ON THE RECORD
Ever since Lee Feldman was a boy
growing up in New York City, he
dreamed of becoming a recognized
musician. Now, with his first album,
Living It All Wrong, he's received high
marks from critics and airplay from
radio programmers.
Feldman, 38 and single, earned a
degree in music composition at
Indiana University, where he wrote
chamber, orchestra and big band
music. Recently, in a small coffee shop
in midtown Manhattan, Feldman
•
talked about his first CD and the
struggle to make it in the highly com-
petitive music industry.
JN: How has your CD changed
your life?
L.E: Since it came out, people take
`Living It
All Wrong
New York City-based pianist/singer/
songwriter Lee Feldman has already
been compared to Randy Newman
more times than a Steinway has
keys. Truth be told, he more imme-
diately recalls Ben Folds. Referring
to him as Lee Foldman or Ben
Felds, however,
would be giv-
ing him short
shrift.
Feldman's

me more seriously as a singer and
songwriter. Now I have validation and
far more people respect what I do.
Unfortunately, in the music business
fame comes way before fortune.
JN: You are likened to Randy
Newman. Was he someone you
admired?
L.F.: I wasn't familiar with his
work until about 10 years ago, so I
can't say he was an inspiration, but I
felt when I listened to him he was a
kindred spirit. There is an honesty
and an irony in his lyrics, and the
fact that he is a piano player and a
pop musician, I kind of felt some of
that kinship.
JN: How personal are your songs?
L.E: I guess everything is personal
— it all comes out as my feelitigs and
(Pure/Mercury), is rife with subtle
sketches of uneasy relationships. His
music doesn't necessarily grab the
listener by the collar upon first spin.
Rather, these are songs that snag the
listener gradually.
The title track's opening line
warns the listener that this will not
be a batch of silly love songs ("I
talked to Rebecca on the phone last
night/I made her feel bad when she
was feeling alright").
In fact, there isn't much frivolity
here at all.
