The 25 -year -old musician is the son of the U2 leader and was advised by his father in relation to the ‘expectation that we would receive things’
A career in music may be a difficult way to follow, but everything is easier when we hear advice from those who have been in this position before. Elijah Hewsonson of Bonofrom U2and member of the band InhalerHe said he received a father’s recommendation on how to deal with expectations – although he also said that having a famous father has not earned him so many advice or opportunities.
In a statement to the column Wiredfrom Daily Star Sunday, Hewnson He said he would love to receive a little more advice, to be honest, ”but recalled one that takes it to this day:“ The best advice I received from him was the kind of advice you would receive from a father, who is: ‘Do not let this go through . This is a moment, you are in it, and you have to throw yourself in it. ”
About having a famous father, the musician said there are pros and cons. “There is definitely an expectation of people’s failure and an expectation that they would give us things,” the singer explained. “Although there were advantages, surely what it made us do was work hard because we didn’t want to be perceived as if we were walking for it.”
Even things like getting big support slots at first, we were a little hesitant to go after it because there would be that kind of, ‘oh, well, you only got it because he’s friends with your father and I don’t know what’… for another Side, it would be ridiculous not to take this opportunity. We are still learning to navigate for it.
In 2019 the leader of Inhaler spoke about the relationship with the famous father, when he declared to NME That “people always ask: you get really good advice from your father about music and composition, and the honest truth is … no,” said the Irishman. “Yes, they are a very successful band, but I have opinions completely different about his composition. ”
“This leads us to prove to ourselves. I think this leads us to really want to perform better and prove to ourselves, playing in the bathrooms and doing all these crazy tours. This leads us to be better. If we were shit, you wouldn’t bother to talk to us, ”he added.
The following year, in an interview with GQthe singer said he hoped to receive more support from Bono in relation to the musical career. “They wanted me to go to college, like all our parents. I think they just saw that I loved and we were good. ”
I think this was the main one. I think if we were not good, they would have told us immediately to give up and go to school. They have supported us now, they really have.
