Anonymous: what was the craziest/strangest thing you saw last weekend at the festival?
King Princess: Girl, the outfits. Just the outfits. Have you seen these ‘fits? The ass that’s involved. It’s iconic.

Anonymous: Where do you find your style inspiration?
Anderson .Paak: I think it comes from being a kid and the stuff I was into when I was younger, you know. I think it’s a reflection of my personality and my music. I like a wide range of things so I like to keep it colorful, you know, feel good. Have something that people talk about. I can’t be regular. I try sometimes but it’s hard. I just like to have fun.

@gongjunim-princess: What is it like performing in front of all those people? The exact moment you step on stage is it like an out of body experience, or is it like a heat of the moment thing?
Mon Laferte: I was more nervous last week and this week I was like... feeling this fire in my body! It was like this at Coachella and I have to enjoy it. I felt it like electricity today. I felt alive.
La semana pasada estaba más nerviosa y esta semana estaba como... sentía fuego en mi cuerpo. Y fue así come ok estoy en Coachella y tengo que disfrutarlo... y sentía como electricidad hoy. Me sentí muy viva.

Anonymous: Is there a message that you hope your music conveys to people? CHVRCHES: I feel like it’s for people to empower their own meaning from what we sing about and what we write about. I think a lot of it can be taken quite literally, but it’s for people to interpret as well. That’s what art is supposed to be. I think it’s your individual interpretation, whatever that may be. Individuality. Honesty.

@x-muna-x: what’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced in your career and how did you overcome it?
Sabrina Claudio: Confidence was the biggest struggle for me. I got it back by finding my purpose and that was by making music that I actually wanted to write.

@calberty: What was your inspiration for Nothing Happens?
Braeden Lemasters: The overall inspiration has been built up for years now because we’ve been a band for so long and it seems like it was all building up to the debut album. We’ve always wanted an album, and it was crazy when we started recording it. So the inspiration comes from a bunch of different areas in our lives. A bunch of different music. And inspired by our own inner being. Cole Preston: We all grew up together. So it’s about youth, moving on. It’s very nostalgic for us. And it’s been a long time coming.
