hardship.

What is the message you want to send with your music?

"No matter what happens, f*ck em we ball. It's Only Up From Here"

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

Chaotically. Lmfao we're a big ol collective. Think Odd Future meets Members Only with a little bit more choreography mixed in. That's how we'd be in front of an audience.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

Honestly speaking, we're entering a new age. The days of the big 3 are coming to an end. The internet has revolutionized the industry. Life as a digital musician is literally whatever you wanna make of it, and so therefore the only thing that I'd say needs improving is really nothing lmfao.

Seems pretty cool thus far. Can't wait to see what the future has in store.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

our own procrastination

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

To an extent. We harbor good relationships with artists around us, but a lot of them just don't treat this profession with the level of seriousness that's required, and it shows in their quality of work so it's hard to maintain support for them but that's just how it goes.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

In today's game if you don't understand the importance of marketing, self-promotion. and complete and total apathy towards everything that isn't moving you forward as an artist and as a person, you've already lost. No audience for you chief.
