Natalie Durkin, producer of Sounds and the City interviewed Adam Mars last June 2017. Throughout the week, we will air never before heard footage of the interview after this introduction about “celebrities.”

Here’s a partial reprint of the Acrostic Interview by Adam Mars that we will highlight throughout the week:

TribeLA Magazine Acrostic Interview.1

Tagline: Give yourself and your work a tagline.
I hold a funhouse mirror up to culture and make people see their world more clearly.

Rest: How do you spend your time off?
I’m usually partying with friends, going to concerts, or watching the Dodgers.

Influence: What effect do you hope to have on us?
I hope to reflect our evolving popular culture in a way that humors and informs my audience.
