances because it is better for the audience to “feel a slightly hoarse voice”, but at the same time he knows that the artist is singing live.
“We are constantly moving, flying, never turning on the music, although sometimes you sleep one or two hours a day, maximum three hours. I do not like it. People will feel your slightly hoarse voice better, but they will know that you sing honestly for them, that you live for them, that you love, respect and appreciate them. This is my attitude. For the sake of Your Holiness the Audience, I have never regretted my voice, my health, and God always helps me heal. There is also a point that the weather is not suitable for the environment everywhere. I use Carmolis candies when I perform and they help me keep my throat from drying out when I sing. It also helps that my son Levan’s voice is very similar to mine and sometimes he even sings better than me. With the joint efforts of the family, when such moments happen, they are very rare, when you catch a cold, catch a virus, your voice breaks down, we get out of the situation honestly, with dignity and never treated the audience badly. “It’s disrespectful,” he stressed.
