THIRSTY THURSDAY FEATURING ARGYRO

Thank you for chatting with us! For newer fans, how did your passion for music and career come about? I started as a drummer and learned some other instruments by ear. I began writing melodies, became the frontman of a high school rock band...and I guess it all progressed from there.

Where did you grow up and how has that influenced your style of music? I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA - a city with roots in the blues as well as jazz. My early years as a drummer were sculpted by Pittsburgh's diverse music scene.

You recently released your new single, "Glitterai" that you also wrote. Tell us about the writing process and where the idea came from. My latest single 'Glitterati' was written as a bit of a parody, poking fun at 'D' list entertainers as well as podcast/internet stars who carry

themselves as 'A' list celebrities. I think there is something fascinating about that phenomenon, so I decided to create a pop song with that idea in mind.

How was it filming the video for "Glitterati?" "Glitterati" was filmed in a studio on green screen with a Director as well as Producer present. It was challenging and required taking a lot of direction, but as always a very fun experience.

Is there any news for the forthcoming album? Already sitting at a piano writing a new batch of tunes, but probably too early to tell the style or messaging. It's all still percolating in my head!

Was there ever music playing in the kitchen growing up? Yes, our house growing up was often filled with the sounds of Italian love songs. Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Aunt Carmella's Favorites.

What is your favorite dish to cook? I'm not much of a cook, but I make a homemade bread with cinnamon that I'm quite proud of.

What is your favorite wine? A Greek wine I recently found on the island of Santorini called Estate Argyros - 2019 Mavrotragano (no relation).

How do you drink your coffee? Black and lot's of it!

If you could be sponsored by one food/drink brand who would it be? Estate Argyros Wine
