Who is your favourite artist of all time?

Kevin: If I haaaaad to pick one in popular music, it would probably be Sting. I relate to him so much. He’s a nice guy, self-deprecating to a fault, but extremely intellectual and thoughtful about life and his art and knows how to relate it to a wide range of people. His career is one that I love as well, because he’s explored so many different types of music which has enriched his life. Not to mention…he looks like he’s 40!

What do you think the most important thing in a musical group is and why?

Matt: The connection the singer has with the music is most important. If you’re not connecting to what you’re doing then you won’t relate and people won’t connect.

Kevin, how hard was it to pick up mandarin? And are you fluent in any other languages?

Kevin: I loved learning Mandarin! I think as a musician, it’s actually not as difficult because you can differentiate the tones quite well. Grammar is pretty simple. The hard part is the memorization of characters, and that’s just looking at characters every day. But I enjoyed it so much that I didn’t feel like it was a difficult task to do! I’m proficient in Spanish, French, and I speak a bit of Yoruba (my dad’s native tongue).

Kevin: If I had a superpower, it would be able to give people exactly what they needed to live life full of joy.
