Thank you for chatting with us! You recently released your new single, "I Want You.” Tell us about the writing process and where the idea came from.
Daniel: I wrote the song about someone I really liked and I asked them out by creating this song for them! It’s about wanting someone to be yours; it’s a song about acceptance, love, and connection.
If you could only perform one of your songs for someone who has never heard of you, what song would that be?
Daniel: “I Want You”
Zack: “Think About You”
Esteban: “Okay”
Chris: “Death & His Friends”
At the end of the day, what do you hope is the message of your music? What do you hope people take away from your songs?
Daniel: We hope that you can enjoy our songs and lyrics. We talk a lot about relationships. How we feel internally. And we have songs where we can let loose and just dance with friends.
Did you always want to be a musician or was there a specific moment that something happened that made you think "this is what I want to do with my life." If so, what was it?
Daniel: I’ve always wanted to be a singer and songwriter since I was 12 years old and I performed at teen centers.
Zack: Tré Cool from Green Day inspired me to play drums.
Esteban: My cousin showed me and brought me into the music world where I learned many instruments and even singing.
Chris: I saw someone in college play guitar and wanted to be better than them, so I learned guitar starting in college.

Finally, if you could be sponsored by one food/drink brand who would it be and why?
