Music

Khamari

Khamari "for me, it’s not necessarily about the confidence level. It’s about when you walk into a room with people, and you’re also dealing with their feelings and their perspective. "

UPSAHL

UPSAHL "In the last few years, my life lined up in a way where I started to burn out on the writing front. So when I got to go on the road and tour for a few months when I returned, I was utterly inspired.”

Idina Menzel

Idina Menzel "I haven't been shy about talking about my anxiety, and I'm afraid it's gotten worse as I've gotten more successful, unfortunately. I think because I feel more people are watching. And I think when you're more successful, you've got further to fall."

Lily Moore

Lily Moore "I just want to keep going. I want to keep getting my song's out there and gradually getting bigger. I have massive dreams. But everyone's taught just to constantly look for the next thing and never stop and just appreciate what they've done at the moment. And I feel like right now I'm in shock I've actually even managed to get anything out. Let alone be a normal human being. I want to keep writing songs, making an album, and tour the world."

Jeremy Zucker

Jeremy Zucker "The only thing that hits me as a real statistic is how many people are at the show and how the room feels when I play a set."

McFly

McFly "This time, we wanted to have like a clear direction, clear vision, and clear sound. We did this giant mood board and wrote all the words about what McFly meant to us or what this album was meant to represent and sound like. One of the most common words we wrote was 'guitars.' That was a big turning point for us. We are a band that loves making music, but specifically, we're a rock band, and we haven't made the most of that."

New Rules

New Rules:“It definitely feels like we’ve found our voice. Especially more recently.”

ALMA

ALMA: "I can be very anxious and want to run into another room, but then when I force myself to go on stage not knowing what’s going to happen, it just disappears. That’s like magic to me."

Glüme

Glüme: "Everyone’s inner child should think should I check in with myself?"

Louis Dunford

Louis Dunford: "I get messages all the time from young lads that have been affected by the music or that say the tunes resonate with them. And that's worth me feeling a bit awkward or a bit vulnerable."

The Aces

“We’ve made this next album from really pure intentions, you know, every time commercialism or capitalism came knocking at the door, we told it to fuck off.”

Barns Courtney

Barns Courtney: “I sometimes
wonder when
people tell you that your music saved their life, if actually, when you feel powerless, perhaps it’s easier to put your power somewhere else.”
