to talk about and criticise these things. For example, I’ m an immigrant, so we wrote a song about what it’ s like to be an immigrant. We also have a song that’ s titled“ None of Your Business”, and another song called“ iRelationship 2.0”, which reflects mockingly on how we interact with things like online dating and how it’ s just not possible anymore to go over to someone and be like hey, let’ s go on a date, you’ re always just swiping right on your phone, right?
Do you think the mixing of social media with dating has made it a lot harder for people to ask each other on dates face to face? Exactly, because we created this routine that you have to follow. I think we are so afraid to go back in time and just approach a random person in public, because we are so much busier now and online dating is just more convenient.
What sort of reaction are you getting from people when they hear your music? We’ re getting a really good reaction.

If you could use any fashion item to describe yourself, what item would you choose and why? Sunglasses, to hide my regrets!

What sort of advice would you like to give to other bands starting out? I’ m normally the one who takes advice, I listen to everyone as much as I can and try to get as much feedback as I can. Just love what you do and fall in love with your creations. That will reflect in your work. What is the best advice you’ ve ever received?“ Don’ t get drawn to what people are saying, and just do what you like so that you don’ t move too far away from what you originally wanted to do.” Go with
