You can check out a recent music video from them a little later on in this interview.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Whole Notes had a chance to catch up with Martel to talk about the unexpected response to his rendition of \u201cSomebody to Love,\u201d his appearance on \u201cEllen,\u201d what his band thinks about the overwhelming notoriety he has received, and what would happen should he be selected for the 2012 summer tour:<\/p>\n<p>Chad Bonham: How have people inside the Christian music industry and the Christian community in general reacted to your sudden rise in popularity?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_725\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-725\" style=\"width: 214px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/wholenotes\/files\/2011\/10\/img8734-w1900h1900.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-725\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/263\/2011\/10\/img8734-w1900h1900-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-725\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Downhere (Marc Martel, far right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Marc Martel: I\u2019ve been blown away by how supportive everyone\u2019s been. As soon as this started to blow up, I started getting a little anxious. \u201cOh no. What are people going to think?\u201d But there\u2019s been so much support from the Christian community. People are telling me they\u2019re praying for me. They\u2019re proud of me. They\u2019re thankful for the things I\u2019ve said in the mainstream media. I have to give the glory to God for that. I am not the spokesperson for the band. Jason (Germain) has always been the guy with something to say. But I\u2019ve talked through, with him, how to handle the tough questions and I think it\u2019s an amazing opportunity for the Gospel.<\/p>\n<p>Bonham: We\u2019ve seen in recent years where bands like P.O.D., and Switchfoot weren\u2019t as popular in the Christian industry until after they experienced mainstream success. There\u2019s a good chance that your situation will cause some people to take a second look at the band. Would you meet any newfound support with cynicism or with an understanding that this is all about divine providence?<\/p>\n<p>Martel: It\u2019s easy to get jaded about that whole thing, but what are you going to do. You\u2019re a musician and you live and die by people responding to your music. It\u2019s a business just like anything else and if people don\u2019t like your music, that\u2019s kind of your problem. I\u2019m trying to take that whole thing with a grain of salt. If the Christian community responds to our music better because maybe we gained a little more credibility in the mainstream then, it\u2019s not ideal, it\u2019s not fun, it\u2019s not sexy, but I\u2019ll take it. I\u2019m the worst critic about music myself. I hardly ever, every like something the first time I listen to it. So I\u2019ve got to put myself in other people\u2019s shoes. And Downhere\u2019s sound doesn\u2019t sound like what\u2019s popular in Christian music. We\u2019ve got a little bit of criticism lately that our sound is maybe a little bit dated because maybe I sound like Freddie Mercury. But I can\u2019t change that about myself. People just seem to like more of the Baritone, nice soft voice these days. That\u2019s not me. I just keep doing what I\u2019m called to do and hope that it\u2019s enough.<\/p>\n<p>Bonham: What was your first introduction to Queen and how long have you been a fan?<\/p>\n<p>Martel: Of course I always knew \u201cWe Will Rock You\u201d and \u201cWe Are The Champions\u201d and all those. But my real introduction to Queen the band and knowing who they were was the movie <em>Wayne\u2019s World<\/em> like a lot of people in my generation. I bought a couple of their greatest hits albums and really got into their music over the last 10 years. But yeah, I\u2019m a fan.<\/p>\n<p>Bonham: At what point did you figure out that you had a strong vocal resemblance to Freddie Mercury?<\/p>\n<p>Martel: People have been saying that for about seven or eight years now\u2014that I sound like Freddie Mercury\u2014no matter what I do. Even when I try to not sound like him, someone will say, \u201cHey, has anyone told you that you sound like that guy from Queen?\u201d I guess I just have the same vocal structure or something. I can\u2019t escape it.<\/p>\n<p>Bonham: Did you enter the Queen contest with any expectations?<\/p>\n<p>Martel: I tried to present myself as much \u201cas is\u201d as possible. That\u2019s kind of how I went into this whole thing mentally. I tried to keep my expectations really low and not try to hype myself up at all or psych myself out\u2014even down to not cleaning my room. It was really intentional and I really just wanted to sing the song and not dress up or do my hair or anything. I did leave the mustache though.<\/p>\n<p>Bonham: What has been the band\u2019s reaction so far?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/wholenotes\/files\/2011\/10\/downhereotaol1-w1900h19001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-732\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/263\/2011\/10\/downhereotaol1-w1900h19001-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"210\" \/><\/a>Martel: They are so pumped about it. We\u2019ve been looking for, as a band, a way to broaden our borders and think outside of the Christian music box a little bit and not be so dependent of Christian radio. That\u2019s always been a little bit of a struggle for us. We have had some success, but we\u2019ve always been a band that\u2019s been under the radar. That makes it so we have to work a little harder. The band is loving it. This Queen thing is not really interfering with our schedule anyway. It works to our advantage. Any good that comes out of it is going to help Downhere.<\/p>\n<p>Bonham: It was fun watching your appearance on \u201cEllen\u201d and seeing your wife\u2019s excitement.<\/p>\n<p>Martel: It\u2019s been a crazy year for the two of us. We got married last November so it\u2019s been a huge adjustment year for both of us. It\u2019s been beautiful. We have a great relationship. We\u2019re loving being married. And if this had happened eight months ago, it probably would\u2019ve been a lot tougher on us because we were really newlywed and kind of finding our rhythm. But this is happening at a really good time. And my wife is such a huge \u201cEllen\u201d fan. She was over the moon when she found out I was going to be on the show.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-FMlDcEOjF0\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-FMlDcEOjF0<\/a>\n<p>Bonham: How do you feel about the new album and where it positions the band as you hopefully are getting fresh sets of eyeballs looking your direction?<\/p>\n<p>Martel: We\u2019ve always been the band that\u2019s not afraid to appropriately, I believe, point fingers within the church and point out problems that we all run into and the traps we all fall into, especially as Christians, and using this alien language that no one outside the church can understand. This was actually an album where we decided not to do that. We cranked out something that\u2019s more joyful than other music we put out in the past. It\u2019s more positive and it\u2019s focusing on the excitement of discovering who God is; like the song \u201cLet Me Rediscover You.\u201d I\u2019m so glad I wrote that song, especially now that we have more of a national platform for people to hear a song like that so God can be revealed in a fresh, new way.<\/p>\n<p>Bonham: What was the inspiration behind that song and how do you hope it impacts listeners?<\/p>\n<p>Martel: I think my mom said it best when she first heard the song. She said, \u201cOh this is the perfect song to start my day with.\u201d She\u2019s a very dedicated morning devotions person. She reads her Bible every morning. And I think the song is kind of a morning prayer. \u201cGod let me discover you in a fresh new way because You are eternal. There\u2019s so much about You that I don\u2019t know.\u201d It\u2019s a humbling prayer that allows God to speak into our lives and blow away our expectations of how He works and who He is. The song is kind of inspired by the second verse in the Bible where the Spirit of God is hovering over the waters and creation. To me, it\u2019s a beautiful picture, and at the same time it\u2019s so mysterious. What does that even look like?<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Downhere - Let Me Rediscover You (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3O0BfTOkGK8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p>Bonham: It seems like you guys enjoy playing off the fact that you have two lead singers with differing vocal tones.<\/p>\n<p>Martel: Yeah, we are definitely two distinct writers in the band. We love to write parts for each other. That sets us apart a little bit, us having two lead singers with such different styles. When they come together, it kind of creates a whole new thing.<\/p>\n<p>Bonham: I was interviewing Matt Maher last week and your story came up in the conversation. One thing he said about you was how unaffected you seemed to be by all of the craziness surrounding this whole situation. Do you feel unaffected by what\u2019s happening and if so, how are you managing it?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_727\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-727\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/wholenotes\/files\/2011\/10\/img8483-w1900h1900.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-727\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/263\/2011\/10\/img8483-w1900h1900-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-727\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Downhere (Marc Martel, second from right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Martel: The thing is, we\u2019ve all seen what fame does to people. We\u2019ve all seen how long it lasts. I kind of feel like I know what to expect. It\u2019s not going to last for a long time, and probably this hype thing, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if no one\u2019s talking about it in a week. And I\u2019m totally okay with that. I feel like I have a pretty good way of looking at it. I know how limited and how fleeting fame is, so I just try not to get excited about it, honestly. I think my wife wishes I was more excited about it. She\u2019s the kind of person who doesn\u2019t hide her emotions at all. I probably need to be a little more excited about it than I\u2019ve actually shown.<\/p>\n<p>Bonham: For the guy who\u2019s fought the comparisons to Freddie Mercury, you\u2019ve got to think this situation shows that God has a pretty good sense of humor.<\/p>\n<p>Martel: Absolutely, and I think the last 10 years have been a preparation for me to be able to handle this. I don\u2019t think I could\u2019ve handled this 10 years ago. God\u2019s moving in this very obviously.<\/p>\n<p>Bonham: If you win this contest and get the chance to tour next summer with the Queen Extravaganza, how would you expect God to use you to impact others?<\/p>\n<p>Martel: Obviously I would be working for Queen and obviously I\u2019m not going to be preaching on stage or anything like that. I really believe that any influence this would have for the Gospel, God is going to be handling that. All I can do is be faithful with my gift, be faithful with anyone I talk to and let love be my guide and just be gracious with people. God will take care of the rest. I really believe that.<\/p>\n<p><em>To stay up on the latest news from Downhere, visit the band&#8217;s official website by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.downhere.com\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click &#8220;Like&#8221; to share this with your friends!
