What was it like adopting a new genre? It’s actually very different and fun. It feels very normal because it’s a genre of music that I’ve always wanted to do.

I’ve always wondered how I could get the thoughts of how I felt in a…

How has the music industry changed from when you first began your career up until now? The music industry has changed so much and so quickly as technology has advanced.

Has your home of Zurich, Switzerland, had an influence on the sound of your music? I don’t believe so. Switzerland is at the crossroads of Germany, Italy, and France which all have a strong music tradition that Switzerland absorbed to various degrees.

The “Panic” music video cinematically depicts an apocalyptic blackout! What was the brainstorming process for the music video’s concept?

How would you describe your musical journey with the country genre since you first started making music? Lance: Our journey in country music hasn’t always been the easiest. I (Lance Curtis) started playing music at a year old with my grandpa and uncle’s family band. I played with them whenever I could for 16 years, until my grandpa passed away in 2017. It was always a family affair and he…
What was the experience of creating “Sunday Afternoon”, and can you walk us through your songwriting process?
