CURRENT MEMBERS
D did that and Tim Rose
With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
We were both locked down in Los Angeles county and we’re unable to move around basically for the rest of the year. We both lost our jobs. Tim lives in a converted van that he changed into a mobile studio (where we do most of our production) so it was a bit rough for him. We kept creating though!
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We’re completely independent and so touring at this point is still very much up in the air for the summer. We still release one single every month leading up to our upcoming album “The Long Way Tape” which will be released early 2022. We keep a constant flow of new music coming out, so stay tuned!
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home? How are you supporting your mental health through all of this?
Both of us have a strong faith that things are the way that they are supposed to be. We spent our time at home doing what we do best; collaborating remotely with artists and making music. To be completely honest, we probably worked on more music during the pandemic than before— which is a blessing. D did that released his own EP called “Q tapes vol. 1” which is out now and Tim produced two singles for Sierra Blax; “Good Type of Love” and “INYIM” which stands for ‘it’s not you it’s me” — also available everywhere
How are dealing with the Covid third wave?
We are both vaccinated and as things open back up, we are looking forward to playing safe, properly distanced live shows in our city. LA county has gone through it, which means we’ve gone through it— and we’re sort of battle hardened at this point. We will continue to crank out regular music safely and be grateful that we are healthy for the time being.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
To be frank we are just hearing about this platform for the first time! We are excited to be introduced to this community and look forward to digging through the YouTube sessions.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Be safe, Be Kind, and Help Others! Those things are paramount to our lifestyle. We want to make the world a better place for our community, not just through our music but through our actions. We hope others are doing the same!
